Dogs and Babies

Are you pregnant or adopting? Do you already have a dog and baby? I can hep you prepare your dog for new baby or help you with your dog & baby safety concerns so that you can worry less and enjoy your newborn.

Dogs and Toddlers

Do you have a dog and toddler? This is the stage where many dogs become nervous around your child. Control the chaos that comes with living with toddlers and dogs so that everyone feels safe.

1-on-1 Support

Every parenting journey is unique. Whether you want to find the "right fit" dog for your family, you have an SOS situation, or you wish your kids and dogs got along better, I've got you, no matter where in the world you live.

Online Classes

Convenient and affordable on-demand classes and workshops about dogs and babies, toddlers and kids for parents and professionals.

Paws to Pacifiers

This premium package is now available all-year. Babies don't wait, and so now you don't have to wait either! If you want the very best for your dog and baby, this program is for you.

For Dog Professionals

I help dog professionals with best practices for working with kids of all ages and dogs. Join my membership, download my handout templates or take my online workshop. I am also available to speak on your podcast or at your conference.

Michelle Stern, founder of Pooch Parenting, is a dog behavior consultant and certified professional trainer. She specializes in working with families who have kids and dogs, toddlers and dogs, babies and dogs, and families with dogs who are adopting a baby or who are pregnant.

From one mom to another, I know what it’s like to worry. We want what’s best for our kids AND our dogs – and the chaos that comes with living with both can be overwhelming.

I want to put your mind at ease. As a Certified Professional Dog Trainer, dog behavior consultant, Licensed Family Dog Mediator and a 16-year veteran educator, I’ve got your back. I have taught over a thousand kids, hundreds of dog families, and I can teach you (and your dog), too.

Pooch Parenting does not use fear, pain or intimidating strategies with dogs or their family members.

Thank you so much for all of your help. You have given me the confidence to remain calm and have made my home a happy place for our fur babies and human babies. I am sure more challenges may arise as she grows up, but I'm so grateful to have this foundation and know that your support is just an email away. Thank you so so very much!
