It also suggests, in one of the case studies, to 'yell loudly' at the dog to get it off the bed.I could yell at my dog, Molly all day and she wouldn't budge - and it would wake my baby!
This seems odd as the dog is going to be stressed enough when the baby arrives and any dog owner knows that consistency of routine helps dogs deal with stress. The book also gives strange advice at times too - like 'jumble and mix up your dog's routine right before the baby arrives'. Some of the information seems so simple it appears to have been obtained from Google. This book contains very basic information about preparing a dog for a new baby and unfortunately I was highly disappointed. If you wish to guide your pet through your pregnancy and help ensure a loving relationship between him and your new baby, And Baby Makes Four can show you how to be a leader to your dog while reinforcing his status within the family dynamic. The book also features an assortment of contemporary, eye-catching illustrations that highlight and define key information from the text. The chapters are arranged chronologically by trimester, continuing through childbirth and the arrival of the newborn baby, to help your dog adjust to changes in the home. Written by a behaviorist and mother, this useful guide helps to address specific pet behaviors that may concern parents-to-be, including possessiveness, jealousy, fear of new people and new situations, inappropriate jumping, and chewing on baby toys. And Baby Makes Four provides expecting parents with straightforward instructions on how to prepare the family dog for a new baby's arrival. However, if there is a pet in the household, there may be concern about how he will react to a newborn addition to the family. Having a baby should be an exciting and celebratory time for parents-to-be.
