We cannot say enough good things about Megan and the impact she's had on our dog, Padfoot. He's a…read morecoonhound--so if you know, you know: hyper, stubborn, and extremely vocal. When we first came to Megan, we were overwhelmed and frustrated. Padfoot pulled like a freight train on the leash and barked at absolutely everything. Walks were chaos, and quiet moments in the house were few and far between. Megan worked wonders with him. She gave us practical tools and taught us how to better understand and communicate with Padfoot. She never promised an overnight miracle (because that's not how dogs--or people--work), but what she did promise was that if we did the work, we'd see results. And she was absolutely right. Thanks to her guidance, Padfoot's leash manners have drastically improved, and we've seen a huge reduction in his barking. On top of that, he's boarded with Megan, and when he came home, he was the best behaved he's ever been. Calm, happy, focused--like he'd just come back from a doggy bootcamp/spa hybrid. One of the things we love most about Megan is how deeply she cares. She genuinely loves dogs and loves helping people build better relationships with their pets. It's obvious in the way she interacts with them, how patient and encouraging she is, and how invested she is in each dog's progress. She celebrates your wins with you, no matter how small, and makes you feel like you're not alone in the process. Now, I've seen some reviews on here claiming Megan doesn't know what she's doing. That's honestly nonsense. If someone expects their dog to magically behave without doing any of the follow-up work Megan recommends, then of course they won't see lasting results. It's not about outsourcing your dog's behavior--it's about learning to be a consistent, supportive leader for your pup, and Megan gives you the tools to do just that. Padfoot loves her, we love her, and we'd recommend her to anyone who wants to build a better relationship with their dog. Just be ready to do your part--because Megan will absolutely do hers.

I figure I should name the breed up front, because I…read morewas looking for other doodle people when I perused dog training reviews and ultimately went with Amanda at ABQ Bark University. I wanted to hear from someone who knew my struggle, man. The struggle of owning a dog that everyone else thinks is a bad animal. The struggle of a dog who gets spooked by strangers, strange dogs, strange sounds, strange places. It's not her fault, it's how she's wired, and as Amanda explained, I could, over time, rewire her. That's what we've been doing over the last five lessons; No shock collars, no strict scolding, just a slow reintroduction to the world she'd learned to fear. Lots of teensy, tiny treats, plenty of praise, and an easing of the natural world around her. Five lessons and we're in a spot where I'm feeling ready to send Tillie to group classes, to socialize her and improve her confidence so that, someday, everyone else will know just how incredibly sweet and loving she is. So is Amanda worth it? Absolutely. She has me writing my first review in years. That's saying something, right?
