I’ve got you.
Say goodbye to worry, stress and guilt
You love your dog…
…But if she could learn to be more polite around your kids, you would love her even more! I’ll help you to feel more confident with your kids and dog, especially if you feel stumped as they experience developmental changes.
It’s a no brainer to seek support from an expert like me, who not only understands child development, but has direct experience. My name is Michelle Stern, and I’m a mom of two, a certified professional dog trainer (CPDT-KA), Family Dog Mediator, and dog behavior consultant, and former teacher with 16 years of experience. I love both ends of the leash and have combined my passion for dogs with my innate love of teaching families how to live more happily together.
When I had my daughter and adopted our son, we had a dog. And I didn’t realize how lucky we were. If I had known then what I know now, I would have parented a lot differently to ensure everyone was safe and happy together.
I will help you take the guesswork out of raising kids and dogs at the same time. The Pooch Parenting Society is the membership I wish I had when I was raising my kids and dogs.
Enjoy quality time together with your dog
at home or on family adventures.
I’ll show you how to keep both your
child and dog safe and happy
Parenting really does take a village.
The Pooch Parenting Society will help you to
love living with your family dog.

As a pediatrician, momma to an 8-month-old, and dog mom myself; I have learned so much about dogs from her and @poochparenting. I highly recommend her for any of your dog training needs.
