Suzy Frigo
While my husband and I grew up in California, we’re raising our children in the Dayton area. After multiple miscarriages and a stillbirth, I’m the mother of five children. Alongside my role as a mom, I’m the Founder/ Executive Director of Everybody's Doggy, a local nonprofit that aims to strengthen the bond between people and pets. With over 15 years of experience as a dog trainer and doula, I’ve supported hundreds of families as they grow, either by adding a baby or a dog into their home. I find joy in providing practical support to parents all across our community.
