In episode 72 of the Pooch Parenting Podcast, I share brief stories of 4 recent clients so you can see examples of the types of people who choose to work with a dog and child specialist.

Lots of dog trainers are generalists who have skills that can help you a little bit with a lot of challenging situations.

But if you have a specific challenge, such as living with kids and dogs at the same time, a generalist might not be the answer.

Instead, seeing a dog and child specialist is the way to go.

You are familiar with using specialists. If you had a baby, you had an OB. If you needed support with breastfeeding, you worked with a lactation consultant. If your child had a tongue tie, you saw a specialized doctor to release it.

So why wouldn't you want to work with a specialist if you wanted to prepare your dog for new baby or if your dog growled at your toddler. Or maybe you want to add the "right fit dog" to your family with kids.

Can you relate? If so, I'm here for you.

Thank you for listening!
