There isn't much you can really do. We have two dogs - the purebred black lab in that photo and also a Lab x Border Collie. My husband took home a wet diaper from the hospital so that they could get used to the baby smell. The lab is really curious about the baby and always comes to investigate. The cross puppy doesn't want to have anything to do with her and was also a bit funny with me when I got home - he didn't want to have much to do with me. But he is slowly getting better. They are very gentle with her - it's sweet.
