Why Living with Kids is Hard for Dogs With Michelle Stern, CPDT-KA
If you’ve ever lived with kids and a dog—or worked with families who do—you already know it’s not always easy. Dogs don’t instinctively understand children, and kids don’t always know how to interact safely with dogs. That can lead to stress, frustration, and sometimes even dangerous situations.
Whether you’re a parent, a dog trainer, or another pet professional, this class will give you valuable insights into the unique challenges dogs face in family homes. We’ll explore child development, common parenting struggles, how to recognize signs of stress in dogs, and what steps both parents and professionals can take to create safer, calmer interactions between kids and dogs.
By understanding a dog’s perspective and learning practical strategies, you can help prevent problems before they start—keeping kids safe, dogs happy, and homes more peaceful.
