"Our dog is very protective and follows the baby everywhere. I’m concerned about how intense this behavior has become. How can we ease her protectiveness without making her feel disconnected from the baby?"

"My dog used to be calm, but now that our baby is crawling and grabbing things, he seems more on edge. How can we help him adjust to our baby’s new mobility without overwhelming him?"

"My dog tends to bark at every little sound, and I’m worried this will disturb the baby’s naps. Is there a way to manage his barking without causing stress to either the dog or the baby?"
