Trish Hernandez: Tots and Tails, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

Your first baby has four legs.

Now another one is on the way.

Bringing home a baby is life-changing - for you and for your dog. While most families focus on nursery prep and hospital bags, few know how to prepare the family member who may struggle the most with the transition.

In Tots and Tails, professional dog trainer Trish Hernandez guides parents step-by-step through preparing their dog for a life with a newborn, toddler, and beyond.

Inside you'll learn:

• How to recognize stress signals before they escalate.
• The difference between play, overexcitement, and aggression.
• How to introduce babies safely.
• Touch training to prevent accidental bites.
• Playground and toddler exposure training.
• Leave it and impulse control foundations.
• How to prevent resource guarding.
• Create safe routines for baby and dog.

With real-life stories, practical training frameworks, and honest insight from a mother who raised her son alongside her beloved dog Boris, this book is both a safety guide and a love letter to the dogs that help raise our children.

Preparation creates confidence.

Confidence creates safety.

Safety creates peace.
