Dogs, babies and children and how to be sure they all get along

Dogs, babies and children

Having a new baby is an exciting and a scary time for Mum and Dad, only new parents can really know how precious that new baby is when you first bring them home, and no matter how loved your dog is, they now rank second in your affections to this new person in your life, coupled with the fact that all of our human instincts are to protect and keep this baby safe. Suddenly your family pet can seem very threatening to your family added to this is the guilt you are likely to be feeling at this change in loyalty!

The reality is that with some careful management and understanding this phase of your dog?s life can go reasonably smoothly.
