Meet your trainer

Understanding the dynamics between animals and humans and how to communicate with each other has long been Meagan's passion. Although she spent much of her earlier years riding and showing horses, Meagan has since found her niche helping dogs and their owners get to know each other better. She takes pride in helping pet parents become their dogs best teacher. She has 2 of her own dogs (Rosco the Cane Corso, and Kali the Shepherd X), a horse (Zephyr) and 2 young children. She knows how busy life can get and loves helping owners find balance and harmony between their dogs and all things life, as well as safety with kids and dogs together in the home. Meagan loves all dogs but has a special spot for reactive dogs and nervous pups who need to find their confidence in the world. 

​

Meagan is dedicated to continuous learning and growth, personally and professionally. This is seen in the happy dogs and happy clients she works with and she takes great pride in her work, referrals and repeat clients.

We want to stay up to date and there is ALWAYS something to learn, through new courses, new clients and new research. We are dedicated to learning from a variety of resources to help us be as adaptable and knowledgeable as possible. We strongly believe in continuing education through a variety of resources, whether in person or online. We learn from both balanced and force free sources, and carry an open minded approach to training. We are a supporting member of IAABC, Insured through ProFur, and hold our DogSafe Canine First Aid Certification. 

Our dogs learn, too! Although our own dogs are in their senior years and spend less time at lessons off property, they still help us rehab dogs regularly when they come for boarding and/or day school.
