Did you know dog bites are one of the most common injuries among children in the U.S.? Many happen inside loving homes with familiar family dogs. That’s why understanding dog body language and preparing your dog for a baby’s arrival is so important.

In this episode of The Doodle Pro® Podcast, I’m joined by Tanya Lim, Doggy Doula™ at Family Pupz, to break down the myths and misconceptions about introducing babies to dogs. We cover what parents really need to know to keep both children and dogs safe.

✨ What You’ll Learn in This Episode

  • The Baby Blanket Myth and why it doesn’t work the way most parents think
  • Why most dog bites happen with family dogs inside the home
  • How to recognize signs of stress and discomfort in your dog
  • Why breed isn’t a predictor of bite risk — behavior and context matter
  • Step-by-step tips for preparing your dog for life with a baby (sounds, smells, routines, safe zones)
  • How to set boundaries and teach respectful child-dog interactions

Dog-child safety isn’t about fear, it’s about proactive preparation. With the right tools, parents can help prevent bites, reduce stress, and create a smoother transition for everyone in the household.
