Fable 2 Getting Dog Back

View:

Preparing a dog for the arrival of a newborn into the family is done with the same care and attention that a parent gives to help children understand that a new sibling will be joining the family. Bringing a newborn into the home will be a major change for your dog and can result in the dog becoming quite stressed if he is not well prepared.

Dogs that are have a free run of your house will need re-educating before your newborn comes home. Changing your dogs habits before your baby arrives will avoid hassles in the long term. You will need a few months to prepare your dog for your baby's arrival so start as early as possible.

There are a number of ways to prepare your dog for your baby's arrival. Most importantly deal with any training or behavior problems. You will not have time to do this once your new baby comes home and you want to ensure the safety of your child. Train your dog to obey commands such as sit, come and stay and address any issues of fear or anxiety that your dog exhibits. A good idea is to train your dog to sit calmly on the floor beside you until you invite him onto your lap.

To get your dog familiar with the sounds and smells of a baby try and borrow a baby or invite friends over with infants to accustom your dog to the real sounds and smells of a baby. Make this experience positive for your dog by offering a treat or playtime.

Gradually introduce more sounds and smells of a baby into your home on a regular basis. You can do this by playing recordings of a baby crying or gurgling. You could also put some baby powder or oil on your hands to accustom your dog to the new smells. Do this gradually and regularly in the months preceding your newborn's arrival. You can also use a baby doll to help your dog get use to the real thing, carry it around, take it for a walk in a pram with your dog, pretend to change it and bath it.

Once the baby is born and before you bring the baby home, take home a blanket or clothing that the baby has been in for your dog to investigate. Try to speak positively to your dog when the baby is around, and avoid negative tones. This is to ensure that your dog connects happy feelings while being in the presence of the baby. Always supervise any interactions between your new baby and your dog.

Fable 2 Getting Dog Back

It sounds like a strange concept, but getting a dog can actually help to improve your child's behavior. All children love puppies. When I was young, I begged my parents to get a dog, and they of course gave in and got one. Few children think about the responsibility part of having a dog, especially a puppy.

Let's talk a bit about how a new puppy can help your child. If they have behavior problems, it is possible that it is due to the lack of a creative outlet. Even if this is not so, it still can help them develop discipline, and good habits.

As was already stated, a dog involves responsibility. Children usually do not know what is involved when it comes to caring for a dog. This is a great way to teach your child how to care for a pet. Your child will not have the luxury of being irresponsible anymore. They will need to know the consequences of neglecting their new dog. This is especially true if they are a new puppy.

Neglecting their duties to take the dog potty can lead to a mess to clean up. Tending to the needs of their new dog causes them to develop and mature because that new dog depends on them. The result of this will be that your child will see the benefit of their care and love towards their companion.

If they are the only child in the family, this will give them the assurance that you are a fair parent. Also, you will show them that good behavior is rewarded when you reward the dog for doing well as you reward your child for their good deeds.

The same goes for getting a reward for good behavior. When the dog does something well like learn a new trick, or successfully go to the door to let you know they have to go potty you should reward them. In like manner, you should reward your child for their good behavior and accomplishments. Then your child will see that good behavior reaps good consequences as well.

In this way, your child will understand that consequences affect everybody due to the choices we make. Young children sometimes feel like they are the only ones that get into trouble when they do something they are not supposed to. In this way they will see that they are being treated fairly when they are disciplined for their actions. This will help them to grow up to be responsible and mature adults.
