Life is always on the move and your dog’s training should be too!
We are turning the page and beginning a new chapter with our own dogs and that means their training will adjust and change accordingly to life.
It’s time to prep these pups for a new baby.
Now even though Lola and Tumbles have gone thru this process once before, it’s been almost 9 years. They will learn along with Sissy and Tommy all about a new baby. This means new smells, noises, human behaviors, and more. The schedule gets crazy, they may get less attention for a bit, and dinner may occasionally come late BUT these are all things we can help them adjust too before baby even arrives.
For my dogs, this meant that everyone now sleeps in the living room rather than our bedroom where baby will sleep. At night, a gate goes up to and their dog beds come out so that it’s clear where I want them to sleep. We have also built and introduced them to all the new baby gear and encouraged them to keep their distance. It is not meant for them, especially once a baby is using it. This will help keep baby safe.
The goal for our family is that the dogs learn boundaries that keep the new baby safe. This also helps ensure that the dogs do not become isolated from family routines and activities due to their behavior. We are one big family after all!
