Dog Training With Miri

I can't say enough good things about Miri she is absolutely wonderful. I adopted a rescue puppy mill dog between the age of 3.5-5 years old. He was not potty trained, did not know how to walk on a leash and had limited socialization. I had him for two weeks beforeeavibg on an extended trip. After a little more than 2 weeks of board and train while I was on my extended trip I have a dog that can walk on the leash, is basically potty trained, sleeps through the night in his crate for at least 8 hours, knows sit and is more confident than when I left him. Miri helped him settle into his new world and exposed him to many different environments to help him get comfortable. I could have not done this without her support and assistance. And she is a lovely person in addition to being a great dog trainer!

Miri did a great job working with my 9 month old puppy. She used all positive reinforcement and I saw improvements every week. She is very knowledgeable and gave me thorough updates of his training everyday. I was given tools to help practice with him at home and beyond the 21 day training course. I also have a complicated work week and she was more than accommodating when it came to a training schedule. My puppy can loose leash walk and do all obedience commands including high five! I would definitely go back and highly recommend her.

Miri loves dogs and it really shows! We found Miri through an internet search - we were looking for a positive-reinforcement-only trainer, and most importantly someone we would trust to leave our fur baby first stay away from home without us while we traveled. Miri is wonderful and generous with her time. We had an initial phone call with her where she told us about her training philosophy and learned what our goals are; we also met her in person at a park to see before committing to a training program. Our 1-year-old puppy gets very excited by birds and squirrels and forgets her loose-leash walking manners, and she jumps on people - getting to sit with Miri in the busy outdoor park was great, and we got to see the environment where Miri would be doing training sessions. Our pup did a 3-week board-and-train with Miri and had an absolute blast. She became best buds with Miri's dog Shadow, and Miri sent cute photos and videos throughout the stay. Here is an example of how Miri went above and beyond with the loving care that we could have even imagined: Our dog is trained to sleep in her kennel at night, and we wanted to preserve this habit. Miri slept on the couch for the first few nights (!) because our puppy wasn't used to the new environment, cried at night. Our puppy's loose leashing walking also improved greatly, and we have been working to keep up this good habit. Thank you Miri!!
