Beyond The Box w/Meg

The Composed Canine w/Meg Claiborne

The Composed Canine is built on the belief that a well-trained dog should make your world bigger, not smaller.

Since 2019, I’ve helped more than 500 dogs of every breed, size, and temperament learn the skills they need to become calm, confident companions that can join you on all of life’s adventures. Whether it’s grabbing coffee, enjoying a brewery patio, hitting the trails, or simply relaxing at home, my goal is to help owners experience more freedom, more fun, and less stress with their dogs.

CrossFit has reinforced the same lesson I teach my clients every day: lasting results come from consistency, clear communication, and small, intentional habits. In dog training, those daily habits build trust, strengthen the relationship between dog and owner, and create lasting behavior change.

As a small business owner, staying healthy and strong allows me to show up every day with the energy and endurance my clients deserve. I’m grateful to be part of the Defiant CrossFit community and to surround myself with people who value growth, discipline, and putting in the work.
