3 Critical Safety Basics to Start Now
While you wait for your complete guide, here are the most essential safety tips:
Tip #1
Master "Leave It" Command
This is your most important safety command. Practice until your dog reliably drops anything and backs away when you say "leave it"—this could prevent dangerous situations with baby items.
Tip #2
Create Safe Spaces NOW
Designate and enforce baby-only zones before baby arrives. Your dog needs to understand these boundaries when the stakes are low, not when you're holding a newborn.
Tip #3
Practice Calm Greetings
Jumping and excitement need to be completely eliminated before baby comes home. Start now: only calm dogs get attention and affection.
