Triss is 2 years old. Never EVER been aggressive towards anything, except a little dominant over our doxie. She stays in a 4x4 Xpen for much of the day. She gets outside often, walk once a day, and supervised playtime when baby is out. After baby is in bed, she gets free roam of the house.

She also is beginning to growl when the baby gets close to the pen. Please help.

It sounds like a little jealousy to me to, my little Rain men may he rest in peace. he is 6 weeks older then our youngest son is when our son came home we made Rain feel like that was his baby just not ours. now I’m not prefect but we wanted our 4 legged family to love our kids as much as we do and to see them as part of the family, so we would take one of our sons blankets after he had it for a week or 2 and then let rain sleep on it, then we would let him set in the car seat after our son got out, so the smell was still there, then we would hold Rain and our son together in our laps and so on, as you can see from my picture albums Rain loved our son. Other family members would say you shouldn’t let that dog up there with the baby but it ended up being the best thing we could have done, when we went on walks Rain would ride in the stroller with our son, our son and Rain had a bond that you would not believe he could do anything to Rain and Rain would lay right there never ever show any type of aggression. I use to say that instead of rain being my son’s dog, my son was Rains Human baby. Rain past away almost 2 weeks ago and my son is still waiting on him and looking for him. it’s a sad time right now but keep it up let your Fur baby know that the new baby is her baby to, don’t give up keep trying and trying give triss one of his blankets to sleep on and make the baby a part of her life just as much as she is a part of yours. She will get it sooner or later but don’t give up on her yet.
I know this is long but I have faith in you and Triss.
I hope this helps
