And dogs, like people, have their limits.

Please note: Dog Meets Baby courses do not address serious behavioral issues, such as resource guarding, separation anxiety, or aggression. For support for these concerns, please consult with a certified trainer.
You don't have to be a dog expert to train your dog. (You just have to know one.)
The Pre-Mobile Course is for parents/caregivers of babies who are becoming more mobile and more interested in dogs. It is for 4 month-old babies up to 10 months (babies who have recently started crawling).
We recommend getting both courses if your baby is a recent crawler and/or your dog has been struggling with your baby's mobility.
The content of the courses differ.
The Pre-Mobile Baby Course primarily focuses on preparing your dog and your home for your mobile baby; and serves as a foundational course in that regard. We generally recommend purchasing both courses, especially if you have a newly mobile baby. If you have an older toddler, the Mobile Baby Course would be more suitable. The Mobile Baby Course includes a workbook and 5 of the videos from the Pre-Mobile Baby Course to provide a foundation for the essential basics first.
Start with the Pre-Mobile Baby Course. Or you could enroll in both courses right away to take advantage of the discount and be prepared in case your baby skips crawling or reaches the new milestone of walking shortly after crawling.
Dog Meets Baby courses don't provide guidance on these situations, as they must be addressed one-on-one with a trainer. The courses will help you build a foundation for keeping your baby and your dog safe, but they don’t cover aggressive behaviors toward babies and toddlers. Learn how to find a qualified trainer here.
The course is includes about 2 hours of video content from start to finish. Most lessons are well under 10 minutes. The course is designed to be completed at a pace that works for you.
The Mobile Baby Course is for parents/caregivers of children who are “on the go” and can access the dog. 11-month-old babies – 48-month-old toddlers.
The mobile baby course is the perfect course for parents with walking babies. However, we recommend getting both courses if your dog has been struggling with your baby's mobility. The Pre-Mobile Baby Course covers foundational training and setups designed to help your dog navigate this transition more smoothly.
The Mobile Baby Course. We recommend reading the Pre-Mobile Baby workbook, which we’ve included in the Mobile Baby Course, to ensure you have the foundations covered. We have also added 5 videos from the Pre-Mobile Baby Course. If you prefer watching the modules from the Pre-mobile Baby Course rather than reading the written text (workbook), then getting both courses is the way to go
