Did you know that the arrival of a new baby is one of the top three reasons dogs are surrendered for re-homing? Or that the vast majority of dog bites to children come from their own family pet?

Juggling dogs, babies and children can be challenging and sometimes stressful.  As a parent and professional dog trainer I understand and can help you prepare for life with dogs & babies and help you create safe, harmonious relationships between your dog and your children.
