I’m Meredith! I decided to start dog walking, boarding and training after realizing that dog owners could be in the same boat that I was in years ago: stressed and unconfident. My dogs and I had a poor foundation and lacked a bond. Throughout the past 6 years in the training industry, I have learned how to create stronger relationships with my current dogs and clients’ dogs. I hope that I get the chance to help you form a more solid and fun connection with your dog. In 2016, I officially started working with dogs. I worked at various dog daycare centers and slowly learned more about dog training structure, dog behavior, and how to build a relationship with a dog. During the time I worked at the dog daycare structured by Chad Makin, I was introduced to the proper training tools and education that came with them. I gained hands-on experience with dogs of all sizes and behavioral issues. I began working at Unleashed Pet Rescue in 2020, where I received copious amounts of firsthand knowledge. My experience comes from fostering behavioral issue dogs that had backgrounds ranging from bite records, dog aggression, fear aggression, and reactivity to later helping customers find a new family friend. Being an adoption counselor is my inspiration to start the service Rescue Me! – to help place a dog in the best home possible. My personal dogs were a huge start to my training journey as well! Pretzel and I had to work diligently to form a new relationship and to help work on her reactivity. We currently are training for dock diving and disc trick training. Banshee is my service dog, who I’ve raised since she was 8 weeks old. I was able to apply my experience to her training and now Banshee is a well-rounded service dog. I have also taken various classes from Michael Ellis, such as: ​ · Teaching Engagement and Relationship Building ​ · Obedience Training ​ · Everyday Management I’m also looking to expand my education to better myself. I look forward to being able to meet you and your pup!
