Dog training for parents with babies or toddlers

Your dog has always been your first baby, and now you've got a human baby joining the family. It's an exciting time! Are you wondering how to keep your dog happy when your baby arrives? Do you have a baby who is starting to crawl or walk and making your dog uncomfortable? Are there behaviors your dog does that you'd like to change before baby arrives? Would you like to help your dog learn how to get along with your baby and build a lasting bond your whole family can enjoy?

Woof! San Diego’s owner, Erin Vejar, specializes in dog and baby dynamics. She's a licensed educator with Family Paws Parent Education and frequently works with parents to prepare their dogs for life with a baby, or to change existing dog and baby dynamics when things might not be going as smoothly as you would like.
