Build a Bond

I know you love your dog. You feed them the best food, give them constant belly rubs and made them a part of the family.

Even with all this, your dog still craves quality time with you. I am here to find what motivates your dog and how you can incorporate that into your every day routine.

Creating a strong bond makes the many years you have with each other worth every second.

Improve your relationship

Whether you got the best purebred pup or a rescue love bug, your dog comes from certain breeds that react to stimulation differently. They may have been bred to hunt rats, guard herds of sheep or be a lapdog for royalty. Each one of these breeds reacts to stimuli differently and have heightened sensitivity to various sensations.

Pinpointing the best training method will help you to improve on the relationship you have or want with your new best friend.

“Testimonials”

“Meg is an absolutely wonderful dog trainer. She’s now helped me train two highly active, strong willed male Dobermans & also assisted my mom in training her two Havanese. She works across the spectrum! I’ve also followed her many successful foster stories over the years, prepping pups to find their forever homes. Without Meg, they might have not been so lucky. She truly has a knack for this & has a special bond with dogs. I can’t recommend her enough!”

-Jessica P.


“I believe Meg could convince my pup to joyously jump over the moon with me! Meg is a courteous, effective, loving, respectful person with myself and my dog as we both needed training…She continues to commit herself to our progress.

-Linda L.


“I was in tears when I called for help with my rescue German Shepherd…I was at my breaking point…Megan always remained positive and always had new ideas to further train Marty. From homemade treats, dog decoys , and nose-work Megan changed my dog. Megan helped my dog grow and gave him and me the tools to ease his anxiety and help him become a happy dog.”

-Alex Z.


“After enlisting and accepting Meg’s help – we left for a family vacation for 7 days.  When we returned, our dog was a whole new experience. A year or so later, we are still using the same techniques, and can have guests arrive without fear of the dog being overly rambunctious. We know his good mannerisms and ones we have to always reinforce and how to manage that.  If it wasn’t for Meg’s care and support, I truly believe we might have been forced to make a decision to find a new home.  I’m so grateful for the love and care provided to us so we can speak our dog’s language.

 If you are a dog owner, let Meg help you teach you their language.  It will be the best thing you can do for that lifelong friendship you’ll gain.”

-Melody M.


“Riley had a great time and it was a great training session for me as well to remember that her confidence is driven by me and that I have to help her be confident.”
