Canines and Kids Corner

Bringing a new baby into the household is exciting but can be stressful, especially if you are concerned with your dog’s ability to handle change. Let us help calm your nerves. As a member of Family Paws Parent Education, we have the tools to help bring you piece of mind.

We can:

Prepare your dog for changes in the house (baby crying, new smells and sounds, toys and bassinets)
Create a cozy and safe space your dog enjoys while you tend to the baby
Show you how to nurture the bond between your pup and new baby

Instruct your children on proper ways to say hello to your pup
Develop a series of safe, child appropriate games to play with your dog
