100% happy with working with Megan at the Stellar Dog! This was our first time having someone come to our house to help train one of our dogs and we had such a productive and fun time training our new puppy together! We learned so many helpful tips and methods and have been able to apply them on a daily basis. THANK YOU MEGAN!
Thoroughly enjoyed working with Megan. She not only is a dog trainer but an excellent people trainer too. I found so much of my behavior creates the dog's behavior. She is super personable, on time and communicates the schedule well. Great summaries emailed after the lessons with great toys she thinks our puppy would love and she was 100% correct on all of them.

Thank you for the high praise! It was great working with you and Bob and the amazing Goldie. You worked really hard with her and it showed - that's the most we trainers can ask for!
Meagan was awesome. She was patient with the dog as well as with me. Her directions were easy to follow as well as practical for my home and life. He follow up emails were extremely helpful!

Thanks Janie! Always fun working with sweet bb Cavaliers and experienced handlers such as yourself!
I can’t recommend Megan enough as a dog trainer. My dog was very reactive and would pull constantly on the leash, and Megan worked wonders with both issues. She was patient, attentive, and really receptive to our dog’s specific needs. We’ve seen such a big improvement, and I’m incredibly grateful for her help. We hope to continue working with her in the future.

Thank you Abhi! I really enjoyed working with you and Roxy. She's such a sweet dog and so lucky to have been adopted by your family. Wishing all the best on all your future adventures!
We didn’t have adding a new 8-week old Labrador Retriever puppy to our family in January on our bingo card, but it happened! This was not our first rodeo with having a dog, however, it was our first of raising a puppy as our other 2 dogs had been rescues/rehomes. We knew we needed some guidance!
After much research, we found The Stellar Dog! Megan was fantastic to work with. We loved that she built the training to our needs and came to our home. She was able to see our every day and understand the challenges we were experiencing. Our sweet Millie is 8 months and we knew the investment of our time to work with a trainer was so important as Millie is the center of our family!
Whether you are struggling with how to handle a puppy or need general obedience/relationship building with your dog, you need to connect with Megan at The Stellar Dog! You won’t regret it! All of our friends and neighbors have even commented that Millie is such a good girl there days! It’s thanks to
The Stellar Dog!
Megan, we are so thankful we found you! Millie and our family now have a strong foundation on which we will continue to build!

Janie - thank you so much! It was a pleasure working with you all. Millie is an amazing dog and it was great to see y'all working so well together. I couldn't be more pleased with the results!
We have a very spirited French bulldog/cavalier King Charles mix. Megan was our second trainer and the only one who could actually get Charli to listen and not attack everyone with love! She’s patient, creative and our pup responded so well to her! We should’ve started with Megan! Highly recommend.

Thanks Emily! "Spirited" is an understatement ;). Charli truly is a bundle of LOVE...it's hard to keep it all to herself. You all were so great to work with and I'm thrilled with Charli's progress. Keep up the great work.
Megan is a fantastic trainer - patient, professional, someone who really helped improve my dogs behavior and helped me interact with my dog more effectively.
We signed up for the in-home training program and found Megan's expertise and training results to be at a very high level. We are very pleased with how our German Shepherd responded to the training. I would strongly recommend Megan for anyone looking for dog trainer.

Thank you Greg. I really enjoyed working with you and Maggie! I'm thrilled that you are pleased with the results - you worked for them. Call me anytime for a "tune up" - it was a pleasure working with you both.
We shared with Megan a long list of behaviors of our large, young dog that we wanted to ameliorate and with Megan’s guidance, in less than two months, we have solutions for most and plans for the rest. She was always on time and communicative between sessions as needed (due to weather, etc.). Thanks Megan!

Thank you Dan! It was so much fun working with you and your family, eccentric cats included :) I was impressed how quickly Mishti picked up on the lessons given that she's a Great Pyrenees farm dog found as a stray and only just a year old. She did her best in every lesson and she's found the perfect kind and patient family with you!
This is the third time we have used the Stellar Dog training service. We had 3 different dogs from 7 month old to a seven year old! That should say it all! She really knows dogs. She sees some of their subtlety that I don’t even see. And she’s wonderful to work with!

Thank you Denise for the high praise! It's always a pleasure working with you too.
Megan is fantastic. My wife and I were experiencing some information overload in training our Vizsla puppy. Megan was great at cutting through the noise and providing hands on support for helping our puppy settle into our home. Highly recommend!

Thank you Carlos! The amount of dog training information available online is both a blessing and a curse. I'm glad for the opportunity to work with you face to face!
