Choose Your Course

Bringing home a baby is a big change for a dog. The bigger adjustment happens when that baby goes mobile. 

Even if your dog seemed completely at ease with your baby at first, they may now have a hard time with all the rolling, sitting up, staring, reaching, crawling…

And dogs, like people, have their limits.

Our dog has always been so patient with our one year old, but now that the baby is mobile, our pup is definitely starting to get a little bit more anxious/stressed. Thanks to you, though, we know how to keep everyone safe. Thanks for showing us all the signs of stress that weren't obvious before!

Sarah S.F.

I have the world's most patient, lovely, old dog and I'm so glad I can read his signs and make sure he's comfortable at all times. He doesn't deserve to be stressed by my child.

Pamela L.

I can never unsee so many stressed dogs around kids now, and I'm glad I'm able to interpret better what's going on and set appropriate boundaries.

Charlie

We just got two rescues, one of whom is pretty fearful of men, and [your content] has been helpful to observe as he interacts with my boyfriend and we try to rehab his behavior!

Marie C.

... so helpful to have the tools and better awareness for our dogs' needs, as well as interactions, with our son. It has made my Momma heart happy to know everyone is doing okay with each other!

Michelle

Pup- and people-approved.

Common Questions

Pre-Mobile Baby Course
Who is the Pre-Mobile Baby course for?

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).

If my baby is 8 months old and crawling which course should I get?

We recommend getting both courses if your baby is a recent crawler and/or your dog has been struggling with your baby's mobility.

Is the Pre-Mobile Baby course the prerequisite to take the Mobile Baby Course?

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.

My baby is 11 months old and not crawling yet. Which course should I get?

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.

Our dog is aggressive toward our baby, growling, lunging, and snapping. Will the course help us?

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.

How long does it take to complete the course?

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.

Mobile Baby Course
Who is the Mobile Baby Course for?

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.

My baby is one year old and recently started walking. Which course should I get?

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.

My baby is two years old, which course should I get.

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

Our dog is protective of her food and toys and growls any time our child is near. Will the course help with those behaviors?

No. Dog Meets Baby courses do not address more serious behavioral issues, such as resource guarding, aggression, or separation anxiety, as these concerns must be addressed one-on-one with a trainer. However, you can still take the course to learn how to best manage the environment and interactions. Learn how to find a qualified trainer here.

How long does it take to complete the course?

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.

You can also download the Kajabi app on your phone for easy access—simply search for it in your app store and log in with the details you used to sign up for the course.

What's the course format?

Both courses include video-based content and PDF resources.

We've never done any formal training with our dog. Are the Dog Meets Baby courses for us?

Yes. The content is helpful for dogs with and without formal training experience.

We have multiple dogs. Will the courses help?

Absolutely! The content is great for households with multiple dogs and/or multiple children.

How long do we have access to the course?

For as long as I continue to run Dog Meets Baby (and I only have plans to grow). For your peace of mind, I guarantee access for at least one year from purchase.

Please don't. Sharing your account with other families is prohibited and may result in losing access to your account.
