Welcome special guest Kelsey Lafleur! Kelsey is a full-time dog trainer at The Dog Classroom with two dogs and a baby on the way.

In this episode, Amelia and Kelsey discuss some of the preparation that Kelsey is doing with her dogs to prepare for their new human sister and all the changes that are to come! Starting this training well in advance will help the transition go more smoothly for everyone.
