Jack Russel & expected baby

    2 years ago we got a beautiful Jack Russel 6 year old bitch. She is very quite and patient with our two 5 year olds. Never has she shown any aggression with anyone despite having just cause with the children.

    Her only vice up to a few months ago was cats. In their company she becomes extremely aggresive - heart pounding - very attentive. So no cats around our rural house.

    Recently a mum came into our house with a new born baby. The normally placid Jack Russell showed very similar behaviours to the aggresive behaviour she shows with cats. Mind you it is unlikely she ever previously came into contact with a new born baby.

    We are expecting our own new born in the next few weeks. What should we do - wait and see or find a new home for her ASAP or try some behaviour changing training.

    Thanks in advance for advice

    would second what Guineapigrescue said get a trainer in who will focus on your home your dog and your dog's issues which require a solution. there is no need to rehome your dog if you have the time energy and love for your dog to get some training, but do it asap don't leave it any longer, so that you have plenty of time to put the training into practice before the baby arrives
