CREDENTIALS AND APPROACH
Professional Canine Behavior Consulting and Training
​Meghan Lytton, Certified Behavior Canine Consultant (CBCC-KA) and a Certified Professional Dog Trainer (CPDT-KA)
​
I am a certified Behavior Canine Consultant and Certified Professional Dog Trainer through the CCPDT. I specialize in addressing canine aggression, reactivity, resource guarding, phobias, and other challenging behaviors. I currently work in partnership with multiple veterinarians, shelters and dog trainers who refer to me for canine behavioral issues. With experience and education in both canine behavior and training, I am able to develop a behavioral evaluation and plan AND help you implement it through hands on training and environmental management.
I am also on the Advisory Board of the MSPCA (Massachusetts Society for Prevention of Cruelty to Animals) and run a sled dog team of 4 Siberian Huskies (Granite, Bear, Honey and Maple) for fun!
My goal is to help you and your dog live happily and safely in your environment. Often, what we label as “bad” behavior is simply natural canine behavior that conflicts with human expectations. By understanding the root causes, we can effectively address these issues by using both clear communication and positive reinforcement, fostering a stronger relationship built on trust and cooperation.

APPROACH
​
-
Clean, conventient and well-equipped training center in the Center of Lincoln, MA or at-home training services (must call or email to schedule at-home sessions).
-
You select the number of sessions. Although I highly recommend at least one follow-up session, I do not promote "packages," which commit clients to a set number of appointments. Instead, I advise clients on number and timing of sessions, but leave decision up to customer.
-
I personally work with each client on what is best for their dog and own personal situation, goals and training preferences.
-
Appropriately utilize 3 of my own "helper dogs" in collaboration with clients in cases of dog reactivity.
-
Highly collaborative and customized. Each team receives an individualized plan targetting key issues after each session.
-
Work very hard to understand each dog's temperament (resiliency and sensitivity) before developing a program.​
-
My current areas of interest include:
