Episode Details

Are you pregnant and wondering how your dog will handle the change?
A lot of pet parents wait until the baby is home to “see how it goes,” and that’s when stress and behavior issues show up fast.

This episode is about what to do now, while you still have time, so your dog feels steady, not blindsided, when life changes overnight.

BY THE TIME YOU FINISH LISTENING, YOU’LL LEARN:
 ✔️ Why the biggest problem is often mixed signals between adults, not a “bad dog”
 ✔️ The early stress signs most people miss, and what they look like in real life
 ✔️ Simple ways to build calm, confidence, and safety before baby arrives

Listen now so you’re not trying to fix this on two hours of sleep.

P.S. You may hear us refer to the show as Starlight Pet Talk during this episode. That was our previous name before we embraced the fur, mess, and mayhem. Same content, just a name that fits better.

LOOKING FOR A GREAT CRATE? I focused on benefits in this episode, but one of my top picks is Impact Dog Crates. They’re an investment, but built to last a lifetime of safety and security for your dog.
