Online Dog Training Workshops for Expecting Parents
Prepare your dog for your baby's arrival with practical, expert-led online workshops. I walk you through the essential steps to create a safe, stress-free home, no matter where you are.
I'm excited to announce my online webinar, "Preparing Your Dog for a Baby." This is a topic very close to my heart, and this session is the perfect starting point for expecting parents or new parents navigating this journey.
In my webinar, we cover the most important topics: why preparation is crucial, how your dog's life will change, what to prepare for, how to handle the first meeting, and navigating the first few days with the baby at home.
This is an advertisement for a past webinar. I regularly host these sessions online via Zoom, making it accessible for parents everywhere to get the information they need to create a safe and happy home for their dogs and babies.
Here is the list of topics from a previous workshop. My goal is to give you a comprehensive toolkit of information and practical steps to feel confident and prepared for your family's new chapter.

About this collection
Most parents wait until the baby is home to figure out the dog's routine, but that is exactly when things get overwhelming. In my webinars, we focus on prep-work like building reliable 'place' and 'leave it' cues and setting up physical boundaries, so your dog already understands their new role before you walk through the door with the baby.
Why online training works
The transition from a pet-focused home to a family of three is a huge adjustment. My 2-hour webinar, 'Preparing Your Dog for a Baby,' is designed to cut through the outdated advice you see online and give you a clear, manageable roadmap. Online learning allows you to watch and learn from the comfort of your own home, reducing stress for both you and your dog.
What we cover
We dive into the logistics—how to introduce your dog to baby scents, how to choreograph that first meeting, and how to manage the 'post-hospital' chaos. I show you how to use baby gates and safe zones properly so your dog always has a place to retreat when the house gets loud.
Why this matters
This isn't just theory. We go through the 'myth-busting' part of training where we talk about why certain traditional methods can actually be dangerous. You will get a recording of the session for future review, plus a live Q&A segment where you can ask me about your specific concerns. Whether you are expecting your first or adding to your family, my goal is to give you the confidence to manage this change calmly. I am here to help you skip the guesswork and focus on what actually works for both your child and your pet.
