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!"
