You prepare your home, your relationships, and yourself for the arrival of a new family member—so why not prepare your dog, too? Whether you're adopting, expecting a child, becoming a grandparent, or taking on a caregiver role, it's important to spend time getting your dog ready for these big changes as well!

Dogs & Babies is a parent education program for expecting families with dogs. It is designed to help you plan and prepare for baby’s arrival, specifically with your dog(s) in mind. Learn basic dog body language, how to handle the homecoming, critical safety tips and much more. While Dogs & Babies does not take the place of basic obedience training classes nor a childbirth preparation class, it brings the missing elements of each together in one place. Make sure to get off on the right foot, decrease stress and increase harmony in your home by preparing with Dogs & Babies.

Still not sure if this program is right for you? If you live with dogs and are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, a grandparent/aunt/uncle who has infants visit, a childcare provider, a childbirth educator, in the adoption process, or just care about infant & dog issues – this program is applicable and valuable. Even dog experts will be surprised by how much new information they’ll learn!
