MeritDog Training & Services

Popcorn and I recently completed obedience training with Merit at MeritDog, and I wanted to recommend the experience highly. From the start, Merit conducted a thoughtful, thorough assessment of Popcorn’s unique needs. As a master trainer, Merit understood Popcorn’s particular anxieties and knew exactly how to help her feel at ease. Popcorn’s confidence grew with each session, and I could see her excitement every time we arrived for a session. Through a structured approach, Popcorn’s anxiety significantly decreased, and I gained the skills to support her for life. Merit’s approach doesn’t just transform the dog—it also evolves the owner. I learned so much about both Popcorn’s behavior and my own, and, honestly, I often left each session just as tired as Popcorn! Reflecting on our progress, I realize I’ve grown as an owner thanks to Merit’s expert, personalized training. The facility itself is spotless and thoughtfully maintained, providing a safe, comfortable environment for learning and socialization. If you’re looking for professional, effective training that truly addresses the individual needs of your dog, I highly recommend Merit and MeritDog. This is a place that genuinely cares about your pet and helps both you and your dog succeed.

Merit really knows dogs. She is very knowledgeable, and it shows. Her staff love your dog like it's their own. Merit is always great at being available, and the boarding process is seamless and easy. We signed our puppy up for her training program, as we were new dog owners with young kids. We gained a lot of insight, and we credit the training program to our dog thriving in our home. Merit was always available, and willing to offer advice as our puppy went from puppy to teenager. Our dog gets visibly excited when he notices we are on our way to boarding or daycare. Only other place he gets that excited is home 💚 Call Merit if you are looking for a safe place for your fluffball. We trust them, and are so thankful to have found her and her staff.

We’re back!! 17 years ago Merit trained my chihuahua and beagle. The training stayed with them their entire lives. I love the firm but positive approach she uses. Recently we got a new puppy and I knew right away she had to go to MeritDog! We now have a mannerly and obedient puppy. MeritDog offers many “after school” options that we are taking advantage of like daycare and playdates. Her employees have the same heart for dogs and we trust them all with our baby. Meritdog - Simply the best.
