i played baby crying noises for the first time today to help prepare my puppies for the baby and the were completely unfazed! my white dog looked at me confused for a couple minutes but then just kept on playing with the little one the rest of the time. i'm so excited they didn't freak out- this is a great sign!
Re: preparing doggies
Yeah... my dogs totally know the difference between fake and real babies. It's still good to expose them to as much as possible!
