Michelle Stern Pooch Parenting

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 and a 16-year veteran educator, I’ve got your back. I have taught hundreds of kids, dozens of dog families, and I can teach you (and your dog), too.

Michelle is a dog/kid/family whisperer! We have two young children and adding a puppy to the mix was difficult – until Michelle came along and shared her expertise. My dog and children love her and get so excited when she comes over. She does a great job of engaging the kids with games and activities. My kids have learned dog etiquette and safety, both with our dog and any dogs they meet. Because of her, we have gained new skills that have helped our new “puppy family” feel less chaotic.
