This page is dedicated to help families develop a stronger relationship with their pets. Many tools, options, and solutions will be discussed and explained throughout this page.

My very first blog post:

Alright everyone…
Cut me some slack because I have never done this before, but here goes!

I started this website–nay, this future revolution–because when I used to teach my dog obedience classes, I was appalled to hear that most other places do not allow children to help with the training.

Wait, what? Why?
I completely understand the liability factor; don’t get me wrong!
However, there are ways to legally cover your business so you, as a trainer, do not get into trouble.
Isn’t the main reason most families get pets because the children are the ones who want them? Aren’t the parents the ones who are sick of getting stuck taking care of the pets? Aren’t kids mostly the ones teaching (or even encouraging) the bad habits to the pets (begging, rough-housing, jumping, etc.)?

Stop the insanity I say!!

There has to be a better way. I can do this! We can do this together! I’ve seen so many parenting websites, social media pages, etc. that give such strong advice regarding raising our children. So let’s start one where we, as parents, raise our children to help raise our pets, too!

Where this website will be a process, I am on a mission to help families to build these relationships. So, let’s do this! As parents, as pet owners, as families, I encourage you.
