:Thanks so much!! This all sounds easy to do and makes me feel better. :) I hate to think I'm just suddenly not a dog person or something because I truly am not at all bonded with him and I'd like to be. I don't want to spend the next 10 years or more just irritated with him. LOL.
:I'll check out that link for trainers.
:Thanks,

I agree with the advice to get training help, etc. I think it could be helpful to also point out here that with a baby on the way, your feelings about the dog may be affected by other priorities. Just something to think about. Women sometimes feel radically different about dogs at such times, and even more so after the baby comes.
