FirstBarkMae offered incredible advice and support when it came to me being a new dog mom. They are patient, kind and have so much insight and knowledge with not only my puppy but all of the pups I saw at their facility as well. We owe so much to Mae for helping us workout out anxiety/separation issues. We can’t recommend them enough!

Meaghan is incredible. They have had a huge positive impact on both of my dogs, two high-energy Australian shepherds. For more than a decade, my family and I have trusted Meaghan with day care, boarding, socialization, and training. Most recently, they helped my dog, Joey, with puppy socialization, basic training and commands in a group setting, as well as private lessons designed to improve recall. Meaghan has it all — an extraordinary gift and ability to connect with dogs and their owners, combined an ongoing desire to keep learning and improving to be the best trainer possible.

Im so so grateful for Mae! They have given me so much help with my pup Sadie. When I first adopted her, everything was new and overwhelming for her and honestly I didn’t know where to start. Mae’s knowledge has helped me understand what Sadie was trying to communicate, showed us how to move at a pace that felt safe for her, and never made us feel rushed or discouraged. Because of their guidance, Sadie has come so far and finally feels more comfortable in her new life. Mae is awesome, and I can’t recommend them and Dog Flower enough! 🖤🖤

Years ago when I entered a relationship with a man who had two very untrained dogs, I asked Meaghan for help. Back then, they brought issues to my attention that I would have never even considered, and gave me tools to manage poor behavior that was mostly a result of discomfort. I am so knowledgeable about dog behavior now that people ask me for advice, and it’s because of Meaghan! They are honest, compassionate, and it’s clear that they care a lot. The way I interact with dogs every day is *heavily* influenced by all they’ve taught me! 10/10, no notes.
Meaghan offered support with a dog rescue I started during the pandemic (Wildhearts Rescue) as a wonderful training resource for our fosters & adopters. They also generously offered a safe space for us to host meet & greets. Overall, I trust Meaghan with pups of all need levels. They bring an ethically sound training approach and gentle guidance to pups and to the humans who love them.
