What's the most important thing to train?
What's the most important thing to train?
The most important thing to train is practicing all the routines you’ll have with your new baby using a baby doll before your little one arrives.
Treat the doll as if it were your real baby in every situation. Teach your dog where they should be during feeding, playing, or bathing times, and take walks with the baby carriage alongside your dog.
By learning and practicing these new skills now, you’ll ensure that your dog is well-prepared, allowing you to fully focus on your baby’s first moments without worry.

What's the real go to move?
What's the real go to move?
The real go-to move is to teach your dog to go to their bed or crate on command.
This provides your dog with a safe and comfortable space where they can relax, especially during times when you need to focus on your baby.
By establishing this habit early, your dog will learn to associate their bed or crate with a positive, calm environment, helping to prevent any unwanted behaviors and ensuring that both your dog and baby can coexist peacefully in your home.

What about Jealousy?
What about Jealousy?
Jealousy can be a concern when introducing a new baby to your home, but with the right preparation, it can be managed effectively.
Start by gradually acclimating your dog to the changes before your baby arrives. Include your dog in the new routines, like walking with the stroller or practicing feeding and playtime with a baby doll.
Ensure your dog has their own space and gets attention and affection, reinforcing that they are still a valued member of the family.
Consistent training and positive reinforcement will help your dog adjust to the new family dynamic, minimizing feelings of jealousy and ensuring a smooth transition.
