Support your dog trainer by sharing your story

Megha immersed herself into the world of animal behavior after realizing the dog she adopted was reactive. Megha stepped into a career in animal welfare in 2020 to help animals, she decided to take the leap from pet food express to private training and discovered how rewarding it is to work so closely with owners and their dogs.
 
After working with a variety of dogs with a wide range of behavior issues (reactivity, defensive aggression, fear, anxiety, etc.), Megha received her KPA-CTP in 2022. She is constantly looking to expand her knowledge, while supporting and enriching the human-animal relationship. She believes that every team deserves time, patience, and understanding while embarking on their training journey.

Why I became a dog trainer:

I became a dog trainer so I could teach people how to deepen their connection and communication with their pet; improving both the owner and pet's quality of life. I love watching clients faces light up as they hit successful points and learn how fun training can be.

My favorite part of being a dog trainer:

Helping people connect with their dogs using positive reinforcement and force-free training methods.

My #1 dog training tip:

Don't compare your story to anyone else's. Don't downplay your successes, because someone seems better. Give your dog space to move at their own pace and then do the same for yourself.
