Practical training. Clear communication. Better teamwork.
Holistic Hounds helps owners understand the dog in front of them and build skills that hold up in everyday life — not just in a training field.
Hi, I'm Megan.
I've spent the last eight years working hands-on with dogs as a groomer at Pawsome Dog Wash & Grooming, and the last two working as a dog trainer. Grooming taught me how much dogs tell us through their body language — and how much easier life is for a dog who feels safe and understood.
In 2025 I completed my NDTF dog training course. Holistic Hounds is where I help local owners build calm, confident dogs with practical training that fits real family life — not just the training field.
My own dogs are my best teachers: Sox the harrier, Luna the beagle, and Frankie, a blue cattle dog × cocker spaniel. With two hounds at home, I know first-hand what it's like to live with a dog whose nose runs the show — you'll see them in photos around the site.

How I train
I use science-based training methods, grounded in how dogs actually learn: clear communication, well-timed reinforcement, and setting dogs up to succeed rather than waiting for them to get it wrong.
Training that connects the lesson to real life.
Sessions focus on useful skills, handler timing, body language, reinforcement, confidence and the environment around your dog.
The dog in front of me
No cookie-cutter programs. Every plan starts with your dog's personality, history and what they can manage today.
Coaching for you
You'll understand why things work, so you can keep making progress between sessions.
Real-life results
We train for the walks, visitors, parks and cafés that make up your actual life together.
The first step is a conversation.
