Your dog will encounter a plethora of unfamiliar sights, sounds, and smells when you bring a new infant home. Some of them might distress the dog, particularly if they weren't able to interact with kids when they were a puppy.

Your schedule will vary significantly, and your dog's will as well. The dog may also receive less of your time and attention so they might be going through a tough moment, particularly if the dog has been the "only child" for some time.

So it's important to take your time getting your dog ready for the newest family addition so as to ensure that everything runs as smoothly as possible for everyone. OP's parents failed to do this and as a result, their dog started barking nonstop at the baby.

OP's parents have seen her baby multiple times, but this is the first time they have brought her to their house. OP's parents and her husband have always been friendly and respectful, but they've never been too fond of each other.

OP's parents have a dog who has never been around a small baby before, so they knew they had to be careful. OP's dad slowly walked the dog to them so they could introduce it to the baby and get everyone comfortable, but it turned out to be a disaster.

The dog was barking and the baby was crying, but OP's dad wanted to take the dog somewhere else, but he wouldn't. OP's husband swung into action, and you can read all about it below.

The OP writes

The dog started to sniff the baby and then seemed to lose interest quickly

They said that for the time being OP's husband is not welcome back in their home

The OP provided a summary for those who couldn't read the entire story

We were at my parents for dinner. Their dog snapped at, growled and barked at our 2 month old baby. This resulted in my husband grabbing the dog from my dad. My husband told them if the dog ever so much as scratched out baby he would break the dog's next. Parents still upset and told me husband no longer welcome in their home.

Let's head into the comments section and find out what other Redditors have to say

It should not be hard to pick

Mediating a relationship between both parties

The OP should have her husband's back

From a behavioural perspective

They decided to trust an animal

Some dogs are good with kids

They are totally in the wrong

The OP should buy the husband a beer

An accident can occur in an instant and it can result to a lifelong injury, and even death so it's not worth it. Simply put, OP's parents doesn't understand dogs as it is inappropriate for such a dog to be near a child.

Also, many Redditors pointed out that some dogs are easily scared of kids because they're not used to them so OP's parents shouldn't be trying to socialize him at this time.
