8 year old dog snaps and baby! How to change this?

I have had Puppy my 8 year old lab mix since he was 10 weeks old. He has never really liked children. In the pass when they jump and climb on him he would just get up and move away. Now he snapes or %26quot;worning snaps%26quot; not trying to get them just a %26quot;hey back off%26quot;. I now have an 8 month old son who is going on his own and thinks puppy is so cool. My son is to young to understand but what can I do with puppy?8 year old dog snaps and baby! How to change this?
sell it,you don't need something that will harm your kid in your house.8 year old dog snaps and baby! How to change this?
Puppy and the baby both can use some training classes.......I'm sure at those ages both of them understand the word %26quot;NO%26quot;........especially the dog. Children even at a very young age should be taught to be gentle with animals of all kinds. It's not a difficult thing to do.8 year old dog snaps and baby! How to change this?
This dog is now 8 years old and his unacceptable behaviour is set. This dog needed to be trained, socialized and disciplined 8 years ago. The only thing you can do now to keep your son safe is keep this dog totally away from him because you aren't going to be able to change the dog.



If you now want to try to train this dog, hire a professional - you can't do it on your own.8 year old dog snaps and baby! How to change this?
Make a big fuss of your dog when the baby is around and give him treats however never leave it alone with the baby. Do not let the baby poke the dog or pull it's ears or the dog will be frightened. If the baby does not do this and your dog still gives %26quot;warning snaps%26quot;, use a plastic bottle with a trigger and squirt the dog in the face . This is a harsh treatment and I would only use this in extreme cases.8 year old dog snaps and baby! How to change this?
your puppy has never been trained to be around children, didn't like them but got pregnant anyway. you will have to train baby to leave puppy alone and train puppy to leave baby alone. or you will have to get rid of one of them.8 year old dog snaps and baby! How to change this?
My advice to you: Stay with the dog all the time. If you can't be with the dog, keep you son away from it. Labs can do just as much damage as other dogs. Not really sure how you'd resolve this problem. Just prevent it.8 year old dog snaps and baby! How to change this?
Your dog has lacked the correct training, the question you have to ask yourself is, how many times have you heard or read of dogs causing serious damage to children in the home. Then look at your son and see if you're prepared to put him at risk.
