How do you acclimate your pet to having a new baby in the home?

Also how do you know what is safe in terms of your pet around a new baby?

The rest of the information is about our particular dog in case that information is relevant. No need to read it if it is not.

About our dog: We are new to dog owning (no experience as children etc..) and have had her now for about 1.5 years she is almost 2 years old and so far. She has a very even and kind temperament when it comes to being around children, strange adults, and other dogs. She is not so cool with cats, raccoons etc.. but i’ve never seen her do more than bark at them and chase them. We have her kinda trained. This means she knows a lot of commands and she responds to them only most of the time. When she doesn’t get enough excercise she tends not to respond. She is collie and aussie mix as far as we know. She has been a great pet so far and we love her as part of our family. We are currently expecting a baby in February.
