The one rule

Never leave your baby and your dog alone together. Either an adult is actively watching, or there's a gate, a door or a crate between them.

Questions

When should I start preparing my dog for a baby?

As early as possible. Many steps work best 4+ months before the due date, but every step helps, even in the last weeks.

Where is my data stored?

Only in your browser on this device. Nothing is sent to us and there's no account.

Is this a substitute for a trainer?

No. If your dog has growled, snapped or bitten a person, or guards things, work with a certified professional before the baby arrives.
