“It was a relief to finally have a trusted trainer who is part of our ‘it takes a village’ mentality when it comes to our sweet girl.”
Preparing Families with Dogs for Life with a Baby
Rebecca understands your dog means everything to you. When you’re expecting, there is a level of excitement and anticipation: How will the dog react? Does the dog know I’m pregnant? Will the dog be jealous of the baby? I want everything to go smoothly!
As a proud licensed Family Paw Parent Educator, Rebecca can help you navigate this special time in your family’s life. You will be provided with resources for a successful transition for life with a baby, as well as one-on-one training and guidance to ensure you and your dog have the much-needed skills once the baby comes home. Since our dogs can’t read baby books or listen to podcasts, it’s up to us to help them prepare and succeed!
Video consultations are $150 for 60-75 minutes.
“Rebecca was invaluable helping prepare us and our dog, Ollie, for the arrival of our new baby girl. She eased our concerns and helped us plan ahead.”
