Sorry this pro can’t do your job, but we know other pros who can.
Introduction: Private training is a great way to quickly get your dog trained without the distractions of a group class. No trainer can guarantee a perfectly trained pooch (if they do, watch out!), but the results from consistent, positive training can be like magic to behold. I've helped many dogs reach their potential, which is a wonderful thing to be a part of. And positive training is an excellent way for dogs and their humans to bond. I think the reason why people hire me is because I have so much experience with shelter dogs of all breeds and temperaments. I've pretty much seen it all and handled it all. And I get results. I've spent a long time working with shelter dogs and love seeing the potential in these pups as they receive adequate training and exercise. I also love seeing new dogs become wonderful family companions through training.

Heather accomplished more in 3 sessions than previous dog trainers who spent much, much more time, but were less knowledgeable about how to effectively handle my dog's behavioral problems. She went directly to the problem behavior and after each session had produced lasting results. Everyone says my dog is like a whole different dog while maintaining his great enthusiasm for being alive. Positive training and rewards all the way. I would highly recommend her services. She doesn't just talk, she delivers.

We hired Heather to help us with our incredibly smart but VERY willful Australian Shepherd puppy. I felt fairly confident in raising a puppy who was high drive, after having a border collie, but this puppy definitely challenges us. Her advice has been wonderful and is helping greatly. It's clear she has an understanding of how a dog's mind works and we love her approach. We have one more session to go but feel confident that we have it under control. An added bonus is that she assured us that she's always just an email/text/phone call away, well after we are done our training. I'm not sure what else we could ask for.

Heather is a clear communicator and observant instructor who helped us at our very 1st session. I expect Tucker and his humans to benefit from working with her. We are looking forward to our next training session.

Heather is very competent. My very large dog was an obnoxious jumper and had to be locked up every time anyone came into the house. She almost knocked some of my friends to the floor with her jumping!! Now I am able to control her and she no longer jumps up on people. Finally I have a dog with good manners! Heather stressed how important it was for me to be motivated to participate in the training of my dog, so I did my homework faithfully in between sessions, and was incredibly consistent, which really paid off. Heather is an excellent trainer and if you're really ready to work along with her you'll have a well mannered and happy dog.

Standard poodles are great dogs to train because they are so smart. Getting ahead of the jumping before they get too big is the key. It takes work but training really payed off for Sunday.
