Prepare Your Dog for a New Baby

Back

Are you expecting a baby? If so, you will probably be busy preparing yourself and your home for the new arrival, but have you thought about how your dog will react to a new baby?

Dogs will usually learn to live very happily with a baby, but the arrival of a newborn can be quite stressful for them. Just as your routine and lifestyle will be changed by the birth of your first child, so will your dog’s. You may have less time available to spend with your dog, and he will have to get used to sharing you with someone else. He will also need to learn how to behave appropriately with the baby in order to keep them both safe.

Just a small amount of preparation prior to the birth can go a long way towards preparing your dog for the baby’s birth. We can help you with this by discussing some simple ways to prepare your dog, and also advise you on any specific concerns that you may have about your dog’s behaviour.

We take on clients from all over the UK, as the session can be done via video call. We also offer home visits to clients who live in Dunstable, Harpenden, St. Albans, Hemel Hempstead, and the surrounding villages.

The session will usually last one hour but can be longer if requested. Video sessions will be charged at £45 per hour. Home visits will be charged at £55 per hour. Travel costs may apply in some cases.
