There are several important safety issues to consider when introducing your dog and your baby. Make sure your dog is regularly de-wormed and is flea and tick free before allowing any contact with your baby. Put a gate at the door to your baby's room to prevent your dog from entering when you're not there to supervise. Remember that all dogs are capable of aggression when provoked, so take the following precautions to ensure your baby's safety:
* Teach your dog the command "gentle." Work with your dog to accept gentle squeezing and pulling of paws, ears and hair.
* Never play tug-of-war with your dog as it encourages aggressive behavior.
* Teach your baby not to bother the dog while he's sleeping or eating.
