  • concerned that your dog will be jealous of baby

  • overwhelmed because you don’t know how to get your dog ready for  your new baby and you aren’t sure who you can trust
  • nervous because your dog hasn’t been around many babies or kids

1-on-1 Support

Are you adopting or pregnant? Do you have an SOS situation? Looking for private coaching to prepare your dog for baby or to solve another challenge? Everyone starts with a Jump Start Consultation. From there, I'll recommend the right package to meet your needs.

Michelle helped us learn some strategies to get our puppy ready for our upcoming baby to join the household. Our 6 month old labradoodle is on the wild side, but she has helped us set Buster up for success. I feel really confident with what she's taught us, and the games are a really good way to help Buster with some self control. I fully recommend her to any family.
