Testimonials
“Megan is a miracle worker! She has done amazing things with my rescue. We were ready to give up and then Megan worked with our pups and they did a complete 180!! I can’t recommend her high enough. I wish I could give her 10 stars.”
– Heather Howl
“Megan has changed our lives with her training knowledge and warm demeanor. Our dog adores her and by following her instructions we now have a dog who understands commands, has become closer to us with trust and love, and enjoys his time on the trails. I would recommend anyone who needs training help and truly loves their dog to give her a call!”
– Dianne Rolnik
“I took my pit bull to Rescue dog training and he is doing very well! They had him for a little over a month. When I first rescued him, he was very aggressive towards people and other animals… Now he has improved so much. I can make eye contact with him without him growling at me.”

About the Trainer
Rescue Dogs Training is a dog training business based in the East Mountains of New Mexico, serving Albuquerque and surrounding areas including Santa Fe, Espanola, Los Lunas, and Los Alamos. They specialize in private in-home training and board-and-train programs designed to rehabilitate fear, aggression, reactivity, and over-excitement in dogs. Their approach is relationship-based and focuses on understanding canine instincts and nurturing dogs’ needs to build calm, confident behavior. They also offer private service dog training that follows ADA guidelines, helping owners continue task training at home with professional support as needed. In addition to training, they provide boarding services that include daily hikes, structured play, and boundary setting to ensure dogs return home calmer and better trained. Their training philosophy emphasizes leadership, mental stimulation, and rewarding calm states of mind, as detailed in their educational blog content.
Megan, the trainer, works directly with dog owners to teach them how to communicate effectively with their dogs, making her methods practical and sustainable for long-term success. She provides follow-up support between sessions and tailors training plans to each dog’s unique needs, whether they are rescue dogs, puppies, or dogs with severe behavioral challenges.
The business is known for helping owners who have tried other trainers without success, particularly those dealing with deep-seated fear or aggression issues. Their services are designed for dogs of all ages and sizes, with a strong focus on behavior modification over basic obedience.
How to Get Started!
Client engagement begins with a free phone consultation to discuss the dog’s behavior issues and determine the best training approach. Clients can then book private sessions, boarding, or a board-and-train program through the online booking system.
