After graduating from the Academy for Dog Trainers, I spent some time in Brooklyn, New York.

And that's where Lola, my yellow lab, adopted me. To handle Lola's wild energy, I become a scent detection instructor (K9 Nose Work) and traveled all over the U.S. competing with her.

Lola is a wonderful dog. But... when I brought home my newborn twins, she had a predatory reaction to them. This is a highly unusual response and, thankfully, as a dog trainer I knew exactly what to do. But I knew other parents might not!

When I went looking for information about dogs and kids, I was surprised by how few good resources existed. So I decided to create them.
