About Megan Wallace, CPDT-KA, CNWI, Founder / Operator of Dogs Deciphered LLC - Megan has been training dogs most of her life, starting with trying to certify the family dogs as therapy dogs at age 10. Her hobby grew into a passion, and after getting her B.S. in Biology from Colorado State University, she worked a variety of dog related jobs. These jobs gave her experience handling many different types of dogs in different situations, and most importantly, connecting with their humans. She took that experience, and a ton of wonderful advice from her great mentors along the way, and created a dog training business called Dogs Deciphered.
