Oh, Baby!
You are excitedly expecting a child, but maybe your dog isn’t quite as sure. If your dog seems more clingy than usual, don’t worry. Changes in your dog’s behavior are very common during this time. I can work with you in person or via video before and after the arrival of your baby to implement some strategies to reduce stress and promote success.
- We will focus on practical strategies that will help your family and dog prepare for the coming changes to your family.
- Together, we will evaluate your dog’s body language, identifying stress signals along with simple ways to alleviate them.
- We’ll work on a plan to help your dog become more polite, helping to keep you and your baby safe.
The Oh, Baby bundle is ideal for families who are adopting, pregnant, or who have newborns through babies, ages 9-months.
Gift certificates are available, and make the perfect gift for friends or family who are expecting and have a dog.

- Additional appointments, as needed: $85/hour

Michelle helped us learn some strategies to get our puppy ready for our upcoming baby to join the household. Our 6 month old labradoodle was (and still is) a little on the wild side, but what she’s taught us will really help 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 himself want to be a good dog and teach him self control. I fully plan to have her come help us again after the baby comes, and if you are planning a puppy and a baby (or even if you just want help training your dog) I fully recommend her to anyone. -MF

I’m so thankful for Michelle and all she has shared with me. My pup would not be living in my home right now had I not found her ! My dog Max did not like my son from the moment he could crawl. Michelle helped me figure out what Max was trying to say. We have a lot of small successes, some days are hard. But Max is still with us. I am so in tune with what he is saying to me through his body language that I’m able to help my kids see the signs of be respectful to Max and his needs. Thank you Michelle for helping keep Max apart of our family. -CB
