From The Heart Training is a Michigan owned and operated small business, founded by Victoria Zahul, a lifelong dog lover and Michigan resident. At From The Heart Training, we feel dogs are one of the life’s greatest joys! Dogs are fun, goofy, loving, and most of all; dogs are members of the family. Our services provide a way for you to enhance the bond you have with your pup, while helping them learn to be better canine citizens. We don't focus on perfection. Here at From The Heart Training, we help set a solid foundation for you and your pup, which we believe will lead to a more well balanced dog, and a better relationship between you and them. We are excited to help you achieve your training goals!!

It's been 10 days since Dixie came back from 2 weeks with Victoria and what a difference! I knew Dixie was going to be a challenge early on. I could NOT walk her at all and tried to rule the house. I can now walk her and enjoy it! I also use "place" which is sooo helpful. Without Victoria's help identifying Dixie's personality and some other issues and how to work on them I would be going nuts.

We brought our GSP/Border Collie/Boxer mix to Victoria as a final effort to keep him in our family. We had tried everything to keep him from running, jumping the fence, digging holes, chewing the bark off trees, jumping on kids and guests, and urinating in the house. We left him with Victoria for 2 weeks and were ecstatic with the results.
He truly is a changed dog. And I am a changed owner. Victoria's communication is unparalleled. Long and thorough daily reports, video recorded training sessions with voice-over to highlight key points, and a focus on 'training the trainer' were very beneficial.
I would highly recommend Victoria, she worked a miracle.

Victoria is absolutely incredible. My dog Penny was dealing with really bad anxiety (separation anxiety, meeting strangers), reacting to dogs or people against our fence, and pulling on the leash during walks. Victoria really helped me understand my dogs personality and what I could do to soothe her anxiety. She also has great communication and quick to respond to questions. She sent us great learning material after our lessons which were so helpful. Within one training session I could tell a difference in my dogs behavior. Now that we have had several lessons, Penny has become an incredibly well-behaved dog. She is much more calm, is quicker to warm up to people, and walks so well I forget she's even walking next to me. I would recommend Victoria to anyone!

Victoria has been the biggest help with our boxer puppy! We recently lost her senior sister, and we were having some separation and anxiety issues. After a few short digital meetings with Victoria, making some walk adjustments, adding extra "busy work" training, Olive is thriving once again.
Even though we are clear across the state, Victoria frequently supplies us with tips and ticks videos, how to instructions and more.
Best training around!

Victoria did an amazing job helping us with our high-drive, shy Border Collie. He is a sweetie pie, but he was skittish around people and other dogs and at home was trying to run the household. He spent 2 weeks with Victoria and he came home a much more confident and mannered dog. He is only 7 months old and still very much a puppy, but she provided us with training tools and techniques that have given us the confidence to manage and train him in an effective way. We are really enjoying our time with Flynn. He’s super smart and fun to train, in part because Victoria gave us a great base to work from. Can’t wait to see where he is at in 6 months!
