How to Introduce Dogs to Newborn Baby

Показать описание

Introducing your dog or puppy to a new born baby is probably a big concern to you. It should be. Way too many people make many common mistakes and that puts both the dog and baby at risk. Dogs play very differently than humans and their style of play can be VERY dangerous to babies and small children. Your dog plays, engages and communicates with his or her teeth and that can be very dangerous to young children.

I've talked about this for years, but only recently had to opportunity to make this video since my friends Yossi and Vera just had a beautiful baby boy. In this short video I give you 9 tips to safely introducing your dog / puppy to your new baby. I seriously hope that everyone with a child will watch this, share it and learn from it. I've heard and seen too many bad stories in which children were hurt or disfigured and inevitably the dog will pay the ultimate price. It doesn't have to be like this. Dogs can live with children, toddlers and babies very well. They rely on the structure from you, the humans, to make that happen. In this short video I'll give you a lot of information to help you how to keep your dog and children safe.

Watch this video and share it with everyone, hopefully before they ever need the info.

5:20 "Let's ignore him and see what happens." The well-trained dog looks at everyone for direction. Getting none, he decides to chill in his good place. Great! Throughout the whole video, this dog exhibits the results of good training. Great video!

I could see him air sniffing towards the baby. He absolutely knows what it is and it's there!

I’d like to see an update on this for when baby starts being mobile. How boundaries are established then. Thanks!

Robert is my favorite Dog trainer on youtube to watch, I have a belgian shephard tervuren so I feel he is the main man who understands this type of breed .Thank you Robert.

This is exactly how I raise my dogs. People thought I was cruel with this technique, but it never steered us wrong. My dogs are exactly that; my dogs.
I just introduced my dog Rocco to his offspring, I couldn't be more proud of the fella😊

No kids are allowed to touch my dog. Never worth the risk in my opinion. Great video Robert. Thank you all : )

Unbelievably timely video: Our second grandchild is due today, and we pick up our new puppy (Stabyhoun) this coming Wednesday. We are part of the childcare rotation and have wondered about training our puppy in this setting. Thanks so much Robert!!

Every dog is different, bottom line, don’t think just because you have the best dog in the world can cause severe damage, my favorite dog in the world went ballistic after crying, he was only confused. Very good information, hopefully people listen.

Thanks for making this video. People can be insane with their furkids v new babies' safety.

Online forum years ago, guy looking for advice, says dog broke out of crate, then broke down a door to get into room with newborn baby, first day baby was home and crying. If wife had been there alone who knows what might have happened, but he grabs dog, dog redirects and bites him badly, but he has it and drags it from the room. This was a large, powerful breed with the genetics to be aggressive. He REFUSES to immediately take dog to place of safety for the baby and insists it stays in the house until he can board it. You know - the house it had battered a door down to get to the baby, after it broke out of a crate. So, after suggesting a trip to the vet was making him hostile, I said at least have keep many shut - unbroken - doors between them as you can, and put a soft muzzle on the dog - you don't have one then make one with whatever you have to hand, so it can't open it's mouth. It doesn't need to drink or eat until you get it to a place of safety (for the baby) the next day. Also bear in mind ramming the baby muzzled can easily kill the baby too. ITS A NEWBORN BABY. TAKE THE DOG TO THE 24 HOUR VET TO 'BOARD'

Apparently, the forum agreed muzzling the dog at all would be 'cruel' To the dog. And it would get used to the baby in time - just a little sniff when it had calmed down. Jesus! I would suspect a brain tumour from such an adverse reaction from a dog and I was half 'this is a prank' to ' I need to contact child services in whatever country the guy lives in (I didn't know)).

As usual a clear, concise, sensible and extremely useful video from Robert Cabral.

Thank you

I am relieved to watch this and hope many others do also. I am a grandmother and cringe when so many new parents have the dog all over the new infant.
