It is very common for couples to have a feline or canine baby prior to
starting a family of their own. Often there are concerns about the adjustment of
the companion to this new lifestyle change. There may even be concerns and
feelings that are quite mixed. I commonly hear of couples being overwhelmed and
making the sad decision to surrender their furry baby prior to the arrival of a
child. Our goal is to provide resources and skills so that they know how to
safely and smoothly include their companion during this and future life
changes.
Planning ahead is key in this process. Dogs & Storks offers many
tips on exactly how parents to be can plan ahead in an active way.
Obedience, leadership and management are stressed and explained clearly
to empower couples. Understanding your dogs behavior and communication will help
you better prepare and recognize trouble spots to smooth out ahead of time. This
really makes a difference when you are a new parent.
Special Education
and Elementary Education has been the field of choice for Jennifer Shryock for
years. Jennifer has over 15 years experience in the teaching field as well as
being involved in Dog handling and behavior.
As a Proud Mother of three
children and five furry children Jennifer knows first hand the importance of
safety in the home. Jennifer has first hand experience at making this transition
work well for all involved and shares that with each family she reaches. Dogs
and Children are usually drawn to each other. Trouble happens when there is
miscommunication and lack of supervision. “My goal is to close the gap.”
Jennifer knows that by providing education to new parents we are setting up the
next generation of dog and cat owners for success. “The more education we can
offer families about safe interaction, the more likely we can decrease the
chances of families deciding to re-home and abandon their loved companions.”
