The Pooch Parenting
Coach Collective
Confidently Say "Yes" to Clients with Children at all Ages and Stages
As Seen In...
Joining The Pooch Parenting Coach Collective will empower you to take on new clients with confidence.
Hi there! I'm Michelle Stern, founder of Pooch Parenting. I'm not just a certified professional dog trainer (CPDT-KA), but I'm a mom and former teacher. I know what it's like to parent kids and dogs at the same time - from personal AND professional experience. And I want to help you to be a better coach for your clients, even if kids aren't in your comfort zone.
Even if Dogs & Kids
aren't your niche...
...you'd be surprised at how often dogs interact with children. You may get calls because someone's dog growled at the toddler...or worse. If you are lucky, you can help someone prepare their dog for a baby who hasn't arrived yet. Or maybe you work with retirees who have grandchildren or young couples whose friends have kids.
This membership will improve your confidence in your cases that currently involve children and will empower you to say "yes" to additional clients in the future.
Here's What You Get In the Coach Collective
Our membership includes:
1 Monthly Zoom Call to discuss cases and best practices for families who are expecting or who have babies, toddlers and kids
Made for you Handouts and Graphics to share with clients, saving you hours of time making your own.
Twice a year, you can invite me to sit in on one of your virtual client sessions so that I can either assist in real time or give you feedback and support afterwards.
A private Facebook community of like-minded R+ professionals, where we discuss cases, social media posts & myths, and our professional wins
As a former classroom teacher, I LOVE making educational materials. The handouts that I create are one of THE MOST POPULAR features of this membership. While I have a list of topics that I am creating content on, I'm also eager to make materials based on the needs of you and your clients!
Popular handouts have included these topics:
- Barking and baby sleep
- Management Menu - who goes where and when
- How baby's development impacts dogs over time
- Introducing baby sounds to dogs
- Car safety for dogs and children
- New puppy prep for families with kids
- How to handle pet loss with kids
How it Works
We will meet monthly over Zoom and regularly inside of our Facebook community to discuss your current cases, best practices, and address common objections and challenges your clients may be facing. I'll take you from where you are to where you want to be by giving you clarity on how to best help your family dog clients. And best of all, you'll be with a supportive group of R+ professionals who are learning with you.
Frequently Asked Questions
- What if I don't have many cases involving kids but still want occasional help?I currently offer 1-on-1 coaching to dog pros. The cost is $75 for a 30-minute session.
This membership costs $39/month, 2x less than a single session with me.
If you want focused attention and can afford it, a consult may be the way to go.
If you are watching your budget but still want to learn, the membership is a super option. - How is this membership different from other existing Dog and Child programs?There are very few existing dog and child programs out there.
One is a course that focuses on dogs and babies/toddlers. It costs several thousand dollars a yearly licensing fee. If this is not your niche, the cost might be prohibitive.
One program focuses on children and has excellent pre-made lesson plans if you want to teach children directly.
Another is based in the UK (I am one of her only approved trainers in the USA). Time zones can make this challenging if you are a different part of the world.
OUR membership is NOT a course. It offers ongoing support with your caseload along with monthly made-for-you handouts you can share with clients. We will be a supportive community to give you feedback that you can use immediately with your clients.
The Cost of Your Investment
You COULD book private consults with me to discuss your current cases at the rate of $75 for 30 minutes.
OR
You can join as a monthly member and pay $39/month for as long as you remain a member in good standing.
That's TWO MONTHS of support for the cost of A SINGLE 30 minute consult.
It's a tiny price to pay for serving NEW clients with confidence. Even if you book a SINGLE appointment with a a new client with kids, this membership pays for itself for THREE MONTHS!
