So I started a thread a while back that people were telling me my dog was going to eat my baby, I then followed up once baby arrived that dog hasn't eaten baby. He is really good, when she cries he tries to lick her feet (not sure where he got the idea that would help!) but other wise doesn't really notice her.
However one problem has developed that I don't know how to fix. Bailey was never a dog that barked much but the last few weeks he's started. Basically I'll be sitting down, he'll come in from the garden and he will want me to go out and play with him. I can't always, if I'm feeding DD for instance and then he'll start barking at me. I don't know how to stop him.
I don't want to keep him locked outside because that's just not fair or what he's used to but the day he woke DD (who doesn't sleep a lot) I was ready to throw him out.
DD is 4 weeks tomorrow
Bailey is a 16 month golden retriever
What hasn't helped is DH has taken over walking him and can't do it till he gets home from work, I used to take him in the morning. I live in rural Ireland, dog walkers do not exist. BIL helps by taking him once a week but he really doesn't want to do more than that.
Help please! I love my dog but I'm getting really frustrated and its not fair because he's lovely. I was sitting on the couch earlier feeding DD and he lay down beside me and put his head in my lap.
