Great atmosphere, friendly staff, easy going atmosphere. We went for an open house, and we intend to go back for training. It was a little out of the way, tucked in the back of a "business park," making it a little difficult to find, but it is worth getting there!Edit: as repeat client, finding "Inspire" and Megan has been the best thing for us and our dogs. Over the last 6 months, we went from 6 decently behaved farm dogs to 3 dogs with titles, 2 about to get their first novice titles, and 1 LGD that listens. It's amazing how far we have come because of Inspire.Update: Years and many classes later, we have learned so much from Megan and her staff. With multiple dog sports titles with multiple dogs, dogs earning confirmation points with the AKC, and a wall full of ribbons. The experience with Megan is great, and her eye for detail is amazing. The relationship and happiness between us and our dogs is amazing, and the happy tails and excited noises they make when we pull into the parking lot shows how much our dogs enjoy the enrichment.

Inspire K9 has provided the most rewarding experience for me and my young dogs. Each dog has different issues. Megan taught me how to work with them in a fun and positive way. I went from just taking classes to shape good behavior and obedience to fun classes like Agility and Rally where you just look at your dog and think, Wow! You are amazing! I strongly recommend classes with Megan and all the trainers working at Inspire K9. It’s our favorite hour of the week!

Megan is a fantastic trainer who really understands dogs, and is incredibly committed to helping all of her clients build better relationships with their dogs. Even though the new facility is a drive for us, it’s very worth it. I wouldn’t trust anyone else’s advice regarding my dog at this point, period. The new facility has all kinds of fun offerings (indoor dock diving?? Heck yeah!). Highly recommend.

EDIT: I had requested to switch out of group classes after the first class due to my anxiety and never heard back. What a waste of $145 bucks. Shady business owner.Today I had my first private session with Megan and it really helped me understand my dog more and gain knowledge of how to help him moving forward. She was very upfront, honest and had a lot of great insight. She informed me on behaviors of my dog and why they happen, how to go forward and advice on adding another dog to the family. She probably saved me (and my dog) from going into a bad situation adopting another dog before shaping the confidence and manners of my current dog. Her experience gives me peace of mind that with her help, we will be able to safely create a great team who is balanced, respectful and confident. Looking forward to working with her in the upcoming months at her group classes! Thanks Megan!

I have been working with Megan and Inspire K-9's for years. I have two dogs and they both have individual needs. She has been great at recommending classes that both entertain and educate my dogs and myself. I would highly recommend Inspire K-9's for all of your training needs!

We have been involved with training since the summer of 2018. They not only know their stuff, but genuinely care. A family run business, this company will not disappoint you. Our dog has show. Such great behaviour improvement since the onset of training. He also is training for duck hunting and doing well. The company is right in the industrial park in Barnstead just off of 126 and easy to get to. The puppy socials are so much fun! Check out all of the training opportunities on their website. You will not be disappointed.

We are so thankful and pleased with the personal attention we have received during all of the classes we have taken. Everything about Inspire K-9’s is well run, organized, personal, and friendly. Even in a group setting, Megan and her team deliver quality and personal instructions to fit each dog and owner. We highly recommend Inspire K-9’s!

I can’t say enough things about Megan and her company. My husband was very skeptical on who to train with. I even had to convince him that she needed training. Let’s face it. This is his baby. We started to do training sessions but then Covid hit. Megan had to shut down per the state. We needed help with our German Shepherd Kimber about her high reactivity level in new situations. Fast forward a year later! Megan gave us the tools to work with her. She taught us what signs to look for in Kimber before she has a reaction. We went to Home Depot for a training field trip for her last session. She did AMAZING!!!! Kimber was so happy. She did so well with people. She had one little outburst when we saw another dog but other than that she really did amazing! We are going to continue to work on her and bring her to new places to train. We are going to slowly work with other dogs as a training tool. My goal is to get her back into daycare. She never got kicked out of daycare but dropping her off was a nightmare. She has a mean bark to her. I do not want another dog to take it the wrong way. We will definitely be back if we need more help with Kimber on her training journey. You just have to be patient with them. It is a lot of work for them. It will take time but it really does work. I am so happy that we brought her to Megan. We will be back whenever we get a puppy once Kimber is all set. Kimber is our main focus right now and I can’t wait to watch her succeed and grow. It amazes me how well she has worked to be where she is today. If anyone needs help with their dogs, Megan is the right person to bring your dog to. We trust her and would work with again. Thank you so much Megan!

Megan is an experienced and knowledgeable trainer who proactively seeks growth herself. She truly understands dog behavior and needs as evidenced by how well behaved my dogs are a few moments after she walks in the door (a crazy puppy and a middle-aged yapper). She makes training fun for the dogs and trains us humans to be patient, reasonable, and appropriately responsive. We are all having fun! I didn't think our yapper was trainable but after an hour long session this morning, we are experiencing the most quiet we have in 6 years. No kidding.Her class, training, and seminar options are varied and interesting. She's also just good person who is dedicated. She helped me find reputable dog breeders and has gone above and beyond providing training services and support in between sessions.

Megan is a great trainer and a joy to work with! We recommend her highly whenever possible because she really has her priorities straight and keeps people on track while holding the dogs accountable. We l o v e Megan!

Great place to do any type of dog training from puppy classes, manners classes, etc. Also great sport classes, Agility, Tracking, Retriever Training and more. All the instructors are amazing. Megan Arey runs a great facility!!

My dog developed fear anxiety after dealing with a health issue that made me nervous to have him out in public. Megan has been instrumental in helping me recognize when my dog is becoming anxious and how to handle it before it escalates. Although strange people and places may always make my dog nervous, I am so grateful to have the skills and tools to handle any situation now, and so is my dog.

I take nosework classes here with my dog. Judy is an amazing instructor! It's clear how passionate she is about nosework and it carries over into her love for teaching. Highly recommend for anyone thinking about getting into nosework with their dog!

We look forward to going back. The pool is not included anymore with this program. But down the st, I wish they would take those pitures down as it gets confusing. As we are looking for a place to teach our Rottie to swim.

We went to our 1st intro to dock diving by Dock Diving Anon Trainers. Rosie was very shy about going in the pool, but the training ladies were awesome, fingers crossed for the 2nd class that she will actually get in the pool.
