Spotted Snout
I’m Meghan, a CPDT-certified dog trainer and CPCN canine nutritionist, helping dogs and their humans connect, thrive, and enjoy life together.
Private Training
Our private training sessions are designed to help you and your dog thrive together. Each one-hour, in-home session includes personalized instruction and clear next steps tailored to your goals. Whether you’re working on house manners, polite greetings, leash walking, or other behaviors, Meghan will guide you with compassionate, effective methods that strengthen communication and trust.
Pups Plus One Service
Include your furry family in your big day with our Pups Plus One Wedding Service. From transportation and ceremony assistance to photo ops and cocktail hour walks, we make sure your pets are cared for, comfortable, and part of the celebration.
Canine Nutrition
Our canine nutrition consultations are designed to help you feel confident about what you are feeding your dog. During a 45-minute session, Meghan will review your dog’s current diet, identify any nutritional gaps or weak points, and offer practical tips, adjustments, and personalized recommendations. The goal is to create a balanced, realistic plan that supports your dog’s health without overwhelm or judgment.
Spotted Snout uses humane, science-backed, positive reinforcement methods. The focus is on teaching skills, strengthening communication, and building trust rather than using punishment or intimidation.
