Out of the Bark

My husband and I rescued a 6-yr dog. We knew very little about her but we knew we wanted to be in control on walks and around other dogs. Megha was fabulous! She came to our house7 of the 8 lessons and we went to her facility once. She knows her stuff and having her guide us every step of the way and giving us training to do on our own was so important. We had our last lesson today and have made huge progress! We would and are recommending her to our friends and family. Our dog loved her too. We feel we’ve gained a friend and we can text her anytime for tips we may have forgotten. Thumbs up to Out of the Bark!

Working with Megha has been an absolute game-changer for my Australian Shepherd and me! She is incredible to work with and taught me so much about handling my dog; techniques that I still use every single day. What sets Megha apart is that she doesn’t just train the dog; she genuinely equips you with the tools and confidence to succeed as a dog owner. She also introduced us to the world of enrichment activities and the importance of mental exhaustion, which is so crucial for high-energy breeds. Learning how to tire out my pup mentally, beyond just physical exercise, has completely transformed our daily routine. I'd highly recommend Megha & Out of the Bark!

I can’t recommend Dan enough. My family originally contacted him to help us introduce two family dogs who were very reactive on leash and showed signs of aggression when we just tried to get them to meet. Dan stepped in with calm, clear guidance and a training plan that actually worked. Within just a few sessions, my Australian Shepard was listening to me, more focused, and far less reactive on our walks and meet and greets. What I appreciated most was how much Dan taught me — how to read my dog, how to prevent triggers, and how to handle tough moments without adding stress. He genuinely cares about both the dog and the owner, and it shows. If you’re struggling with reactivity or just want a trainer who truly understands dogs and is great to work with, Dan is the one.
