Dogs & Storks? "How do we prepare our dog for the baby?"

Family Dog Training Service Helps Growing Families Prepare Their Pup for Stork's Arrival.

Family Paws, a North Carolina based canine behavior and consulting company specializes in helping couples prepare their k9 baby before, during and after the arrival of a child.

"Ask a shelter volunteer and they'll tell you how often they see companions surrendered when a couple is expecting a baby. People are afraid and do not know where to go for advice on safe kid and canine interaction,“ Jen Shryock, owner and trainer of the company said. "For that reason, I decided to offer canine education and training services to families in our community. I want to help keep babies and kids safe and dogs in their homes."

Shryock and her husband Joe, with three children (7, 6 and 2), three dogs (two German Shepherds and one Golden Retriever) and two cats, understand first hand what is needed to keep children safe and life harmonious in a home with dogs. She and her family volunteer with many local rescue groups including German Shepherd Rescue and Adoptions (GSR&A), Neuse River Golden Retriever Rescue., and Second Chance Animal Rescue. In addition, Shryock is a former President of GSR&A. “There needs to be more education and resources on safe child and dog interaction," Shryock said. "I've seen what can happen and kids get hurt! I want to help keep kids safe, and dogs in their home.”

Family Paws is now offering “Dog & Stork” phone consultations for those that are not in the NC area. These services have helped many couples nationwide in preparing their k9 baby and setting their expectations and minds at ease. Through support, email, message board and many resources Jennifer provides New parents near and far with knowledgeable and helpful information.

Shryock is a graduate of Kutztown University where she obtained a duo Bachelor’s degree in Special Education and Elementary Education. She has worked with physically and mentally disabled children and adults for over 15 years. As a child, she grew up with six dogs and trained and showed them in both the breed show ring and obedience.

About seven years ago, she decided to be a stay at home mom and her desire to educate and help others grew. She became a member of the Nursing Mother’s Advisory Council and has counseled nursing Moms for over six years. Jennifer also has been a dedicated volunteer with the Welcome Baby Program for the past three years. In April 2001, Shryock and her husband created Family Paws.

"Family Paws allows me to enjoy the best of both worlds! I believe the relationship between dogs within their family is precious and I am dedicated to the success of this relationship."
