Welcome parents, grandparents, friends, and family. If you are here chances are that you are expecting a baby to be joining your family in the near future. We are so glad you found us! Our Dogs & Storks program has been supporting new and expecting families for 20 years. You can be confident in our program and our educators to help set you and your family dog up for success.
We know how much you love your dog. That’s why you want to make sure the transition for your family dog is an easy and safe one. For everyone involved. We understand and are here to help!
Preparing ahead can decrease stress for all involved. Our program answers the most commonly asked questions and provides insight on dog behavior to help you feel more confident and less stressed. Our Dogs & Storks program is perfect for new and expecting families while our Dogs & Toddlers program is ideal for families with babies PRIOR to the crawling stage.
All too often I receive calls from parents who are devastated due to their dog growling at their baby. Our programs are here to help dog lovers learn how to set their dog and child up for success to prevent conflicts and miscommunication that could lead to a growl, nip, or bite. Our 1 1/2 hour webinar or replay is honestly the best thing you can do as you prepare for baby, or for the crawling and mobility stage.
So many families WISH they’d had a better understanding of how their dog expressed their discomfort or anxiety before their baby arrived. Dogs communicate differently than humans. Having them as a part of our lives means we need to learn how they communicate and how to best support them as members of a growing family. The great thing is that everyone can increase their knowledge of dog body language and communication.
Our programs and resources help you anticipate, prepare, and establish expectations that leads to better outcomes for ALL members of your family. Dogs included.
