So, you're having a baby...

by owner/trainer Renée Lamoureux

Dog meeting baby

Congratulations! Do you already have a dog in your life and have a due date set for a new family member? Follow Me Dog Training LLC offers a program for the expecting family. So much will be changing in your world as you prepare for the next 9 months later, to bring a new baby into your home. These changes can cause stress on your dog and you may notice some behavior changes. It is so much easier to be prepared!

I have had many clients ask me what the best way to introduce an established dog and new dog so there are as few problems as possible? With provided checklists, we will give you a list of things you can do before you have your baby as well as things you can do after your baby is born to make life less stressful. Best of all Renée will give you the BEST way to introduce your baby to your dog when you come home from the hospital. Renée suggest setting up this consultation at least a month (but preferably 2-4 months) before your due date.

"Renee's training was invaluable in helping us introduce a 2 legged child into our pack."

The dogs have been great for the most part, they are still extremely gentle with the kids (now almost 6 months old!), though they do like to sneak by and get a light kiss in...which makes Pierce giggle uncontrollably. Gillian just smiles. Both my children are now aware of the dogs, and if I have them on my lap and Bish or Rip sitting nearby, they'll reach out to pet them on the nose, which the dogs are very receptive to. I couldn't be happier with the relationship forming between my children and the dogs, and can't imagine what the alternative would have been if I hadn't never reached out to you for help.
