Dog Training With Miri

Miri is fantastic! We adopted a very active and very strong puppy and were at wit's end trying to teach her to walk on a leash without pulling off an arm. Miri is a lovely human being and has great skills and incredible patience (both with dogs and their owners!). Our dog absolutely adores her. Our pup's behavior both on and off leash improved dramatically with Miri's help, and she has given us the skills to continue the training with confidence. Our dog is a real sweetie, and we knew she had the potential to be a great companion, but we could not have accomplished nearly as much as quickly to achieve that goal without Miri's help. Highly recommend!

Miri has pretty much changed both of our lives. I thought my pup really wanted to say hi to other dogs on our walks, but she would bark and lunge right after. Sometimes we couldn’t get close because of this behavior. I was getting very frustrated and discouraged. Miri trained both of us (mostly me) how to maintain control on walks so we can now pass other dogs without reacting - most of the time. But the best part is having my girl be off leash and happily meeting other dogs and playing on the beach and being free. She settled into this much easier than I did, but I just love seeing her this way so I’m getting there. Miri is very patient and positive. She would talk things through with me to figure out ways to deal with different issues. I’m so grateful for the service she gave our family. We miss her company on our walks.

Miri is truly a dog whisperer! Within the first hour of meeting our rescue dog, Oz, she had him listening, staying calm, and no longer jumping up on people—a feat we didn’t think was possible so quickly. By the end of our first full session, Oz was calm on leash and noticeably more grounded. I had no idea how much dogs need boundaries, just like children, until I saw Miri’s brilliance in action. Her approach is compassionate, clear, and incredibly effective. She not only trains dogs but also equips owners with the tools and understanding to create lasting results. If you’re looking for a dog trainer in the Bay Area who delivers immediate and meaningful transformation, Miri is hands-down the best! Highly recommend her for anyone seeking a happier, calmer, and more balanced dog. 🐾
