the only thing i can think of is dogs with kids, id get used to walking them with the pram. you know so they learn where the wheels are and not to get under them, or to pull the buggy when the baby is in it. its definately safer when there is no baby to start off with!
also maybe try holding a doll, and doing other things around the house and the dogs with the doll in your arms so they get used to you having something in your arms that may make a noise they find interesting. maybe getting them used to quiet time, or staying away from a baby mat on the floor...
just suggestions, i dont have kids, but on a few of the programs ive seen these have always been things that have been done.
congratulations

Is it jealousy you are worried about or your dog biting etc?
My niece is due in April and I loaned her my daughters crying/laughing doll. She has been walking around the house with it and placing it in the pram etc and getting her one ESS used to the noises etc.
Thinking back we never worried what Holly (RIP) was going to be like when our daughter was born and thankfully she was ok as we still gave her time to play and walk her and give her chews etc.

My advise would be to not worry
People make such a huge drama out of preparing the dog etc when 9 times out of 10 they are worrying needlessly. I have brought all my babies into the house with no fuss or drama and the dogs have had a quick sniff and that has been that

Do you have specific concerns regarding the one dog??
My dog was/is fab with both my kids and just accepted it both occassions and we did nothing special.
Congrats and hope pregnancy all goes well
