Learn and train where the behaviors you need help with are happening, at home!
Our one-on-one coaching sessions teach you the skills you need to feel confident and capable while training your dog, and are completely tailored to fit the needs of both you and your dog.
We can also work in public locations, depending on your dog training goals.
Busy schedule? Need an extra hand with training your dog or puppy? We've got you covered! Enroll your best friend in our Home School Sessions and let us take the load off of you!
While you'll still receive guidance and instructions to follow at home between training sessions, our Certified Professional Dog Trainer will train your dog independently to accelerate progress.
Online dog training is just as effective as in person training, and means that we can work with you and your pup from anywhere in the world!
Online dog training and behavior consulting is immersive and engaging. We use videos, live coaching, written resources, and more, so you can be sure you'll have all the tools you need to learn and train your dog successfully.
Personalized
You and your dog have unique needs that deserve specialized attention. Youβll receive a completely individualized program to not only suit the needs of your dog, but also meet YOUR needs.
Sustainable
Life gets busy! Together we'll find solutions that fit your schedule and lifestyle without adding stress to your daily life. Weβre here to help with practical and easily implementable dog training strategies whether you have 5 minutes a day to train or youβre a total behavior nerd.

You deserve positive reinforcement based learning, too! We're here to support your growth and learning. When you work with Train Your Dog, you'll be in a learning environment free from judgement and full of encouragement. We value your progress over perfection, and we're on your team!
Fear Free
You and your pup are our top priority, and we want you both to feel great about the training and behavior modification journey! We use the most up-to-date, ethical dog training methods that won't scare, hurt, or intimidate your dog. We're proud to train without the use of prong or shock collars.
Don't worry, we also won't judge you for your current or past use of these tools or methods. We know dog guardians are doing the best they can with the information they have, and that you care about your dog. You wouldn't be here otherwise!
If you're looking for a kind and compassionate trainer to be your guide on your behavior or training journey, you've found us! We can't wait to help you with your dog.
βOur pups have been working weekly with Megan. We had aggression issues with one pup showing guarding. She has worked absolute wonders with them and things are so much better. More importantly, we are learning how to manage the situation & we have peace again at home.β

"I love Megan! My Anatolian rescue is putting on a harness with ease. Before he would run & it would take 15 minutes of wrestling, if I didnβt just give up. He is loading in the car. I used to have to get the neighbor to lift him in. If you need a trainer, you NEED Megan!!"

βMeganβs services are way beyond insightful AND helpful! Her practical, common-sense approach and training methods are simple to comprehend and easy to practice on my own time.β

Megan became a dog trainer after being in your shoes! Over a decade ago, she ended up with an extremely fearful and reactive German Shepherd named Jojo. She knew that Jojo needed help, and stumbled upon clicker training. Megan fell in love with positive reinforcement dog training, and knew she had to pursue a career in animal behavior.
She quit her waitressing job and started working at the Austin Humane Society in 2012 as an adoption counselor. She later became the Lead Behavior and Enrichment Specialist, and had the pleasure of creating a comprehensive enrichment and behavior modification program for the shelter. She led volunteer groups, worked with countless dogs with behavior issues, and created training plans and resources everyday. Over the next 6 years she went on to manage the Bastrop Animal Shelter, then worked at Austin Animal Center as a Behavior and Enrichment Specialist .
In 2018 she decided to part ways from the animal shelter world and start Train Your Dog LLC. Megan loves teaching and coaching dog guardians, and canβt wait to help you and your dog reach your full potential.
We believe in positivity and kindness in our dog training methods, and in our community.
Train Your Dog celebrates differences, and creates a safe space for everyone regardless of race, gender identity, sexual orientation, or beliefs. We are proud to support the rights of everyone in our community including people of color, the LGBTQIA+ community, and people living with disabilities.
In addition to supporting local animal causes, a portion of our profits goes to nonprofits and causes who advocate for equality and help people in need.
