“Meaghan is an incredible dog trainer and lovely human. My very anxious, slightly reactive German Shepherd is absolutely in love with them, and they've been incredibly kind an accommodating with me. The at home day training is an incredible service at a great value! Meaghan goes above and beyond with photos, videos, detailed report cards, and links to training resources and products (treats, harnesses etc.) Meaghan is knowledgeable, personable, organized, and responsive. I've seen vast improvement in my dog's anxiety (and my own as a result of being confident in my skills being a good dog mom!) They've even incorporated my toddler into our trainings to help my dog deal with his protective anxiety and Meaghan has been so kind to offer things in alternate formats/provide resources through a variety of mediums. I can't recommend Dog Flower enough.”

“Randomly came across Dog Flower while scrolling TikTok one day… True story! I really liked Meaghan’s vibe And decided to sign my puppy up for some training. I’ve never been to a dog trainer. I did not know what to expect. However, seeing my dog change some of his undesired behaviors using the skills we learned has been so good for all of us! The class structure is easy to follow with great examples and a chance to practice in session. Every class is followed up with notes from the class and “homework“ so we can continue because consistency creates the desired behaviors that we’re looking for. Even though it was a bit of a drive to get there from where I’m located… It was well worth it in my opinion. I’m looking forward to heading back for the next level of classes sometime soon.”

“Meaghan is such a wonderful trainer and educator! My partner and I have been taking our youngest dog to the adolescent class and we can already see so much improvement in her social skills. I can't wait to get her enrolled in another class and possibly my older dog as well to brush up on her skills! Meaghan is so kind and you can tell they truly care about a dog's overall behavioral health. (:”

“Our experience at Dog Flower was excellent! My dog Rosie absolutely loves Meaghan and gets so excited each time we walk through the door. I've worked with several dog trainers over the years and Meaghan by far is the best, offering doable exercises, clear instructions and explanations, and plenty of encouragement (for both me and Rosie, who is 6 and is still very eager to learn). I'd highly recommend Dog Flower to anyone looking for dog training!”

“I have worked with Mae for many years and, beyond their skill and experience working with dogs, I love the patience with which they help both people and dogs to learn and improve their communication and relationships.

I am so happy that I have Mae and Dog Flower as a resource as I navigate my first new puppy in 11 years. I don’t know what I would do without their support and assistance!”

“Meaghan is a wonderful trainer! I am a first time dog owner, my pup is a strong Pitty mix, 3-4 years old and a rescue. I had no idea what Junebug may struggle with when I first got her and I had no idea where to begin. I am so grateful I knew to come to Meaghan. Meaghan has given us such useful insight and advice. They have totally transformed the way I view my dog’s behavior and how to work through certain behaviors with her! The way they explain dog behavior and the simple suggestions they give made it so easy for me to understand as someone who has a rudimentary understanding of dog training! The training feels very simple and intuitive, yet has totally changed the way I handle stressful situations with Junebug. We’ve been taking classes and the way the skills are ordered and build upon one another are so thoughtful and wise, yet I never would have begun with some of these skills. June bug is doing so well on walks, is so much more calm when she sees other dogs, and has disengaged with my kitty who she was VERY fixated on! Because of Meaghan, I can feel more confident that I’m meeting Junie’s needs and thus enabling our training success! She is improving with her obedience and recall in every way and it’s all thanks to Meghan! I am so glad I immediately brought my pup to Meaghan and I can’t recommend dog flower enough!!”
