Peppers the Mystery Mutt
“Peppers was reactive towards strangers and dogs. Meg helped us work with his vet to identify that he had a painful knee injury. With her training help, we can now have other dogs and people visit again! She even helped us integrate our new baby safely.”

River and Chancho the Border Collies
“Meg is a godsend. My 16 year old border collie needs meds frequently and is reactive on a leash and mistrustful of strangers. Our dog took to her right away - honestly never thought I’d be ok with leaving my soul dog behind with any one other than family till we met Meg.”
