If your dog has been acting different since your baby started crawling or if you're constantly on edge wondering if things are about to go sideways this episode is for you.

We’re talking I'm answering a listener question that I believe many parents can relate to. From growling at the food bowl to pacing around the baby, I’m breaking down exactly why this happens, what your dog is trying to communicate, and how toddler development plays a major role in dog behavior.

This is not just about training your dog, it’s about training yourself to understand exactly what's happening and act fast, protect, and guide everyone in your home. Without punishment. Without guilt. And without guessing.

👇 Here’s what we cover:

— The truth about toddler sensory behavior & how it triggers your dog
— Why growling is not a bad thing
— What resource guarding actually looks like (and how to handle it)
— The #1 mistake parents make with toddlers and dogs
— My exact step-by-step training plan to restore calm and create safety

Whether you’re already in the thick of it or trying to prep before baby arrives, you’ll walk away from this episode feeling clear, supported, and ready to lead.
