Dog Training in Menominee MI

Dog training at Mighty Pet in Menominee MI runs from $75 an hour for private sessions to $165 for a 5-week Foundation Manners group class, with private puppy packages, day training, and seasonal specialty classes also available. Training is led by Meghan Smith, CPDT-KA, with Mighty Pet since 2017, alongside ABCDT-certified trainer Skhyler Shallow. Around here, we call the whole program Mighty Pets in Training.

If your puppy won’t stop biting hands, your rescue barks at every dog on the leash, or your two-year-old lab knows “sit”… and ignores it the second a squirrel shows up, that’s what Mighty Pet’s training team is for.

Meghan’s been building Mighty Pet’s training programs since 2017, backed by a team that’s called this community home since 2009.

Meghan Smith, CPDT-KA

Dog Trainer

With a background as a licensed veterinary technician and horse trainer, Meghan moved into dog training and never looked back. She holds both her CPDT-KA certification and a certificate from Michael Shikashio’s Aggression In Dogs master course. At Mighty Pet since 2017, Meghan has been central to building our training programs and leads our group classes, workshops, and private training. She keeps up with 36 hours of continuing education every 3 years to stay current on the latest techniques. Outside of work, Meghan enjoys upland hunting, canicross, and bikejoring with her husband and four dogs… and she trains and competes in dog sports herself.

The Certification Council for Professional Dog Trainers (CCPDT) is the premier authority for certifying dog training and behavior professionals worldwide. As a private, not-for-profit organization, CCPDT sets the global standard for rigorous exams that demonstrate mastery of humane, science-based training practices.

Skhyler Shallow, ABCDT

Dog Trainer

Skhyler earned her certification as an Animal Behavior College Certified Dog Trainer (ABCDT) in 2021 and is currently working toward her CPDT-KA accreditation. She got her start in 4-H obedience trials as a kid, and that early experience grew into a genuine passion for dog training. She takes pride in helping owners build strong, functional relationships with their dogs. Outside of Mighty Pet, Skhyler trains and competes in dog sports with her Border Collie, Yahtzee, and spends her free time outdoors with her husband and children, often on the family dairy farm.

Animal Behavior College is a respected credential for dog trainers because of its comprehensive curriculum, hands-on experience, and focus on modern, science-based training methods. Graduates demonstrate real expertise, giving clients confidence in their training quality.
