DOGS & STORKS
Webinar
Welcoming a new baby into the family is such an exciting time!
There’s so much to plan and prepare. You’ve gone over every detail with a fine tooth comb, from the nursery decorations to your birth plan. But there’s one important detail that many soon-to-be parents don’t think about...
how will your fur-baby react?
In our Dogs & Storks webinar, we’ll help you prepare your dog for the baby’s arrival so that all your babies, human and fur-baby alike, can get to know each other in a calm, safe, and loving way.

"This is an excellent resource for families raising children and dogs. Before, or during your pregnancy or after the baby comes!"
"My dog freaked out when my newborn son cried and I was scared by his reaction and didn’t know what to do. After reaching out to Kim things turned around quickly, there was peace in my home and my mind was put to ease. Thank you Kim!"
