Ollie | Lab Mix
“Ollie went from being an unruly pup to a highly motivated, highly trainable dog during Megan’s training course! I love that the training was personalized to my dog’s needs and my personal behavioral preferences. In addition to learning how to teach the specific behaviors I want from Ollie, I learned more about how dogs learn in general, which will help me continue training her throughout her life.
I have already recommended Megan at Speak Fido to 2 friends who have also been really excited about their dogs’ progress and I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking to teach their dog anything from basic obedience to specialized tricks and skills.”

Baxter | Golden Retriever
“Megan has been amazing in helping me learn how to train my 1 year old retriever, Baxter! He’s made such progress!
This year he grew up in relative isolation. Learning how to socialize him with control and good manners, was a big goal.Megan has been very patient with us, reinforcing skills and techniques. I always felt encouraged and positive by Megan. She customizes training to what’s important to each person and coming to our home was greatly appreciated. Baxter and I love Megan, and highly recommend her!”

Lily | Cattle Dog Mix
” We adopted an 11-year-old cattle dog mix. She was very sweet to us at home, but very difficult on walks: leash pulling, leash aggression, aggression toward other dogs, and the tendency to ignore us when we called her if she was interested in something else (a wild animal, another dog, etc.). Her behavior was confusing and upsetting for us. After she attacked a dog on a public walking path outside our house, we called Megan.
After our very first training session with Megan, we began to see big improvements in Lily’s behavior. She started listening better, stopped pulling so hard on the leash, and became less reactive around other dogs. Megan gave us “homework” to practice with Lily between each session.
The training was fun for all of us (including Lily!) and extremely educational for us as her owners. The process equipped us with the knowledge we needed to understand why our dog was acting the way she was, and the skills we needed to help Lily feel calm, safe, and secure.Over six training sessions, Megan helped us build trust and confidence in our dog. Now, Lily’s leash manners are wonderful, we know how to prevent her aggression toward other dogs, and she always comes when we call her. We couldn’t be happier with the results of our training! “

I would highly recommend Megan from Speak Fido. We were at loss at how to work with our highly anxious Lulu. Megan gave us the skills, hope and success with her amazing understanding of dogs. She was very respectful of us regarding our lack of knowledge. She is like a dog psychologist! Thank you Megan!”

Who says you can’t teach an old dog new tricks? Our senior rescue beagle LOVED classes with Megan! He learned so many useful things like polite greetings, improved his leash walking skills, and so many other helpful things that has made a huge improvement in his behavior. After graduation we were able to take him to a stadium full of people and he was so well behaved! These classes are a great value and solid investment into you and your dog.”
– Candice, Cashmere
Wow! Working with Megan has made such a difference! We have a crazy household of dogs – an older chihuahua and 2 Boston Terrier youngsters. Needless to say, we needed some help. Megan is so patient and caters the training to the needs of your dogs. We began to see improvement immediately in our dogs and it felt good when guests to our home noticed as well. Well worth it!!!!”

Megan is a wonderful dog trainer! She is highly organized and uses every minute of your session to train you and your dog. Sunny showed signs of improvement on her first session and continued to improve through the course of her training. I learned how to walk her without being pulled the entire time and how to handle her interaction with other dogs not only on the leash but in our own yard too. I feel like I have all the tools to walk Sunny confidently!
