Preparing your dog for a new baby in the home

Begin to prepare your dog as soon as you are aware that there is going to be a new baby in the house. The more time you spend on training your dog and helping him to adjust to the changes that are coming, the easier the whole process will be.

• Let your midwife know that you have a dog and discuss this information as part of your preparation.

• Do not leave this preparation until the new baby arrives, as it is important that your dog associates the new baby with as few disruptions and changes to his routine as possible.
