So, our family is undergoing some major changes over the next couple months... Our first child is due in about 8 weeks and we just found out that we will be moving from MA to CT (probably within a week or two of the birth - I know, timing is no good, but we have to go for a job opportunity for DH). Obviously either of these changes is going to be potentially quite difficult for Wesley and I am looking for suggestions for how to make it as smoothe as possible...
By way of background, here are some of our more unique issues and a general idea of what we have done so far:
Wes, although he is not the easiest dog (he has some reactivity/aggression issues with strangers) has been well socialized to children (our trainer with whom he boards regularly has 3 young daughters with whom he has spent significant time). He has a solid "place" command, a pretty solid recall (which we are really working hard on proofing) and his "leave it" and "drop it" are getting there. We have and are continuing to work on him giving space when he is uncomfortable and looking to me for guidance rather than feeling like he might need to take matters into his own hands (or mouth). I am not overly concerned that he is going to have a problem with the baby as an infant because he is not a dog who approaches a human to start trouble - he is the type to react "innappropriately" when approached in a way that he finds threatening or makes him uncomfortable. I believe our real hurdle will be when the baby is mobile and at that point my life will become a big management project (he will NEVER be left alone with the baby, if my attention is not on both of them, they will simply not be together). I am ok with that and DH and our trainer will help. Thoughts on additional work we can do here?
Our other issue is that we will be moving very shortly after the baby is born. Wesley does not do well with crowds of guests and disruption of routine - so, when I deliver, he will go to his trainer and he will stay there for 2 weeks or so during which time the baby will come home, family will arrive and depart in droves, I will be incapable of doing much at all and somehow we will move ourselves to CT 
. The current plan is to have Wesley join us at the new house once we are in for a few days. The thinking here is that because he is best when his environment is managed and he has a set routine, it is probably better for him to come to the new home when we can have it set up as similarly as possible to his home now and when although it will be a new place with a new baby, we can immediately establish a new routine for him. Thoughts on this? I do think this is going to be the easiest way to do it - but since we have never moved him before, I am open to other opinions and would be glad to hear if I am overlooking something.
Lastly - I am pretty upset to have to be ripping Wesley away from his routine (he is just doing so well and I am so sorry to mess with it, especially when the baby is coming). I am looking for any and all suggestions for a good routine for a stay at home mom with a newborn to follow. Wesley is high energy and needs a lot of exercise - the problem, of course, is that until/unless I am able to find a very good handler who is dog savvy enough and not put off by Wesley's issues, it is going to be hard to get him out with anyone but me. The "good news" is that whatever professional help we need, we will get and I am happy to pay for Wesley to take classes, have weekly training sessions, learn a new skill or whatever - so long as I can get him there and I can do it and have an infant at the same time...
Sorry for the LOOOOONG post - I was trying to give as much info as possible... Any ideas or suggestions for things we can do before or after the big events to smoothe the way, are much appreciated!
