Meritdog training and services are wonderful. My dog participated in the board and train program and it was well worth it.

My puppy and I just finished basic training classes with MeritDog. I have not had a puppy before and she helped my dog learn what he needed to learn, but she also taught me what I could improve on too. I’m very happy with his progress!Classes were conveniently scheduled around my work schedule. I boarded him and am very happy he didn’t spend the week in a kennel. The dogs have a huge green space to play in addition to their run. Merit truly cares for these dogs and it shows in her training techniques. I would highly recommend her classes.

Merit helped us with our new rescue dog. She was wonderful working with 2-3 dogs at a time. Merit teaches the owner, not the dog. She teaches you how to get the most pleasure and fun from your pup.

Myself as well as our dog Ryder was in great need of obedience and behavioral problems. and I needed help as well as my dog..His name is Ryder and He is a rescue and my responsibility is to take care of him thru proper dog training. Ryder is now a new dog so well behaved and he has always loved to walk, but he is a pleasure to walk now. He is responsive to his commands , he is a different dog and so well behaved, He still has some bad habits but we just keep working with him thru Merits training methods. She sends lessons after your class to work by so you are consistent. Thank youMerit,, from Becky and Ryder.

Merit and her staff are wonderful to work with! I took my Airedale to her years ago and couldn't wait to bring our newest pup back! We have learned so much from them and our pup loves the doggie day camp! It's nice having a place you can fully trust with your fur babies! I would highly recommend!

Merit and her team are all excellent! They cared for our two Texas Blue Lacy dogs as if they were their own. Merit is patient and fully listens to the owners and their dog's needs. My dogs, River and Skye love being boarded at her facility too. Merit trained both of our dogs and it wasn't easy because they are high energy! The training was exceptional, and I appreciate the peace of mind that I have now knowing my dogs listen to commands now. It is also great to be able to get away on vacation and know that she is taking care of my babies as we do. If I ever move out of state I will drive back and use her services when gone on vacation, I trust her care that much!

I love MeritDog! We attended training classes with our puppy and she also attends weekly daycare. She knows it’s daycare day and she can’t wait to hop in the car. The staff is amazing-they know their stuff. I highly recommend MeritDog!

Love, love Merit and her facility. I only have to mention her name and my Diego starts getting excited. We did our training there and so it is wonderful that he's expected to behave there as well as at home and with the same signals. Diego stayed there for 3 weeks and I was worried about it but besides coming home tired, he couldn't wait to go back. He goes every Friday do doggy daycare and loves it. Kimmie is absolutely wonderful too! I know these women love my dog and care about his well being. Its nice knowing your "baby" is always well cared for, loved on, spoiled and disciplined. I wouldn't dream of taking him anywhere else!

My dog Albert absolutely loves to visit MeritDog Training and Services. When I pull in the driveway he tries to jump out of the window before the car even stops because he’s so excited to go in and see his human friends and his dog friends. The accommodations they provide my dog is top notch and so is Merit and her people that work there…….wonderful people.

We had an extremely favorable experience with training our dog with Merit Dog Training. Merit is extremely patient, and proficient at her training abilities. We gave her a pretty good challenge. Our dog Belle came to her at 18 months old. We adopted her through Lab Rescue OK at 1 yr. She had been in foster care for 5 months with 3 very well socialized dogs, but prior to that she, her Mom and her 5 litter mates had little human contact, were left out side and saw someone only to be fed. She was pretty wild upon adoption and had very few manners. At nearly 70 lbs we needed to make some changes quickly. Over the course of 8 weeks we transitioned from not being able to use any kind of leash to leash walking reasonably well, following commands, improved our ability to deal with her separation anxiety, and over all a better Mom-Dad-Belle relationship. We are so pleased to have discovered Merit Dog Training. We have also utilized the boarding services, which we will be using again soon and the Doggie Day Out program. One of the most useful parts of the training we received were the written follow up notes that Merit sends each week following the class. These were helpful in going back over the details during our homework with Belle. We would happily and honestly recommend this trainer to all our friends with dogs.

I highly recommend the Puppy Basics class. It was the best decision ever and provided a solid foundation for my rescue puppy. We continued our training through the next two levels and it was money and time well spent. Merit is a natural teacher and really understands both dogs and their owners which allows her to present concepts and techniques effectively.I have also boarded my dog there and he absolutely loved it.

Merit and her team have been amazing. She has really helped me and my new pup learn some great skills. On top of the classes, her doggy daycare is wonderful. My dogs come home so tired from all the fun they had! I would most definitely recommend Merit Dog Training to anyone wanting to learn new skills or just brush up on the basics.

MeritDog Training & Services provides excellent training, support, and guidance. My dog was not only hyper, but a tad head strong. However, because of Merit’s patience and expertise, my dog is now calmer and she listens to commands!

My St. Berdoodle, Sasha, has made wonderful progress in Merit's puppy classes and obedience school. She loves to go to "school" or visit for doggie day out. We've also boarded with Merit, knowing that Sasha would be in loving hands.Merit is passionate about dogs, with excellent skill, knowledge, and experience. Most of all she is patient with the human partner as they learn!
