Presenters Are Saying…

Hear what Susan Isaacs (one of our California presenters) says!

Why did you choose to become a Family Paws Parent Education (FPPE) presenter??

Your beloved dog has been in the family for some time. You have invested the time and effort to teach him manners and the training has paid off:  Pooch behaves beautifully at home and in public.

It is oh-so-human to assume during pregnancy, and then once baby has arrived, that the calm control that we have worked so hard to build will carry over into this new chapter in life.  Unfortunately, this is often not the case as routines are upended and stress levels climb. 

Thanks to the FPPE program, and to Jennifer Shryock’s invaluable guidance, I have the tools to help families make sense of and address the changes that may be causing their dog to become restless or clingy or anxious.  Read more about Susan here!
