Preparing ahead of time is key to a safe and harmonious home for children and the family dog. Preparation reduces your stress during a busy, exciting time in your life. This two-hour online session is perfect for people with dogs who:

Are just starting to plan a family
Are expecting a baby
Have newborn babies in the home
Have older babies and/or toddlers
Are grandparents and extended family who have babies and children visit

Have a friend or family member considering or needing some dog training? Get them started with a gift certificate for an Initial Online Consultation.

In this 60-minute session, we meet online and I gather the information I need in order to assess a dog’s behavior.

Afterwards, I follow up with a behavior assessment, recommendations for next steps, and actions people can take right away.


Follow-up includes information on:

Gear recommendations
House-training/chew training
Safety strategies
Managing nuisance behaviors
Enrichment ideas
Links to relevant resources
Guidance for all age levels
