Your Dog and Baby: Dog and Baby Consultant

Parenting a baby with a family dog can be challenging, and many parents are surprised at their dog’s reaction to their baby. Some dogs are nervous and afraid, others are intensely curious and rough with the baby, and these reactions can create a great deal of stress for parents. Your Dog and Baby provides specialized guidance, support and proven solutions for families, leading to a safe, positive relationship between dog and baby.

I’m Jane, former psychiatric nurse and, for the last 25 years, dog trainer. In both professions I've worked with families with children, and I now offer specialized help for families with dogs and babies, so that parents can safely and confidently raise their baby around the family dog.

Using positive-reinforcement methods, Your Dog and Baby offers:

* A plan for getting the family dog ready for a new baby

* Safely introducing dog and newborn

* Managing the dog during key areas of baby care: feeding, tummy

time, safe sleeping arrangements and more

* Maintaining a calm home with a dog and a crawling baby or toddler

Help in these areas supports parents, reduces their stress, and gives them confidence in managing their dog and baby.

Your Dog and Baby offers online consults anywhere in the world; a limited number of in-person consults in clients' homes are available in my service area: Berkeley, Oakland and surrounding areas in the East Bay.

I offer a free, friendly 30-minute Zoom introductory meeting, available on my website, plus a free Ebook called Create Harmony at Home: Five Tips for Raising Babies and Dogs Together. https://www.yourdogandbaby.com/5tips
