New sounds\, smells\, and activities surrounding an infant may cause a pet to see the baby as competition\, prey\, or even a toy. \nBaby-Ready Pets offers preparation and assistance to help expectant families prepare their home and their pets for the arrival of the new baby and to make sure that it is a safe and (relatively) stress-free experience for all. This seminar is based on a program created by the Providence Animal Rescue League and the Rhode Island SPCA\, and has been endorsed by the ASPCA. The Animal Welfare League of Arlington?s staff will present Baby-Ready Pets for expectant parents in a two-hour workshop at the League. \nAfter the program\, participants may call or e-mail follow-up questions if they need additional support. Participants will also receive helpful handouts and a CD of baby sounds to help desensitize their pets to the sounds of the new arrival. This is a HUMAN-ONLY class\, please leave your pets at home. \nThere is no fee for the class\, but donations are welcome. Reservations are required and space is limited. To make a reservation or for more information\, please e-mail amintz@awla.org or call (703) 931-9241 x246 with the following information: \nthe number and type of pets that you have in your home (including breed and size);\nyour approximate due date;\nyour phone number and email address;\nthe number of people attending. \nYou will receive an e-mail to confirm that space is available and you are registered.
