Dog Training for New Parents
Infants and Dogs: Dog Training for New Parents in Phoenix
Are you an expecting parent that is concerned about how your pup is going to react when you bring your baby home? Or are you a parent that is already struggling with your dog’s poor habits and bad behaviors toward your baby or child? At Valley of the Sun Dog Training, we understand that some dogs may not bode well with a new pack member in the home, and that includes a new baby!
With all the changes a new baby brings to the home, this could have different effects on your dog. For instance, with all the time and attention being spent on the new baby, how will your dog respond to this dramatic change? Will they get more demanding, anxious, nervous, or even aggressive over alll of the new baby sounds and smells? These are all possibilities, and many expecting parents are not willing to take these risks with their dog and baby in the same home.
Our cribs and canines program is ideal for the parents of newborn babies, infants and toddler parents.
Teach Your Dog Good Manners Before the Baby Arrives
The Cribs and Canines expecting parent training program is designed to train and prepare your dog for the arrival of your new bundle of joy, both before and after your baby is born! Our professional dog trainer will give you as owners/parents the tools you need to stay consistent with scheduling, boundaries, rewards, and proper bonding between your dog and your baby. We’ll also create real-life scenarios for your dog that are specific toward the presence of a baby, such as walking with a stroller or going to their place whenever the baby is picked up by you.
Through this, we’ll establish a regimen that both you and your pet can follow, and this will also allow your dog to becomes gradually socialized and desensitized to your new baby! Not only will our trainer help you introduce your dog when the baby comes home, we’ll talk to you about when to allow your dog to sniff the baby and investigate the baby in a safe manner.
Basic Obedience & Boundaries for Babies and Dogs
Our training program not only covers teaching safe boundaries, but we will also train your dog on basic obedience and good manners. Leash walking, place, impulse control, focus, crate training so much more. We’ll make sure your dog is getting plenty of attention and will be well-mannered both inside and outside of your home.
Through the use of baby gates and other tools we create safe boundaries and allow the dog time away from the baby and the chaos that can bring. When you have a baby in the house with a dog, it’s critical to keep them safe around eachother. NEVER allow your dog around a baby unsupervised – this is dangerous for both your dog and baby.
