I cannot recommend Dog Flower and Meghan enough! I have a 7 month herding mix, Asha, and while I absolutely adore her, I was honestly feeling overwhelmed trying to meet all of her needs while also giving her the structure, enrichment, and training she needs at this important stage of her life. Since adopting Asha, I’ve tried a few different training options while looking for the right fit, and Meghan has truly been everything I could have hoped for. Asha absolutely LOVES going, and it’s so clear how much she is benefiting from the experience. Meghan has such a gentle, calm, and knowledgeable approach. She takes the time to understand each dog’s individual personality and needs rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach, and I always feel like Asha is in such good hands with her. We’ve been going to the Bark and Bloom day training with Meghan. The follow-up “report card” after each day of training is AMAZING. It’s incredibly thorough and includes explanations of what they worked on, videos so I can see what they practiced, and the cutest pictures of Asha! It’s obvious how much time and care Meghan puts into these updates, and they make it so much easier for me to continue working with Asha at home. Having a young, energetic herding breed can definitely feel like a lot sometimes, and Bark and Bloom has made me feel so much more supported and confident in helping Asha become the happy, well rounded pup I know she can be. Thank you, Meghan, for taking such wonderful care of my girl! 💜 We absolutely love Dog Flower!
We took our foster puppy here for a puppy social. It was very well ran and a positive experience for our little fella. The instructions sent before class were helpful to know to expect and bring. Meaghan was very thoughtful in how she led the class adjusting it to the puppies and people that were there. Thank you Dog Flower!

Meaghan is an incredible dog trainer and an equally amazing teacher for humans! My dog, who is typically very fearful of new people, trusted Meaghan from the very first meeting, which goes to show their skills and understanding of dog behavior. They do an amazing job adjusting training to each dog's individual needs and their human’s goals while keeping class fun, engaging, and safe. I highly recommend their socials, Bark & Bloom Academy, and group classes. If you're looking for a place to build confidence, strengthen your bond with your dog, or simply take a fun class together, you're in excellent hands with Meaghan!

My husband and I got an extremely brave and energetic cattle dog puppy almost 2 months ago. She’s my first puppy ever in my life and, there’s no way that I would’ve been able to handle it without Meghan the lovely owner of this facility. When we walked through her doors for the first time, we were feeling like we’d bit off more than we could chew now we’re feeling confident, learning new things every day, and tackling how tricky it is to own a puppy, all of those things we wouldn’t have been able to do without her. Meghan is an incredible dog trainer! What I love about her is how she can meet each person where they’re at and explain what she’s doing and why so that myself, an unexperienced dog owner, understands. Shes endlessly joyful and patient, the facility is adorable and always clean and there’s always things to use and borrow if you forgot your own and I really appreciate that. We’ve attended puppy socials, adolescent, socials, and kindergarten at dog flower and I’d give every experience a 10 out of 10.
