dog and Baby Prep Program

Are you expecting? is your Dog ready for the new arrival?

Preparing your dog for the arrival of a new baby is an important step to ensure a smooth transition for both your furry friend and your growing family. Dogs can be sensitive to changes in their environment, so it's crucial to take proactive steps to help them adjust.

Lets start your dog off on the right Paw to meet baby!

Preparing your dog for the arrival of a new baby is important for several reasons:

  1. Safety: Ensuring your dog is prepared for the baby helps prevent potential accidents or incidents.

  2. Behavioral Adjustment: Dogs are creatures of habit, and they may become stressed or anxious when faced with significant changes in their routine or environment.

  3. Emotional Well-being: Dogs can have a range of emotional responses to the arrival of a new baby, including anxiety or resource guarding.

  4. Maintaining a Happy Home: A well-prepared dog is more likely to coexist harmoniously with a new baby.

  5. Preventing Behavioral Issues: Failure to prepare your dog for a new baby can lead to aggression, fear, or anxiety. Taking proactive steps can prevent these issues from arising.

  6. Positive Interactions: Preparing your dog for the baby can help create a positive association between the dog and the baby, fostering safe environment for both.

  7. Peace of Mind: Knowing that your dog is well-prepared for the baby's arrival can provide peace of mind for you as a parent. You can be more confident that your dog will behave appropriately and safely around the baby.
