I'm a Behavioral Dog Trainer/Consultant, Dog & Baby Expert, author of the best selling book, "Stop Training Your Dog," and wife to a former Animal Cruelty Investigator. I'm also a mom to three sons, three dogs, and a cat—so I know firsthand how crucial the dog and baby dynamic is for your entire family and future!

​I created the "Dog & Baby Bliss" program and the "Paws & Pacifiers" podcast to help dogs, babies, toddlers, and mostly parents, navigate some of the toughest transitions life can throw at you when having a family. Let's meet your dogs and kids exactly where they are developmentally and behaviorally by setting them up for success with strategies that feel good for your family and work with your lifestyle. Training your dogs and teaching your kids should never bring you to tears and should always be fun! Let's do this!
