Meraki Dog Training

Building a community of stable dogs. 💜🐾 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 “when you know better, you do better.” 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.

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. 💜

Meraki Dog Training just keeps growing, and with that growth comes the chance to bring on more really cool, really amazing people. Our newest addition is Cydney Volker, and I am so excited about her!

Cydney is our new Client Services Coordinator. She’ll be helping with returning phone calls, returning emails, and responding to messages in any form they come in. She’ll also be helping schedule appointments, register people for classes, and handle so many other helpful things that will make Meraki Dog Training more efficient, more productive, and just all-around better.

I am thrilled to have her on the team….you’re going to love her!

Flynn is quite literally living his best life!

He and his mom have come through private training, group classes and they attend Meraki Pack Walks! This guy’s journey has been nothing short of amazing. His mom has put in the time, the work, the consistency and it shows. She’s as dedicated as they come, and Flynn is reaping every single benefit.

Now? He’s running off leash, confident, happy, and enjoying the freedom he’s earned.

A very sweet client surprised me with these adorable gifts at the end of class yesterday! They’re so unique and thoughtful….I mean, look at that little dog face and the treat jar! I seriously have the best clients. Thank you for making my day!

Another Level 2 crew, officially graduated!

This was our second Level 2 class to wrap up this week and these teams came ready. They showed up, they practiced, they asked thoughtful questions, and they worked. Hard.

Over the last few weeks, they didn’t just revisit the skills they already knew; they refined them. Reps, reps, and more reps. Then we added new challenges, new drills, and these dogs rose to the occasion.

Calmness? ✔️
Focus under distraction? ✔️
Real-life application? ✔️
Teamwork that made us proud? 100%.

I’m so proud of this group…..They absolutely crushed it. And of course we celebrated with pup cups!

Level Two Graduates!

These rockstar dogs just wrapped up our Level Two class tonight…and wow, what a journey! Each of them started their training in private sessions or group class and worked their way up to this next level.

Over the last four weeks, they’ve been reinforcing the foundational skills they learned early on, adding new layers of difficulty, working through distraction, and building on those skills with NEW skills and challenges.

They got to practice around other dogs, test their focus in the face of distraction, and grow their communication with their humans every step of the way. Their families worked hard, and we saw so much progress! And of course we celebrated with pup cups!

I’m so proud of this crew and all the good stuff that happened over the last month.

I’m missing these dogs fiercely. My beautiful Bristal passed away in October. My sweet Harley left me two weeks ago tomorrow. And the ache of their absence is loud and constant.

Something that I’ve often fallen short on is carving out personal time for my own dogs. I am 100% guilty of working so much that my dogs sometimes don’t get the adventures they deserve.

But that is going to change. Because I still have dogs who need adventures because they are HERE.

We’re getting out. We’re doing more.
We’re going to the water. We’re going to the parks. We are finding the trails. We’re LIVING.

And if you’re in that season of training where things are still hard behavior wise, keep working. Keep practicing. Soon you will look back and see all your hard work is paying off.

Train them….and then GO LIVE your best life with them.

Once you’ve taught your dog how to behave… GO!

Use the skills. Give them every opportunity to practice what you’ve taught them. Get out into the world. Let them explore. Let them play in the water, run on the trails, discover the parks.

Let them live.

Because they are only here for a short time. It’s shorter than we realize.

A wise trainer once said:

“Your dog thinks every day is his best day. Don’t let him down.”

So tell me…..what adventures are you going on with your dogs this week? Even if it’s something small, how are you going to make every day their best day?
