Let me guess…

You’re currently struggling with your dog’s behavioral issues, leading to a very frazzled you before you’ve even had your morning cup of coffee, and you’re knee-deep in a mountain of online training content with no idea where to start…

But what if dog training felt like an exhale?

Instead of the familiar knot in your stomach when you leave your dog at home again because you worry about their behavior in public…

or the uncomfortable tension in your shoulders when you know people are coming over and you’re trying to anticipate how you’ll dog will react…

or holding your breath on your daily walk thinking reactivity is just around the corner…

Imagine how it might feel to experience dog training like a smooth exhale…

Sounds like a dream →

All that overwhelm and anxiety you feel?

Totally valid.

The dog training world is an emotional industry, full of a lottt of conflicting opinions and information.

It’s no wonder you feel defeated, frustrated, and anxious. Toss in a nervous or reactive dog and your own anxiety quadruples.

It’s easy to feel shame or hopelessness when you’re unable to manage your dog, isn’t it?

But it’s not your fault.

Read that again.

Any number of reasons can cause dogs to become reactive or struggle with behavioral issues. But you do have a great opportunity to learn how to be the best leader for your dog.

When it comes to training your dog, it’s less about looking to the past to understand what caused the issues and looking forward to seeing how you can help your dog succeed.

Because let me spill the kibble for ya:

Training starts

with you.

I don’t need to regale you with tails on how rewarding & wonderful & magical life is with a canine companion by your side. You already know that…

Or how exhausting & depleting & hopeless it can feel when your dog is struggling with reactivity or fearfulness. 🙋🏻‍♀️ If you’re reading this, I’m guessing you know that, too.

So I just have one question: how might we get you feeling more capable and confident as a dog owner and trainer for your dog?

I’m Meg

Hi,

Canine connoisseur, Olipop fanatic, and adventure enthusiast teaching dedicated dog owners and trainers (like you!) how to live in harmony with their dogs.

Get to know me

I’ve been training dogs for 7+ years now and if I’ve learned anything after helping thousands of dog owners train their dogs, it’s this:

Dogs are our little mirrors.

The first step to training is recognizing your own emotions and setting yourself up for success so that you can do the same for your dog.

It’s entirely possible for you to feel EMPOWERED as a dog owner.

Let’s boost your confidence and unleash the most empowered version of you as a dog trainer so that you can live the best life with your pups.

Let's start

Marc H.

“Meg is an amazing human being and has made a community of equally awesome humans. Everyone in the community wants each other to succeed and I am overwhelmed by the support.”

Tiffany F.

“There’s so many great things I can say about Meg, but it all ultimately leads to her being such a great human and knowing exactly what she’s doing. She’s been our best investment for Ruby and Lu. She gave us the tools to manage reactivity, build our dogs confidence and always helps us build confidence in situations we’re more likely to steer away from.”
