FirstBarkMaria and Megan are both fantastic trainers. They are incredibly knowledgable and skilled, and do a wonderful job training not only dogs, but their people too! Maria recently worked with my pup at day training on body handling and some fear issues, and it has been an amazing experience. We're going to be back for some group classes for sure!

I have two current (and one past) rescue dogs with "challenges". I have known and worked with Megan since 2010. In my opinion, Megan is the most skilled trainer in the greater Burlington area. If you have one of those dogs that makes you say "Well, the FIRST trainer we met...." ... call Megan! And if you just starting a search for a trainer, call Megan so that you get it right the first time. Whether your dog has "issues" or you are just looking for a good foundation of basic kills, Megan will help you and your dog(s).
Megan is a wonderful trainer and very easy to work with.
Megan is fantastic! She has a solid understanding of dog behavior and training. She has been wonderful with providing direction for training problems. Whenever someone needs help in the area, I tell everyone about Megan.
