Meghan is a wonderful trainer! I am a first time dog owner, my pup is a strong pitty mix, 3-4 years old and a rescue. I had no idea what June bug may struggle with when I first got her and I had no idea where to begin. I am so grateful I knew to come to Meghan. Meghan has given us such useful insight and advice. They have totally transformed the way I view my dog’s behavior and how to work through certain behaviors with her! The way they explain dog behavior and the simple suggestions they give made it so easy for me to understand as someone who has a rudimentary understanding of dog training! The training feels very simple and intuitive, yet has totally changed the way I handle stressful situations with June bug. We’ve been taking classes and the way the skills are ordered and build upon one another are so thoughtful and wise, yet I never would have begun with some of these skills. June bug is doing so well on walks, is so much more calm when she sees other dogs, and has disengaged with my kitty who she was VERY fixated on! Because of Meghan, I can feel more confident that I’m meeting junie’s needs and thus enabling our training success! She is improving with her obedience and recall in every way and it’s all thanks to Meghan! I am so glad I immediately brought my pup to Meghan and I can’t recommend dog flower enough!!

Meaghan is amazing!! We are so grateful her!! We rescued a 5 month old puppy that had no training, socialization or exposure to new things (environments, people, etc). Since working with Meaghan at Dog Flower, we have seen our little pup bloom into more confidence and shine with her new skills. Meaghan’s style of teaching works! She’s so good at adjusting to each individual dog’s needs in class and is so very creative with different approaches to achieve the common goal. Her husband has even volunteered to help with our pup’s goals to adjust to new people. I honestly can’t say enough about Meaghan!! She has made such a difference in our lives and has taught us so much to help our pup be happy and successful! She truly cares about the people and dogs she’s working with - she’s always thinking about ideas to help us and our pup. We’ve completed puppy kindergarten, individual at home and at the studio training, training at sniff spots, and are in the intermediate class now. Best time and money I’ve spent in a long time!
