Lincoln Dog Training

We love working with Meghan to train our puppy. She is an expert in what she does and goes above and beyond to provide a weekly training plan, answer all questions, and follow up with written material to enable practice at home. The advantage of a private trainer is that she tailors each lesson to our goals and helps us specifically with troubleshooting issues and ensuring best practices in our training approach for faster training. Meghan is upbeat, smart, pragmatic and flexible - rather than adhering to a rigid training philosophy, she tailors approaches to what works best for the parent/puppy combo. She has even been working with our 11 year old son to help him learn to train the dog. Meghan is clearly doing this not as “just a job” but because she loves her work and truly cares about the puppies and owners she helps. I am not sure who enjoys working with Meghan more - me or the dog! Something to look forward to every week. Highly recommend!

Meghan is an empathetic and helpful coach on how to train your dog Her advice is practical, detailed and every consult built our confidence and knowledge She was an immense help and I recommend her highly We have had Meghan follow up with us periodically over the 3 years when we first worked with her. Each time we learn new things and our dog’s behavior has vastly improved thanks to Meghan’s guidance and useful suggestions.

Meghan has been an incredible trainer and support for our puppy, Hazel. She took the time to understand Hazel’s personality and gave us practical, easy-to-follow steps that worked immediately. Her approach is calm, clear, and focused on building confidence, not just obedience. She helped us turn stressful walks into fun, positive experiences. Her “3-2-1, Let’s Go!” technique got Hazel moving forward without fear. Her advice on crate training, jumping, and staying off the couch made daily life so much smoother. What stands out most is her patience and ability to explain why each step matters. She didn’t just train Hazel. She trained us to be better owners. We left with clear guidance and real confidence. If you’re looking for someone who truly cares about your dog’s progress and your experience, Meghan is exceptional. Highly recommend.

Our family is so grateful to have found Meghan and Lincoln Dog Training. From the very first session in our home, Meghan connected instantly with our Cavalier King Charles Spaniel puppy. She listened to our concerns and goals and came up with a clear plan. Within a day she sent us a wonderful welcome packet complete with training plans, links to videos and treats/toy recommendations. We now work with her on a weekly basis and can already see the positive results of her training plans. Cavaliers are known for being sweet but sometimes a little stubborn, and Meghan knows exactly how to work with that gentle temperament while still setting firm, clear boundaries. Meghan is helping us with everything from basic commands, potty training, leash walks, crate training and separation for when we have to leave the house—and always with positive reinforcement and lots of patience. Overall, Meghan is just a delight to be around and our family really enjoys each session. What really stands out is Meghan’s ability to tailor the training to our puppy’s specific needs and her willingness to work in our environment. Meghan goes above and beyond and continues to give us tons of helpful tips and homework between sessions that are clear and easy to follow. We feel so lucky to have found Meghan and look forward to working together in the future.

I am delighted to highly recommend Meghan at Lincoln Dog Training. She is an exceptional instructor who carefully observed our puppy's behavioral issues. After a thorough assessment, she developed a creative plan to address these problems. Meghan excels in her listening and teaching skills. Before leaving, she ensured that I could effectively apply the training techniques and that our puppy responded positively. Our pup, who is quite skittish and unpredictable, immediately warmed up to her and transformed right before our eyes. If you have a dog with behavioral problems, I strongly recommend working with Meghan. She is truly amazing!
