My lecture classes presented through Sharp and Scripps childbirth education programs are chock full of information about safety and planning and managing expectations from pregnancy through preschool. It’s an excellent stand-alone class and definitely necessary for the safety side of things.
As part of the “dog profiling” part of the class, we identify training gaps and individual areas for improvement. While I provide lots of resources for the “do-it-yourselfers,” I know not everyone learns as easily from books or videos and there’s no substitute for getting to work with your own dog under a trainer’s guidance and encouragement.
With that in mind, I’m starting two new classes to offer more hands-on support both pre and post-baby:
- Loose Leash Walking With a Stroller, and
- Loving Life With Dog and Baby
These classes are an adjunct to the Dogs and Babies – Play It Safe! class and are not a replacement. However, classes can be taken in any order. You don’t even have to be pregnant!
See class description page which includes contact info for questions and registration.
Let’s make it a smooth transition to life with baby!
Welcome!
I'm a San Diego dog trainer and a Mom to two boys, now 7 and 10. I used to manage the Behavior and Training department at the San Diego Humane Society and then started doing more and more work with dogs and babies/young children until it became my primary specialty. This website is to provide information about my dog training and baby preparation classes in San Diego and serve as a resource for expectant parents and families wanting to learn more about preparing dog for baby, bite prevention and fostering friendship between dogs and young children. I work on it a little at a time so please bear with the "in progress" state!
