Introducing a Baby to a Dog and Addressing Lifting Behaviors

Graeme Hall gets a voice note from a listener who’s expecting a baby very soon; he wonders how he should prepare his Labrador for the new arrival. Graeme explains how to get the dog used to the idea in advance, as well as how to introduce her to the baby for the first time. Plus how should you train children to be good with dogs? What is it they need to understand about how to approach dogs, and how to make sure they’re sending the dog the same signals as the rest of the family? Do you have a question for The Dogfather? Send Graeme a voice note and a video of your pesky pooch to talkingdogs@avalonuk.com.
