Dogstown Universtiy knows that whether you are adopting a baby or bringing your baby home from the hospital it is an exciting time. But there could be a problem lurking if you have not taken the time to prepare the "canine kid" for the baby's arrival. This is especially important when your pooch has been "top dog" up to now. By taking the time, being patient, consistent and following some simple guidelines you can make this union less traumatic and a smooth transition for the entire family.
We have put together a comprehensive program that entails both "in home" and "in board" training. The program will work with the expectant or adoptive families prior to the arrival of the baby, during the hospital stay and when the mom and baby come home. During this time we will educate the family on the do's and don'ts of introducing your dog to your newborn as well as preparing the dog for what is expected of him.
Growing up with animals can give children some of the most positive lessons life has to offer, from self-respect and self-control to sharing, caring and the experience of unconditional love. With careful planning and monitoring Canines and Cradles will be instrumental in making the introduction of your "new pack member" successful and rewarding for all.
Program Cost: $800*
