Miri has helped us understand our dog Djuna Barnes — Miri is so intuitively keyed in to who dogs are and what they need. She’s the best trainer we’ve ever seen

Working with Miri has been an absolute game-changer for us. I specifically chose her because I wanted a trainer who genuinely had a deep, individual passion for animals, and she exceeded every expectation. She truly loves what she does, and my dog adored her. He was always so excited whenever she arrived!
Miri is professional, personable, and completely transparent about her methods with no hidden secrets or confusing techniques. She teaches you step-by-step how to reinforce behaviors on your own and even backs up her sessions with clear written resources and videos. If you want a trainer who empowers both you and your dog, hire Miri 😊

Miri is a great dog/people trainer who loves dogs! She has made a huge difference in my reactive rescue dog's behavior by really analyzing my dogs personality, genetic predisposition, age and history. She adjusts training as necessary for the particular environment and reactions from my pup. She is constantly evaluating and adapting to my dog's individual needs as she uses a very interactive and hands on approach. She is so loving and kind with both of us and really cares. She is very sensitive and realistic about training which serves as lifelong knowledge for both of us. Thank you Miri!

Miri has been an amazing dog trainer for Buddy and I. She’s super knowledgeable about dog psychology and really understands why dogs do the things they do, which has helped me understand Buddy a lot better too. She’s also very accommodating and understanding of my disability, which means a lot and makes the whole experience way less stressful 🤙🏽
Since Buddy isn’t fully vaccinated yet, she’s gone out of her way to safely help socialize him. She even wheeled him around the dog park in her rolling cart so he could watch and get used to other dogs from a safe distance.
She’s also taken Buddy and I to places like Home Depot and Petco with Buddy in a cart so he could safely experience new environments, sounds, people, and smells while still being protected. You can tell she genuinely cares about the dogs she works with and wants them to build confidence the right way. I highly recommend Miri to anyone looking for a trainer who really understands dogs and puts real effort into helping them succeed.
