DOG TRAINING IN TRAVERSE CITY, MICHIGAN, USA

Get a Dog Who Listens at Home, on Walks, and with Visitors

(Real Change, Real Fast)

Yes! I Want a Well-Behaved Dog

DOES YOUR DOG PULL YOU DOWN THE STREET ON  WALKS?

DO YOU WISH YOUR DOG WOULD STOP JUMPING ON PEOPLE?

HAVE YOU TRIED EVERYTHING YOU CAN THINK OF, BUT NOTHING WORKS?

We help families like yours every day. We can help your dog listen, even if other training didn't work the way you hoped.

WHO ARE WE?

WE CAN HELP!

Right now, your dog might be making you a little crazy... this probably isn't what you pictured when you brought them home!

But picture this: your dog listens to you every time, not just when they feel like it, or when nothing else is going on, or when you have a treat. You say "quiet", and they stop barking right away. You say "come" and they run to you, happy to listen.

What if walks were fun and easy? You could pass other dogs, people, squirrels and even the skatepark, without a problem.

LISTENING OUT & ABOUT

Your dog is off leash a lot, even at home. Go on fun trips and feel sure your dog will listen, no matter where you are.

BE PROUD

No more feeling embarrassed!

Lots of families tell us they skip walks because their dog pulls too hard, or they don’t have people over because their dog acts wild. We’ll help you fix that, so people start saying how great your dog is!

TRULY ENJOY YOUR DOG

Fun times as a family.

Whether you go camping, visit the beach, or have friends over, your dog will make everyone smile. You’ll even look forward to walks because you’ll know your dog will listen, even with other things going on.

Ripley is now able to relax with us calmly, have play times without going bonkers, go on walks without pulling/yanking, happily hang out on his cot near us and is house trained (mostly…he is still a puppy!). He went on an extended vacation with us, and we honestly can’t imagine taking the trip without Meghan’s training of all of us!

I credit Meghan at Beacon Bay Dog Training for saving not only my sanity but my relationship with my puppy! For me, it was a matter of swallowing my pride and reaching out for much needed professional guidance/training. Blessed to find the perfect person, Meghan is an expert in her field who really connects on multiple levels with both the dog and the owner. Through her work with Gus (my handsome, beautifully tempered, yet overly exuberant male chocolate lab) Meghan was able to transform his wild behavior into a well mannered and highly manageable companion. More importantly, she taught me the importance of my role and responsibilities in training. Both Gus and I learned so much and are having the best time being pals now that we can do so much more together. Thank you Beacon Bay Dog Training-everything is possible now!

When we reached out to Meghan we were at a bit of a loss of how to help our puppy Lucy. She had a bad experience with another dog that left her scared, reactive, and inconsolable when out in the world. After a week with Meghan, Lucy learned the world isn’t such a scary place. Meghan helped to build our dogs confidence helped her learn to be calm and be around other people and dogs. Meghan gave us the foundation to build on to ensure our pup has the best life she can! Now she goes everywhere with us - and we wouldn’t have it any other way!

Meghan is amazing! She really knows her stuff and will give you the tools you need to understand your dog, set boundaries appropriately, and help you to follow through with what you've both learned. I was concerned that maybe at the age of 4 our dog wouldn't be able to learn "new tricks" so to speak but that definitely was not the case. Meghan addressed every issue we talked about in our consultations and also taught us how to teach our dog once he was home. She is so knowledgeable and we have learned so much from her.

ABOUT MEGHAN ROSENSTENGEL

Being a dog trainer isn’t just a job I picked one day. I’ve loved dogs my whole life! I won the pet show at the library when I was a little kid, raised future service dogs, and trained my own dogs to win big awards in dog sports. Dogs have always been part of my world.


I’ve had some tough dogs, too. I know how hard and lonely it can feel when your dog is not behaving. But you don’t have to go through it alone.


I know how much your dog means to you. I’m here to help with any problems—big or small—so you and your dog can enjoy fun times together.
