For years, dog trainer Michael Wombacher has assisted expecting dog owners in preparing their pets for the arrival of a new baby, aiming to prevent conflicts between dogs and children. Unfortunately, he has also seen many families surrender their beloved dogs because they were unprepared for this significant change. In his book "Good Dog, Happy Baby," Wombacher presents a 12-step process to equip families with the skills to manage this transition smoothly. The guide covers essential topics such as evaluating your dog’s temperament, addressing common behavioural issues, and thoroughly preparing your pet for life with a newborn. Featuring clear instructions and helpful photographs, this accessible resource is suitable for any expecting family with a dog—regardless of whether the pet is well-trained or requires significant behavioural support.
