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.
Included in the episode
- 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
