In today’s episode of The Pooch Parenting Podcast, I’m responding to a concern faced by one of my students. She signed up for my Parenting Toddlers and Dogs online class after her dog growled at her toddler. Most baby books don’t prepare parents for incidents like these, and it’s often quite shocking when your “first baby” (your dog!) growls at your child! Luckily, you’ve got me – I am here to tell you what’s not in most baby books, especially if your dog came first.
Topics on this episode include:
- what parenting and baby books don’t tell you
- dog growling at toddler
- toddler development
- how to prevent dogs from feeling unsafe around toddlers
- The ABC’s of Growling – How to Understand and Respond to Your Dog
- Dogs and Toddlers – online class or a consultation with me

Do you have a question you’d like me to answer on the Pooch Parenting Podcast?
I love to answer listener questions on the podcast. If you’d like your question answered, please record it (like a voicemail!) here. I’ll do my best to include it in a future episode.
p.s. If you are a dog pro who wishes you had a little more confidence with clients who are adopting or expecting kids or who have children already, get on the waitlist for The Pooch Parenting Coach Collective. It’s a supportive membership for dog professionals that offers live zooms, made-for-you handouts to give to clients with kids, and an interactive Facebook group.
