Friends with Dogs Membership

Welcome to the Friends with Dogs Community!

We’re thrilled to have you and your dog as part of our supportive community. Caring for a dog with behavioral challenges is REALLY hard—and we’re here to support you every step of the way.

To get started, here’s a quick guide to help you make the most of your membership:

  • Our community connects through WhatsApp, making it easy to stay in touch and get real-time support. If you haven’t already, download the WhatsApp app on your mobile device to join our group chat.

  • We’d love to get to know you and your dog! Once you’ve downloaded WhatsApp, join our group chat and introduce yourself. Share a bit about your dog and what you’re hoping to achieve through our community.

  • Stay engaged and get personalized guidance by participating in our live sessions. These interactive meetings are great opportunities to ask questions, share your progress, and connect with other members. Be sure to sign up for our next session!

  • Dive into our exclusive training content and educational resources. Take some time to explore and bookmark your favorite resources!

We’re So Glad You’re Here!

Maddie Messina and Erin Whelan

Maddie and Erin met training adolescent dogs and commiserated often on the joys and challenges involved. They still get together routinely to discuss what the heck? how? and why would they do that? They each have over a decade of experience working with dogs so chances are if your dog just did something embarrassing, they’ve already seen it… twice.

Remember, you’re not alone on this journey. Our community is here to support you every step of the way. If you have any questions or need help getting started, don’t hesitate to reach out to us at info@pawsforthoughttraining.com
