I'm so glad you are here!
As a professional who works with families who often have dogs, you likely see clients who are worried about how their "fur baby" will react to their new baby. I can't blame them. I was in their shoes. Now that I'm a certified professional dog trainer and behavior consultant, I specialize in dogs and children - supporting both ends of the leash.
This workshop, Dog and Baby Safety is designed just for you. I share tips of the trade so that you can feel more comfortable answering simple questions about dogs and babies. It will also empower you to refer to a dog & child specialist if they need more expert advice or dog training.
Details: This is an on-demand course, ready whenever you are. You will be emailed a link to the video, along with the workbook, after completing the purchase.
Cost? $47 (that's a no-brainer!), includes a workbook and course recording

Michelle's Baby and Dog Workshop is a must see for all doulas, sleep consultants, and baby care professionals! Her knowledge and attention to safety is evident in the presentation and workshop reference. As a sleep consultant, I am always looking at the entire home dynamics and at all of the factors that go into a baby's sleep and safety. Learning about how to safely manage having a dog and baby/toddler is a piece that I didn't consider when thinking about the environment. I will definitely be recommending this workshop to other professionals and will be referring families who need further assistance in supporting their dogs to Michelle as well!
I just completed Michelle's Dog and Baby Safety for Baby Professionals and learned so much from Michelle! I am a postpartum doula and work with a lot of families with dogs. I am a dog lover and have had dogs all my life and thought that would equip me for working with clients who have dogs and babies. How wrong I was! I realized from taking Michelle's course how much I didn't know. Michelle is a great teacher, knowledgeable, passionate about dogs and babies, and great dog behavioural trainer. I would definitely recommend this course for any baby professional who are working with families with dogs.
