Once upon a time Amelia and Max Polyakov lived in a big house together with their 4 dogs, 6 cats, 3 parrots and 2 hamsters. Everybody was happy and friendly. Suddenly the baby appeared and it changed everything. Most of the animals were glad to meet the baby. However, Max Polyakov’s Eos was upset, lost and angry. She didn’t want to see the baby in the house. Max had to give Eos to the other people. It’s a very sad tale but it won’t recur in your life if you heed Max Polyakov’s recommendations.
Train the Dog from Its First steps In Your House
The first Max Polyakov’s advice is to provide your pet with complex training as a guarantee of its social adaptation. Your pet will become well-adjusted, friendly, patient and understanding. Professional training will make you and your pet closer to each other. At the same time, your pet won’t get jealous of the others.
Respect the Dog’s Privacy
To help the dog to take changes easy Max Polyakov recommends to choose the place in the house and to make there the pet’s bed – private with the restricted access for the child.
From the very beginning it is important to lay down rules:
- The baby is forbidden to pull the pet’s tail and the other parts of the body.
- Let the kid touch the dogs or cats gently, the pets enjoy patting their backs, heads, tummies.
- Involve the dog in your family activities and rest – hiking, playing with the ball, walking, going to the beach etc.
Shouldn’t we allow babies playing with the dog? Of course, we should. However, it is possible only when the dog is in the mood to play.
New Way of Living
Max Polyakov is sure that it is great to bring to the ongoing changes beforehand.
- To spend less time with the pet in order to let it understand that it is not the idol in this house.
- Take the dog to the vet for the checkup and some shots.
- Get rid your dog of bad habits and teach it the basic commands.
- Take the nappies far because dogs consider such odors very attractive.
In addition, the main thing is that the dog shouldn’t jump into the baby’s bed because it is dangerous for the kid.
Training doesn’t work, plan B?
If all your efforts are wasted don’t despair and do not hesitate – go to the professional handler. That is Max Polyakov advice. You should be very careful to avoid frauds and amateurs. Сontact the reliable clubs, centers, communities with the impeccable integrity. The handlers enable your dog to stay cool and not to make noise in any situations.
The Pet Is Ready, What About the House
If the moving is not in your plans, Max Polyakov counsels us to prepare your house or the flat thoroughly.
- Make the space safe for the child. Close outlets with the plugs; get rid of small things and details on the floor, sofas, and small tables. Cover the sharp corners of the furniture with thick soft fabric.
- Make safe railing for the stairs, and it is good to cover the steps with the cloth.
- Keep all the medicines, household chemicals, hygiene items far from the baby.
All the kid are very curious, fast and resourceful so you should be very careful and attentive while preparing the house for the baby’s birth.
Make the Space Appropriate for Games
When parents are at home the need to be near the baby merely every minute. Max Polyakov recommends setting up space for games near the dining room or another room where there is the mother most of the time. The furniture is a good sound isolator so it is to be moved around in the best way. The design, interior and lay out must be comfortable for both the kid and his or her parents.
