    Noodle

    "Working with Meaghan at Dog Flower has been so empowering and enriching for both us and our new canine bestie, Noodle. We adopted Noodle as an adult rescue guy and have felt so blessed to be guided by Meaghan as we welcome him into our home and routine. Presented with separation anxiety and a high level of general anxiety, we have found so much comfort and most of all- improvement in our training relationship! Introducing a new family member can be so stressful, and there is so much information out there about what you’re supposed to do and not do- having professional guidance you can trust makes all the difference. I have no doubt we will bring Meaghan in any time we adopt from now on."

    Ari

    “We’ve been working with Meaghan, of Dog Flower, on and off since our dog, Ari, was a lil puppy. That was six years ago! We first brought Ari to a puppy preschool class taught by Meaghan… Dog Flower 🌺 offers so many options for training, socializing, and engaging your dog. We’re presently signed up the “at home day training” service…
    Ari absolutely loves Meaghan and is always so happy after their visits.
    I highly recommend Meaghan @ Dog Flower to anyone who is looking for professional training, care , behavioral support, insight and guidance for their dog. From puppies to elders. Meaghan has a true gift 🌟🌟🌟”
