Hello! Thank you for taking the time to read more about me and understand why I have chosen dog training as my career path!
My name is Megan Honaker-Danitz and I grew up in Southern California until I moved to Colorado in 2007. I currently reside in Highlands Ranch and I absolutely love Colorado!
From a very young age I wanted to be a dog trainer and used to teach my Aussie all sorts of fun tricks and agility. Some called me a "dog whisperer" before there was a famous "dog whisperer" on TV. My entire life I have loved all animals. I grew up with horses, cats, rabbits, ducks, chickens, fish, turtles, and even sheep! My mom always joked that I'd rather spend time with animals rather than people. She was not wrong.
I enrolled in Animal Behavior College in 2005 and soon realized that my dreams of training dogs were more attainable than I thought. I started Full Pawtential in 2007 after graduating as a Certified Dog Trainer and have grown my business quite a bit over the past 14 years. I have learned a lot along the way, including that I prefer to train using trust and rewards over punishment and pain. I have always considered my animals family, friends, or even my children. Hurting an animal for any reason isn't something I can do. Luckily, it's not required! I can show you how to use proven, science-based, force-free training methods and be MORE SUCCESSFUL than any other methods out there.
I am very passionate about animal welfare and volunteer to help Colorado Puppy Rescue with behavior, fostering, and at adoption events. Please ask me about rescue discounts.
In the past 14 years I have worked with hundreds of dogs, large and small, with a variety of issues. There is no problem too large or too small. Many trainers do not accept aggression cases, but that is not the case with me. I enjoy the ”difficult” cases and dogs who have been turned away by other trainers. I also network with trainers and behaviorists so if you are not in my area or need other resources, I can help with that also.

"Look At That (LAT) Game: A Revolutionary Conversation" by Behavior Vets
