Bring Baby Home with Peace of Mind

If you’re expecting a new baby in the next few months, or just had one and are concerned about the interaction between when you introduce your dog to your baby, then we can help!

With the Cribs and Canines training program, we’ll help you set things up in the home where you are in control and your dog will abide by boundaries, including those around the baby. We work on eliminating general issues your dog might already be exhibiting (ie: poor manners, lack of recall, hyperactivity, any form of aggression, etc.), and start equipping them with the right behaviors for when the baby arrives.

We’ll also help your dog with boundaries and safe spaces, we use tools like baby gates and crate to accomplish this. It’s so important to allow your dog a safe a quiet spot away from the baby. Dogs are not designed to have a baby in the house and have to be around them 24/7. Give our dog plenty of attention while also allowing them time away from the chaos. 

How Dogs Can Benefit From this Program?

Cribs and Canines will teach your dog how to act appropriately in real-life scenarios including your baby. Along with focus, recall, and impulse control exercises, we simulate situations that are directly related to your baby, such as the dog learning to heel next to a stroller, or going to their place when your baby is picked up to be held, adjusting to the new baby sounds and smells, etc.

Our professional dog trainer wants your dog and baby protected, and ready to start a happy relationship together. Any issues of potential jealousy over the baby, aggression over or toward the baby, or rambunctious and uncontrollable behavior near the baby will be targeted and eliminated through the Cribs and Canines training program! We’ll also make sure your as the dog owner understand how to advocate for your dog and allow the dog the time they need to adjust. 

We can help your dog get used to baby life before the baby is born and after you bring the baby home. This program is for any parent of a baby or childs, we know things get harder when your baby starts to crawl and get more mobile. Don’t hestitate to get started with training!
