My dog is fine around children. Why do I need Tell Your Dog You’re Pregnant?
Many dog owners believe that their dog will be fine with a new baby as their dog had been around kids their whole life, or a friend had a baby and their dog just ‘kept away from the baby’. As outlined in the book, avoidance can be an early warning sign of a problem in the relationship between your dog and a new baby. Tell Your Dog You’re Pregnant will educate you on canine body language and highlight early warning signs that there could be a problem. There are many other changes in the household that occur other than the appearance of a new baby. Tell Your Dog You’re Pregnant discusses these and informs you how to handle these changes so as not to upset your dog.

Yes it will. All dogs need to prepared for the pending arrival. The book has a dedicated section discussing how to handle 2 or more dogs.
Can’t I just play a recording of a baby crying to my dog?
Just playing one sound to your dog can actually make their response to your newborn baby worse!

Babies make numerous sounds depending on the activity. Some of the 13 sounds included on the CD are laughing, grunting, playing, feeding and bathing as well as toy noises. You are much more likely to develop a harmonious relationship between your baby and dog by using Tell Your Dog You’re Pregnant.
