In today's episode I'm going out on a limb here to make a grand statement about THE Biggest mistake dog moms make before adding a baby to their family. Listen to the episode to find out what it is...

The episode includes these topics:

  • we can't predict how our dog will feel once baby arrives if they live in a child free home now
  • you have not seen how your dog behaves when living full time with a baby, toddler or child in the house
  • you may not know how your dog will respond to receiving a LOT less attention than they do now
  • the dog might be frustrated at an ever changing schedule
  • the dog might become destructive out of boredom from lack of physical or mental stimulation while you focus on the new baby 
  • My upcoming FREE Bootcamp: Preventing Dog Jealousy - Pre-Baby Bootcamp in June

If you are expecting or adopting a baby and your dog was your "first baby," then this episode is for you. I'm thrilled to announce that I'm offering a free bootcamp on Preventing Dog Jealousy: Pre-baby Bootcamp.

In this bootcamp, we will talk about jealousy in dogs, what it looks like, and more importantly, how to prevent it. I know that bringing a new baby into the family can be stressful, especially when you have a furry friend who's used to being the center of attention. That's why I want to help you prepare your dog for the arrival of your new baby.

The bootcamp is completely free and will cover a variety of topics you need to know to prevent dog jealousy. We'll discuss how to introduce your dog to your baby, how to create a safe and comfortable environment for your dog, and how to manage jealousy if it arises. You'll also get a chance to ask any questions you may have about your specific situation.

The bootcamp is perfect for anyone who wants to ensure a smooth transition for their dog when the baby arrives. Whether you're a first-time parent or you're adding another baby to your family, this bootcamp is for you. You'll learn practical tips and strategies that you can start implementing right away.
