Dog Training With Miri

Miri helped us tremendously with a behavior quirk of one of my dogs. The quirk made going on walks difficult at times, so Miri's help was a great help. She taught me what to do, and I am doing that daily with my dog, and can see my dog changing her behavior slightly every day. Miri stressed that patience is the key to success, and I'm following what she taught me patiently. It is amazing the difference in how the household operates when you change or "fix" one seemingly small activity. Try it! You'll like it!

Miri is an incredible dog trainer - I don't know what we would have done without her. We had a really challenging time training our dog Sharki post surgery (2 TPLOS!) and Miri has been a lifesaver. She is creative, meaning, she does not see all dogs as the same, and understands that different things might work for different dogs. She doesn't make assumptions, asks the right questions, and actually listens to what you want to work on with your beloved pets. She really does explain her methods to the humans (who also need to be trained) in a way that you can understand - which was the missing piece for us. We had tried many trainers in the past with no success. Miri helped us understand why our dog might be behaving the way he was, and identify what to work on first, which was great because we had many different areas for improvement. We started with lose leash walking which made an immediate difference in our daily lives, gave us instant relief, and was a good way to build trust with our pup. We also had more complicated and specific concerns - how to keep him calm when guests come over, de-sensitize him to the his nemesis, the vacuum cleaner , and prepare him for life with a human sibling. Miri helped with each part, giving expert advice and hands on help. She gave us the basic tools to implement new training routines, and we feel much more confident in helping Sharki find routine and safety with us. Sharki also really needed some anxiety medicine, and Miri helped us think through and consult the right people to make that happen. His life and ours is greatly improved by the relationship we were able to build with him with Miri's help. Plus, he LOVES her. Highly recommend to anyone and everyone with any dog - even the more challenging ones. Miri is unmatched in the dog training space. Hire her, you will not regret it.

Miri is the absolute best. Our new puppy was a bit unsure of himself due to being attacked and also moving around from foster homes. Since working with Miri, he has become more confident, eager and safe because he understands commands and listens to us. I can't recommend Miri enough. She truly cares about the dogs she trains and making sure that you, as an owner, understand the training and how to interact with your dog in ways that make sense. Our dog waits for her at the door when we tell him it's time for "school" - he loves her that much!! We could not be happier with the results.
