Desensitization is key to a happy household

In order to foster a good relationship between your new baby and your fur baby, keep these factors of dog desensitization in mind:

When

Start desensitizing your dog months before the baby is due. This will give your dog time to learn acceptable behaviors.

How

During one-on-one sessions, we’ll slowly expose your dog to the sights, smells and sounds of new babies.

Why

It’s important for your dog to learn how to stay calm and relaxed around your baby to keep them both safe.

The sooner you start desensitizing your dog, the more likely that he or she will exhibit good behaviors around your baby. Contact us to arrange for dog desensitization services in Lexington, Red Bank, Columbia, Chapin, Irmo, SC, and surrounding areas.
