Willie with Kahlua
When you get a new puppy, and you're unfamiliar with a breed that offers so many challenges, an owner's biggest challenge is the fear of the unknown.
Working with Megan changed fear to calm rather quickly. Upon meeting Megan, and seeing her working with her own dog, it was quite clear she understand the nuances of a Dachshund. But it was beyond her knowledge of the breed itself, but her appreciation for what owners needed to learn as well.
If I were to refer Megan to a friend, I would explain first and foremost that her title should be Dog Owner Educator. She doesn't train your dog, she educates owners on how to train their dogs. While she is capable of taking your dog for personal training, it behooves anyone hiring her to train WITH her. Megan instills an understanding of how dog owners can interact with their pups efficiently.
Long after having Megan to our home for our training, her impact continues months afterward, as I will still go back to our fundamentals, at least once a week with one-word commands, reminding Kahlua of his basics. As Kahlua turns 1, I can say much of his socialization and behavioral skills stem from what Megan offered and/or suggested during our training. I'm certainly thankful for our time with her and highly advise anyone looking for someone to educate them on being a dog owner to retain The Motivated Mutt.
Meghan with Pepper
We can’t say enough AMAZING things about Megan, both as a dog trainer and as a person! She immediately connects with both you and your dog(s) and gives such great practical advice on actually understanding why your dog does what they do and how we as dog owners can better connect with our dogs. Once she helps you understand your dog, she shows you how to instill politeness, behaviors, and fun tricks that you desire. She not only trains dogs but trains owners, which is the best part in our book! We feel like we actually understand and enjoy time with our dog now that she knows polite behaviors and we know how to bring them out in a healthy way. She also worked with our crazy work schedule and gave us tips for helping our dog adjust to our new baby on the way! We can’t thank Megan enough and recommend the Motivated Mutt to any dog owner!

Kathleen with Pickles
If you are wondering which of the many dog trainers to go with in town pick Megan with The Motivated Mutt. She is highly knowledgeable, supportive and a hard worker. She believes in using methods that are effective, and will help you create a better relationship with your dog. Raising a puppy, getting a rescue dog, or a new dog, can be overwhelming! I am so glad I found her. I have learned so much from her!
Emily with Franny
Megan has been such a good resource and so supportive as a trainer for me and my dog Franny. Looking back at all the progress Franny has made since I picked her up at the shelter makes me feel like our training journey is well worth the work. Megan has been so helpful in helping me understand how to pay attention to Franny’s behavior and keep her under threshold around her triggers, and she’s always there to help us celebrate when I text her our little and big training wins. I would definitely recommend her as a trainer!!
