"Dog owners expecting a baby often have concerns. Can their dog adjust to not being their humans' one and only? Is it possible for a dog to love a new baby -- or at least tolerate the bundle of joy? The author has seen dog owners feel forced to choose baby over dog and has created a do-able twelve-step process to make this unnecessary. Do-able means that busy expectant parents can easily incorporate these practices pre-birth. Wombacher helps readers emphasize the dog's place in the "human pack" and preempt competition; resolve problems like barking, jumping up, and separation anxiety; and acknowledge behaviors that simply aren't compatible with a new baby. Ample how-to photos and an attractive paper-over-board format make this a guide as practical as it is gift-worthy."--From publisher's website. |
