im glad the advice i gave was what you were looking for.

i know a few people who read this and thought
"thats crazy! my dog was around mt baby from teh second it came home! lieing beside him/her at 5 days old on the couch! never hurt her!"
i beilive you, im sure your dog was great with your new baby some dogs are some dogs never get the oppertunity to feel thretend by a baby or a toddlar, great thats awsome! but sometimes, some dogs are very subtle about there dominance tendencys, my dog Cesar tries to take control by pushing into you and making you step back he would act like he was ignoreing you or he would act sweet about it and push against you, the longer we let him do that the more and more he did it and then one day my mom was going down the stairs and he tried to push into her so she pushed back and he jumped at her as if to say "uh, no you cant do that me" after that i realized what he was doing and never allowed it to happen again, since then we can push him out of our way if need be and hes fine with it.

and you know, your dog is young is still,20 weeks old so i doubt he has begun his "teenager, stubborn faze" where hes gonna try his hardest to test you and hes going to already have an idea on what works to get his own way and what doesnt. his teenager faze could be very mild and might only show itself with a raise in energy and a bit of extra stubborness or he could be a real butt-hole and make you wanna strangle him with your bare hands lol

but like i said its better to be safe then sorry, even if Cesar were 12 years old and i knew him thru and thru i STILL would do the above with him before i had a baby.
