He may think he is playing. Maggie will growl at me when we are playing "try to get me". If I take a sort of "big" stance towards her she will make little growly noises, but I know it is part of the game....she will dance away from me, then try to hold her ground for a second. It is quite funny. Maybe the puppy is "standing his ground" because he is intimidated by the baby. Sorry to say this, but probably not the best age to get a dog...
Others will have to chime in here, but I think that if you don't think it is going to work out it might be best to return the pup while he is still young enough to get adopted as a puppy and before he might learn anti-social, or anti-children behavior. I feel that giving up on him now won't make a big difference in his life, giving up on him in a few months might.
Good luck. |
