If you're a parent, how do you know if your kids are ready for a dog? And if they are, how do you prepare them for bringing that new dog home?

Well lucky for you (and me) Justine Schuurmans, the expert on families, kids, and dogs, is going to answer those questions.

Justine is the founder of The Family Dog and the creator of The Dial Method. Her work with families has greatly impacted how I work with kids and puppies to this day.

The best part? This is part one of a two part series. Stay tuned for part two where she talks about what to do when the your kids and the dog aren't BFFs like you planned.

In this episode we talk about:

Are your kids ready for a dog?
Are you ready for a new dog?
How much can you depend on the kids help?
Why younger kids shouldn't be in charge of walking the dog.
Picking the right dog for your family's lifestyle.
How to prepare your kids for when the dog comes home.

Press play and enjoy!
