Meraki Dog Training

Meraki Dog Training Building a community of stable dogs. šŸ’œšŸ¾ Or maybe you aren’t struggling yet and want to be proactive….either way, I can help you.

At Meraki Dog Training, I know that your dog is an extremely valuable member of your family and that when you start struggling with your dog, it can very quickly become a giant frustration where you don’t know what to do. As an owner of two dogs and a foster of many others, I know at a very personal level how difficult it can be to find the right training for your dog. I have experienced and dealt

with a vast array of behavioral issues but here at Meraki, the training is effective and applicable to any behavioral issue, whether it be serious or minor. The very definition of Meraki is to do something with soul, creativity or love; to put something of yourself into your work. And that is what this is for me….this is more than training dogs. This work has meaning and to me it means keeping dogs in families. And it is the heart and soul of what I do. I too have failed animals in the past due to a lack of knowledge, but as Maya Angelo says ā€œwhen you know better, you do better.ā€ That is my goal with this training company….to help pass along what I know to you, so that you too can do better for your dog because these creatures need us and we need them.

Tuesday Tip: Don’t Skip the Rain!

You guys know how big I am on socialization….and you also know that when we talk about socialization, we don’t mean meeting other dogs. True socialization means exposing your puppy to everything they’ll encounter in life… and that includes the weather!

If it’s raining, don’t hide inside. Take advantage of it! Bring your puppy out to explore the wet grass, sniff the soggy sticks, and play a little. Make it no big deal. When you treat the rain as normal and fun, your puppy learns that it’s just part of life…..which means you’re way less likely to have a dog that refuses to potty when it’s wet out.

And today it’s raining so go outside and play in it!

Make it fun, make it positive, and help your puppy build confidence no matter the weather!

And yes… the two foster pups I have right now think wet sticks are the best thing ever.

These amazing dogs and their owners just wrapped up our most recent round of training classes!! And per our usual, pup cups on graduation day were in order!

Over the past few weeks, they’ve been working hard on building skills, strengthening communication, and gaining the confidence to take what they’ve learned out into the real world.

At Meraki Dog Training, we focus on more than just obedience in a controlled space. We love using treats, but our training goes further - giving owners the tools they need to actually work with their dogs through distractions, in public, and in everyday life.

These teams are leaving with real-world skills and a solid foundation for success. We can’t wait to see all they accomplish out there in the world!

Our next round of classes starts this coming Sunday September 28, 2025. Text or call (402)429-5279 to get one of the remaining spots!

These awesome dogs just wrapped up their LEVEL TWO class here at Meraki Dog Training! They came to us to keep practicing the skills they learned in either private training or group class….and in these past 4 weeks, they picked up some brand-new skills too.

Each one of these dogs has worked so hard with their owners and made huge progress. We couldn’t be more proud of the dedication and effort they’ve put in.

As always, we celebrated in true Meraki style-with pup cups and graduation certificates!! And then just like that, we sent them off ready to take their skills into the real world.

We can’t wait to hear about all of their adventures and see how they keep building on the training foundation they’ve created!

Just one week ago, these little ones wrapped up their very first puppy class with us….and what an incredible journey it was! And per tradition, we celebrated with pup cups!

They learned, they practiced, and they walked out the door with brand-new skills. Many are already back in our Level 2 class, building on those foundations and continuing to grow.

We feel so lucky to be part of the very beginning of their training journeys. Watching puppies come in wide-eyed and then leave with new skills is such a privilege. Thank you to all of the families who trust us to guide you and your dogs. šŸ’œ
