Our Training Philosophy
At All About Dogs our training philosophy is 100% positive reinforcement based. We believe that dogs learn their best by being rewarded for doing well! With positive reinforcement-based training, we teach a dog to repeat a desired behavior when it’s followed by a reward. Undesirable behaviors do not get a reward or acknowledgement. Our trainers DO NOT use harsh reprimands or physical punishments. When we focus on rewarding desired behaviors it helps our dog learn what to do. It allows owners to be proactive vs reactive which sets the dog up for success, builds a strong relationship and desire to learn. Our trainers use operant conditioning, and shaping using clicker-based training methods. Prong collars, choke chains, and e-collars (also known as shock collars) are not permitted.

Megan

Megan St Jean knew from a young age she wanted to work with animals. At sixteen she found her passion for dog training when she started raising guide dogs for Guiding Eyes for the Blind. Megan pursued other careers for a few short years. She quickly realized her greatest joy and deepest meaning came from her work with dogs and training was what she was meant to do.
After rescuing her dog Shelly who struggled with anxiety and reactivity, Megan found her greatest satisfaction came from helping anxious dogs navigate this crazy world. She particularly enjoys working with clients with reactive dogs to understand and communicate with their dogs better.
Megan continues to expand her knowledge and is currently mentoring under Pet Harmony and working towards becoming a certified behavior consultant. She shares life with numerous foster dogs, her boyfriend, her two dogs, Red and Shelly, and her two cats, Willow and Bella.
Megan joined the All About Dogs team in January 2023.

Melinda

CPDT-KA
Dog training is a huge passion of mine as it is a great therapy for me! After graduating from the CATCH Canine Trainers Academy and 7 years in the field I recently became certified as a CPDT-KA trainer. When becoming a trainer, I specialized in dogs who have any and all forms of reactivity. The psychology behind it absolutely fascinates me! I believe all dogs deserve a second chance and owners deserve to have that strong bond with their forever companion. My beagle mix, who passed in September 2021, was by my side throughout my training career, he has taught me so much! He was my student dog while I was in the prime of my studies. Max also helped me with many of my reactive clients as he was a great example of calm behavior. He helped train his younger brother Dash to take his place and help me help my clients in need. I look forward to continuing to expand my knowledge and open some new doors with my training.

Pamela

Pam started working at All About Dogs in 2009 offering her Reiki and Canine massage services but soon she expanded her job responsibilities into the daycare. Spending time with the dogs and watching how they interact led her to learn more about canine body language and behavior. Being a regular in many types of training classes such as agility, Rally-O and obedience with her own dogs she felt the desire to learn to teach training classes and help other dogs and their owners build positive relationships. She mentored with a local trainer for over a year while continuing to read and learn all that she could. She has been teaching classes at All About Dogs since 2012. Pam is an approved trainer for Veteran Canine Connection.  She looks forward to helping the Veterans of our area find a companion from local rescues and shelters.

Train you dog to walk safely on a treadmill. It’s a great way to provide exercise in a safe and climate controlled environment. The trainer will send a brief report card once the training is completed.

We will teach your dog the necessary cues and skills to get on, off and walk comfortably on our treadmill. You can then use this skill on your treadmill at home.

Multiple sessions will most likely be necessary unless your dog has prior treadmill experience. Completion of the Treadmill Training and approval is needed before your dog can participate in Treadmill Time.
Walking on a treadmill is not an option for all dogs and can depend on their level of confidence and comfort.
