co-owner / care staff / professional dog mom

Meg has spent her life surrounded by animals, both personally and professionally. Before making the switch to working with dogs, she spent about 15 years working with chimpanzees, specializing in animal care, behavior, and positive reinforcement training. While her professional career started with primates, dogs have always been a huge part of her life. She’s been a lifelong dog owner and has spent many years involved in rescue and fostering, with a particular soft spot for the dogs needing a little extra TLC. When the opportunity came to help bring 16 Acre Wood back to life, she jumped at the chance to create a place where dogs can be dogs and their people can feel right at home. These days, she’s usually surrounded by a pack of dogs, both at work and at home–and she wouldn’t have it any other way!
