Meraki Dog Training

Meraki Dog Training Building a community of stable dogs. šŸ’œšŸ¾ Or maybe you aren’t struggling yet and want to be proactive….either way, I can help you.

At Meraki Dog Training, I know that your dog is an extremely valuable member of your family and that when you start struggling with your dog, it can very quickly become a giant frustration where you don’t know what to do. As an owner of two dogs and a foster of many others, I know at a very personal level how difficult it can be to find the right training for your dog. I have experienced and dealt

with a vast array of behavioral issues but here at Meraki, the training is effective and applicable to any behavioral issue, whether it be serious or minor. The very definition of Meraki is to do something with soul, creativity or love; to put something of yourself into your work. And that is what this is for me….this is more than training dogs. This work has meaning and to me it means keeping dogs in families. And it is the heart and soul of what I do. I too have failed animals in the past due to a lack of knowledge, but as Maya Angelo says ā€œwhen you know better, you do better.ā€ That is my goal with this training company….to help pass along what I know to you, so that you too can do better for your dog because these creatures need us and we need them.

Look at these dogs showing up and putting in the work…and they have graduated!

This is our Level 1 class for dogs 6 months and up (Show Me What To Do)… where we stop guessing and start giving dogs clear direction.

They came in with real-life challenges and their owners were ready to do something about it. They showed up, they practiced, they stayed consistent, and it shows.

Clear communication… better leash control… more accountability in everyday situations. We never expect perfection, but we do see real skills develop that you they can use in the real world.

These dogs aren’t just going through the motions anymore… their owners understand how to truly help them.

And of course we celebrated it the right way with pup cups!

Real dogs, real distractions, real progress.

Look at these pups stepping into the next stage and graduating!

This is our Level 1 puppy class (Teach Me All The Things) for puppies 4–6 months old… where they start learning how to actually navigate the world.

They showed up ready to go and they put in the work. They practiced, they stayed consistent, and it shows.

Leash skills… communication… learning how to navigate real-life situations. Not perfection… but progress you can actually use outside the classroom.

Now they head out into the real world with tools that make life easier.

And of course… we never miss a pup cup celebration!

Real dogs, real distractions, real progress.

Look at these little tinies heading out into the world. These are our little Puppy Preschool graduates!

They experienced new people. They were around other puppies. They started learning how to exist in a world that’s a little bigger than their living room.

No pressure…no perfection…just exposure, guidance, and a whole lot of learning for both ends of the leash.

The humans:
They walked away with real information… how to handle biting, routines, kenneling, and what actually matters in these early weeks.

The puppies:
A few new skills… and a solid start.

And of course…we wrapped it up with pup cups!

Real puppies, real beginnings, real progress.

If you’ve got a young puppy and you’re not sure where to start… this is it.

Guys, we did it again….. #1 in the Lincoln Choice Awards for the second year in a row!!

I’m so excited, so honored, so proud….and so incredibly grateful.

I don’t take this lightly. From day one, my goal has been to provide the highest quality, real-life dog training possible, and I will continue to give everything I’ve got to this growing little business.

Every client, every class, every referral… you’re the reason we’re here. None of this would be possible without each and every one of you who has walked through the doors over the years.

From the bottom of my heart, thank you for supporting this dream and trusting me with your dogs. All of me loves all of you!

We’re hiring at Meraki Dog Training!!!

We’re looking for someone confident, outgoing, and comfortable working with people….not just dogs, but coaching people through training their dogs.

This is a part-time role (1–5 hours/week) with late afternoon, evening, and some weekend availability required.

You don’t need dog training experience…we will teach you everything you need to know. But you do need to be:
• clear and confident when speaking
• possess a fun, engaging presence in front of a group
• willing to learn and fully represent our training system

This role requires confidence leading and directing groups. Preference will be given to candidates with prior coaching, teaching, or group instruction experience (experience does not need to be dog training-related).

If you love dogs but love working with people even more, this could be a great fit!

If you’re interested, please email [email protected] with a little information about your teaching or coaching experience and why you think you’d be a good fit for this role.

Even our littlest dogs need training too. Look at this little guy go.

Adult Class Graduates!!

Real dogs.
Real distractions.
Real progress.

These guys came in ready to work, and we did just that. We worked on leash skills, training that isn’t dependent on food, impulse control around real-life triggers, teaching dogs how to slow down and think, and learning how to control excitement around other dogs and people.

We’re not chasing perfect behavior.
We’re building dogs that can function in the real world.

The progress they all made is impressive. I couldn’t be prouder of them!
