Today, the neighbors in the next apartment reported me to the police for screaming at my newborn to "shut the hell up" every time he cries. I would never yell at my baby. My asshole of a dog on the other hand barks at everything, which terrifies the baby, causing him to cry. FML

My dog IS trained. Generally, he just needs to be told "heel" or "quiet" and he obeys. However, ever since the baby has come home ( 3 weeks) hes gone into super protective mode. A car door slams and hes "killer guard dog". Its getting ridiculous and I do get exasperated when it happens multiple times within a half hour. He DOES listen when I yell, because its not something I have ever done with him. Afterwards, however, we go through the "heel" command and give treats. He just hasnt settled down yet! Maybe Ill just start yelling "Heel Killer!!" ( totally kidding, calm down, no more yelling for me)

Get the dog looked after by someone else for a little while or train it not to bark... I bet having a new born and a barking dog is going to ensure you get very little sleep.

You don't abandon family members because they "won't shut up".

I have a Pomeranian who is a year old. He is very well trained. I've never spanked him nor have I raised my voice at him. I don't treat my dog like I'm his 'master', I speak to him like I would a toddler and he listens very well. In my opinion dogs are very intellectual and learn quickly if people actually put forth the effort to teach them. My dog doesn't get into people's food, he doesn't bark inside, he doesn't chew on things he's not suppose to, and knows many nonverbal commands (when I was training him I had to do it without my voice for the first month due to an illness). If you aren't going to take the time to teach your dog, you don't need one- get a snake or something.

Well it's good the dog is protective of the baby. I had one like that and him and the dog grew up together and had a blast with each other. Sad when the dog died. We all still remember him he was that great a part of our family

I had the same problem when my gf was pregnant. The dog (normally well behaved) went into crazy over-protective mode, and has been neurotic since the baby was born. Now we're having another baby, and the dog has only gotten weirder. Seriously, if yelling helps than do it. All the people saying "train your dog" or "yelling ***** your baby up" should shut the **** up and try having a misbehaving pet and a baby at the same time.

I think that is just sad for your dog and the babies. I know that giving him away/up is like giving up a family member, but it sounds like your dog isn't exactly happy and relaxed now and I think it would be better for the dog to give him away/up or get some serious help for the dog. Like a lot of animal shelter campaigns say though: A dog isn't just your dog until you get children. That is true, but that is why I think you shouldn't start with children unless you know the dog can comprehend it. It's better to wait until the dog dies of old age or get a dog after you have the baby.

Pack Mentality. You're the dog's pack. :) It's gonna protect the "pups" (kids) with it's life. One reason I love dogs!

Get rid of your stupid dog. I mean that seems like the most logical thing to do for the good of the human baby.

Easy way to fix this. Get cat instead of dog. Done.
