I appreciate that dog & baby specialists are few and far between, so sorry to leave you hanging!
I'll be continuing to share heaps of dog & baby safety / lifestyle related content over my Instagram as usual, but if you are in need of in person support, please use the resources below to find other qualified and vetted educators:
Personal recommendation for London is Helen Nash
Personal recommendation is Sam the Dog Coach
As one of the UK's only Family Paws Parent Educators, Leila is specifically trained to help you create the most positive environment for your family set up.
Whether you're expecting a baby, trying to navigate life with a dog and a young child or struggling with more specific behaviours, Leila can help arm you with information and practical training solutions to make each stage easier and safer.
With a kind and caring approach, Leila aims to use her knowledge of child development and parental mental health to support her work with every family.
1:1 Support
Available in person (London) or remotely
During an initial consultation, we will learn about you and your dog, working to understand any issues you may be facing and the role these may play in family life.
We will then create an initial plan of action (supported by Family Paws materials) and give you an idea of which packages would be best suited to you and your needs.
While we prefer to work from a package structure as this enables the best results, all 1:1 support is bespoke and can be adjusted in regards to frequency and timeframes.
Expectant parents: We can begin working together at any stage of your pregnancy / process but as with anything, the longer we have to prepare, the better!
