Ethical, Kind, Science-Based Training Methods

Transforming the lives of dogs & their humans through education, compassion, and personalized training.

Feeling overwhelmed, stressed, or frustrated by your dog's behavior?

​​But your dog isn’t giving you a hard time—they’re having a hard time. And real change is possible. 

You love your dog, but their behavior feels overwhelming. I help families turn stressful challenges into calm, confident companionship.

What Clients Say

"Heather is a fantastic trainer. We were first time dog owners and with her help, our golden retriever River went from chewing everything in sight, jumping up on us all the time and pulling endlessly on the leash to a calm dog who walks with us rather than trying to drag us through bushes, is crate trained and doesn’t destroy the house! We couldn’t be happier and we definitely recommend Heather!"

Core Values

Results driven by kindness & connection 

At our core, we know that lifelong results stem from connection. For over a decade, we have facilitated remarkable transformations in the lives of people and dogs through Positive Reward-Based Training. 

Synergistic Learning

A teaching and learning approach that emphasizes collaboration, cooperation, honesty, and shared responsibility among myself, my clients, and their dogs.  Working together towards a common goal, we can create radical change in your canine companion. 

Continuing Education

We uphold ourselves to an incredibly high standard, prioritize continuing education, and stay current on our industry's latest research and news. Graduating from Animal Behavior College in 2012 was the start of an ongoing journey into the world of dog training education. Growing and sharing our knowledge is our passion and purpose.
