Pop star Fergie and her husband Josh Duhamel are making sure their dachshund is prepared for their new baby by hiring America's top dog expert to talk her through the process.

The Black Eyed Peas star is due to give birth within days and after planning the nursery and making sure the baby dash to the hospital is scheduled, she and husband Duhamel made time for their pooch.

The couple invited The Dog Whisperer Cesar Millan into their home and then posted a picture of themselves posing with the reality Tv star on Instagram.com.

New mum-to-be Fergie added the caption: "@joshduhamel & I getting our doggie daughter ready for her new brother with @cesarmillan."
