In today’s episode I’m going out on a limb here to make a grand statement about THE Biggest mistake dog moms make before adding a baby to their family…and what to do about it.
Drumroll please….The biggest mistake is:
Assuming their dog won’t feel or behave any differently when baby arrives than they do now.
Topics on this episode include:
- we can’t predict how our dog will feel once baby arrives if they live in a child free home now
- you have not seen how your dog behaves when living full time with a baby, toddler or child in the house
- you may not know how your dog will respond to receiving a LOT less attention than they do now
- the dog might be frustrated at an ever changing schedule
- the dog might become destructive out of boredom from lack of physical or mental stimulation while you focus on the new baby
- Announcing my new FREE BOOTCAMP: Preventing Dog Jealousy – Pre-Baby Bootcamp

Worried Your Dog will be Jealous of your New Baby?
If you are a dog mom expecting or adopting a baby and your dog was your “first baby,” then I have special news for you: I’m thrilled to announce that I’m offering a free bootcamp on Preventing Dog Jealousy: Pre-baby Bootcamp, starting in June!
In this bootcamp, we will talk about jealousy in dogs, what it looks like, and more importantly, how to prevent it. I know that bringing a new baby into the family can be stressful, especially when you have a furry friend who’s used to being the center of attention. That’s why I want to help you prepare your dog for the arrival of your new baby.
The bootcamp is completely free and will cover a variety of topics dog moms need to know to prevent dog jealousy. We’ll discuss how to introduce your dog to your baby, how to create a safe and comfortable environment for your dog, and how to manage jealousy if it arises. You’ll also get a chance to ask any questions you may have about your specific situation.
The bootcamp is perfect for dog moms who want to ensure a smooth transition for their dog when the baby arrives. Whether you’re a first-time parent or you’re adding another baby to your family, this bootcamp is for you. You’ll learn practical tips and strategies that you can start implementing right away.
So, how can you sign up for this free bootcamp? Simply visit https://poochparenting.net/jealousy/. The fun begins in June, so sign up now.
