    I wanted to listen, ugh!
    Oh my gosh, I so wanted to listen to this podcast, she has great things to say, yet she uses the filler word “like” every other sentence. I can’t!
  • Bethanymazy
    Interesting podcast
    Lots of good information, stays on the topic of dogs vs random things that feel like fluff. Very helpful in lots of areas like e collar and puppy related topics!

    SUPER Helpful Resources for Any Dog Parent
    We’ve been listening to Meg’s podcast for a while and we have learned so much. She is so helpful and not judgmental at all which is not easy to find when you are needing resources for your dog. She has great guests that add to the show as well. Definitely a show I look forward to listening to.
  • Shannanagram
    Helping us SO much as first time dog owners
    I love Meg so much, she is such a joy to listen to on the podcast and follow on social media. Her practical, laid back advice has been exactly what I need this first year of raising my first dog ever. She focuses on what really matters and helps you let go of what doesn’t. I was stressed and high strung until I found her podcast and website, and now I feel like I’ve been able to relax and enjoy my puppy way more. And the hands free slip lead changed our entire walk situation, it’s magical!
  • TET review
    A Real One
    Meg checks all the boxes. If you own a dog, you should listen to every episode. She’s relatable, easy to listen to, teaches you how to be a better dog owner, and she’s overall just a great vibe. ✌🏼🐶
  • isasketchbook
    Thank you Meghan!
    I started listening to this podcast in preparation for getting a puppy, and I can’t express how immeasurably grateful I am to someone I have never met before. It seriously felt like it took a whole village of resources to raise my puppy, and this podcast was a crucial piece of the puzzle. I followed a ton of training advice that I learned from this podcast and I truly believe it has helped shape the incredible bond and relationship I now have with my dog today. Not only that, I have strived to improve my mental health in large part due to Meghan’s insightful advice on how our emotional state can have a profound effect on our dogs, which I quickly recognized for myself. So thank you Meghan for sharing your knowledge on this podcast. I hope to meet you one day to properly express my gratitude. But until then, a BIG thank you!! ♥️
  • Sheamerjay
    Listen, listen, LISTEN!
    If you like dogs, coffee (or other tasty drinks), and being reminded to be present and enjoy life, this pod is for you. Meg is relatable and calls out those of us going 1000mph 24/7 in the best possible way. You won’t be disappointed you spent the time you did listening ❤️
  • Z Lisbon
    Favorite podcast
    This podcast has replaced every podcast I used to listen to. I’m a new dog trainer and have been beyond overwhelmed by the mixed messages and strong opinions out there, but Meg makes all the madness make sense. The intersection of mental health and dog training that goes on in this podcast makes it the best thing out there.
  • Aspen’s dog dad
    Best Episode yet!
    I’ve enjoyed following Meg on her journey via this podcast, but the most recent one with Shane Murray was the best! It had it all. Plenty of personal stories, a large portion focused on dogs and dog training, and a healthy amount of swearing. I’m hoping to hear more episodes like this one!
  • Paper plane 340
    Amazing podcast
    Amazing - she’s rad, articulate and entertaining.
  • Mrs. K(ick
    Fan girl
    You are my hero and my favorite dog trainer so far. As a newer dog trainer, I look forward to learning and reinforcing what I know through your social media posts and podcasts. I love your training style and techniques and especially the way you are able to explain it to dog owners. You are real and raw and I LOVE THIS THE MOST 🐾💖 Keep it up!!
  • LexieL4
    Love this podcast!
    This podcast has been so helpful for me and my 7 month old puppy!! Plus I like that you share about your life to kind of give us a behind the scenes look into your life and business. I love all of your content on Instagram, TikTok, and the pod. I’ve recommended you to so many people. Thank you for all that you do. It is so appreciated. 🥹💕
  • Lavastud
    Chatty
    Not enough talk about training, to much blah blah. I like your instagram page,not your podcasts.
  • Jfhbcfjvdv
    No more training
    Apparently Meg had a mental breakdown and couldn’t bring herself to do the podcast. She’s back now and it brings her joy to not talk about dog training. Now it’s about her bad dog Gretchen, she got stuck with. And how people exhaust her.
  • Nicole 757984
    The perfect dog walk podcast
    So happy Meg is back to share more tips with us! A great informative podcast with relatable stories. I love that this podcast gives me the ability to build my confidence/relationship with my dog. We love listening on our walks!
  • adtiannersmith3
    I love this podcast!
    It’s been very helpful in learning how to handle and train my personal dogs. And my all of my fosters. Very real and genuine. Highly recommend!
  • AmberK005
    Eye opening!
    I love this podcast! Seriously gets me so excited to train my Vizsla puppy! I love Meg’s story, she makes me feel like everything will turn out ok! I have already implemented so many things with my pup and he is learning so fast! Bring more episodes please!!!
  • Maileey90
    Great tips
    I found Meg on Instagram and love her content. Very simple and straightforward way to train your pup.
  • Ruthie_nomadteacher
    so helpful! so relaxing to listen to as well!
    Thank you so much for this podcast, I have listened to almost all the episodes as i have a 3 month puppy. Could you post one about potty training indoors, like when you still cannot take your dog outside how do you train it to potty at an specific place or on a pad.
  • S-.H
    Best training pod!
    Love this podcast!! I found it when I was looking for puppy training content! I love her voice and Insight! I can’t wait for more episodes!
  • AbbyAthana
    Real Dog Training
    My favorite dog training podcast to date. Meghan is so down to earth and explains everything she does so clearly. This podcast provides so much more depth and real world scenarios than the average training podcast (which I’ve found typically are more along the lines of “follow steps 1-4 and you’re done!”).
  • montana gemini 🤠
    New favorite podcast alert!
    Meghan does such a wonderful job breaking down concepts and presenting them in a way that’s easy to understand and apply. I’ve been lucky to work with a trainer in my area for my dog, but I’ve still gotten SO much useful information from Meghan’s podcast that I’ve been implementing, specifically on how to help my dog relax and have an “off switch” which isn’t always easy for an 8 month old lab 😂 Not to mention, she’s just so friendly and interesting to listen to! I will be suggesting this podcast to ANYONE I know who has a dog, and to people who have misconceptions about the use of training tools. She gives such great explanations and I respect her so much for speaking up and standing up for herself on a subject she gets so much hate and negativity for. Just when I thought I couldn’t love Meghan more - I listened to episode 10 where she talked about her plastic free packaging on her online store! I can’t wait to make a purchase from her store 🤗 looking forward to future episodes!
  • Gus and Co.
    A Habitual Listen
    Meghan is all about habits and fostering strong relationships with our pups, and her style is unmatchable. With a pup of my own, at only 8 months, I was getting burnt out on teaching commands and obedience. This podcast has given us life renewed! He’s a happier pooch, with more structure and boundaries. I sincerely look forward to copious amounts of information from this podcast. It’s a craving!
  • Alice PS
    I am hooked!
    Meghan is so articulate and insightful. It’s hard to find media from trainers who value transparency and are open about their own learning processes. I would highly recommend this podcast to anyone who is curious about balanced training and what it can do for dogs.
  • Canine Conduct
    Recommend to dog owners and trainers alike!
    This is not only a really informational and educational podcast, but also throws in some laughs and feel good moments as well. Love listening every week and always come away with a new good tidbit of information!
