We own two dogs, Rascal, a Maltese-Poodle and Barley, a Bichon-Poodle. They are 3 and 2 1/2 years old, respectively. While we were 7 months pregnant with our first child, we had a biting incident with Rascal. Not wanting to waste any time before the baby was due, we decided to work with a personal behavior consultant to prevent this from happening again. From the first time we worked with Jamie and Animal Sense, we knew we made the right decision. Having two dogs alone is a lot of work, adding a baby to the mix was something we knew we had to do carefully and correctly. While working with Jamie and Animal Sense, we no longer had any worries about introducing a our little girl into our "pack." With Jamie's direction and guidance, we were able to make the transition effortlessly. So far, Grace is three months old and she and the dogs "get along" perfectly. While they don't interact very much yet, we know that when they do, we now have the tools to ensure everyone's safety.

I know without Animal Sense, we would have been much more nervous about this situation and would have taken many, many unnecessary steps when introducing the baby to the dogs. We love Rascal and Barley too much to want anything but the best for them, and Animal Sense is it! (Now, if we could just get Jamie to show us how to train Gracie to sleep through the night...)
