Postpartum and Family Dogs … Impulsive Re-homing Phase (IRP) Class: FREE!

CLick HERE to watch now!

Overwhelmed new parents each year make a heart wrenching decision they often regret. Usually this peaks when baby is 2 – 6 months of age. This is Impulsive Rehoming Phase (IRP) or “Better Off” Phase. Mom may feel the dog would be “Better Off” with another family as she is too tired or unable to meet the needs. Other family members may feel mom would be “Better Off” with one less thing to take care of. These are the situations heard time and time again. There are many factors at play here and our goal is to offer ongoing support and solutions to help professionals and families work through this challenging time. I have found with simple steps and support, families can successfully work through this period with their companions remaining in their home.

Topics:

Signs of IRP
Triggers of IRP
Action steps for IRP
Support for IRP
When it Is not IRP and rehoming might be the best option
