Family Paws parent education services
Empowering parents with knowledge and skills for a safe and happy home.
Are you a new or expecting parent with a dog? are you looking for guidance on how to successfully transition to a dog and baby household?
I am Morgan Jenkins, a Licensed Family Paws Parent Educator! I specialize in dog and baby/toddler safety and dynamics. I am passionate about empowering parents with the knowledge and skills they need to create a safe and happy home for their dogs and children. Whether you’ve just found out you’re expecting or already have a little one and need some coaching through the homecoming or toddler phase, I am excited to work with you. Maybe you already have a baby or toddler and are considering bringing a dog into the family- the Family Paws program is still an excellent option for you!
Our relationships to our children and to our dogs are two of the most meaningful bonds we can forge, but the truth is that dogs and children don’t always blend seamlessly. In our work together, we can proactively address many of the common trouble spots for growing families. We can formulate plans together for things like safe sleep, baby’s return from the hospital or tummy time. We can identify areas where skill building might be necessary for you or your dog, or what types of preparation take priority for your household. There’s so much to know about creating a safe and harmonious home for dogs and children and I can’t wait for us to get started.
Services are customizable to your needs, so please reach out about a monthly membership if you’re looking for more constant contact with a higher degree of support. The packages below are just a few of the options available but we can work together to build a training package that’s tailored to the needs of your family. I am available to work together in person or virtually, and our work together will include session notes and Family Paws handouts for reference and review.
