We have had a great experience working with Dan and Megha. We utilized them for puppy training as well as managing issues that arose later on. They both provided such thoughtful, caring, and comprehensive support to our dog and our family. They were always responsive when needs came up and I appreciate that they sent follow-up videos and information after sessions. We learned so many tips for how to manage our high energy dog, as well as how to encourage the behaviors we want in a positive way.

We learned so much and our puppy enjoyed every class. The trainers really understand dogs and match the training to each dog and their owners. We are looking forward to our next sessions!

Today Finnegan triumphantly graduated from puppy 101. He learned and mastered many basic puppy training commands. I highly recommend Out of the Bark, they did amazingly well to help my puppy be acceptable around others.

Absolutely amazing! Went through their puppy 2 class and would highly recommend. Hes such a better behaved dog now and the instructor was absolutely fantastic. Very well paced, and when he graduated he got the cutest plush toy (of course he chose the one bigger then him!)

We couldn’t be more grateful for Out of the Bark. Megha is truly one of a kind and has gone above and way beyond to help us with puppy training. She quickly became one of our puppy’s (and our!) favorite people and helped us work through resource guarding, crate training, reactivity and much more providing tips and tricks along the way for it all. We trust Megha with everything and couldn’t recommend her more to anyone who’s looking for training, or even just to someone who wants to learn more about what it’s like to get a dog — she is so deeply knowledgeable. There is no one else who compares to the level of care she has for both the dogs she works with and her clients. Megha has been with us through every step of the way in our puppy journey, through all the ups and downs, and without her guidance we’d be lost. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you Megha and Out of the Bark for everything, but especially for being so incredibly thoughtful and caring in your training approach.
