Everything You Need for Baby and Dog—All in One Place
Bringing a dog into a family with young children—or helping your dog adjust to a new baby—takes more than just love and good intentions. Our Kids & the Family Dog Course equips parents with everything they need to confidently manage child-dog interactions, from choosing the right dog (adopt or breeder?) to understanding breed behaviors, confinement techniques, and the financial commitment of pet ownership. We’ll help you navigate dog training, housetraining, play biting, barking, and tethering—as well as common household challenges like jumping and pulling. You’ll learn how to spot red flag behaviors, prepare your home for both baby and dog, and explore real-life lessons from families who’ve done it.
