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!!

Before working with Victoria- our dog would leash pull, was afraid of noises, he lacked confidence, and had really bad anxiety. He was our owner rather than us being his at times. After working with her we are the owners again, he is now impressively obedient, a pleasure to take on walks, and his anxiety and confidence are drastically different. Victoria was understanding, helpful, gave great guidance and helped us learn how to give our dog the support he needed, yet not let him be the boss of us in the process! I would highly recommend her. It will strengthen/change your relationship with your pup for the better!

We are so pleased with the transformation of our sweet boxer pup, Joey! He spent three weeks with Victoria and her training partner, Amanda. The difference is night and day. Before Joey trained with them, he was unsocialized and everything was pretty much on Joey’s terms. Now he is such a good boy and listens and follows all of the commands ( come, sit, down, place, and off) He can also go on walks or into stores and not be reactive when encountering other people or dogs. We missed Joey so much while he was in training, but every night we received photos and videos as well as a detailed report card outlining the progress Joey made that day. Even when he came home, Victoria continued to check in with us to see how Joey was doing and offered support and advice when needed. I would highly recommend From the Heart Training. You will will be amazed at what they can do for you and your pup!

Hi everyone. I wanted to let you know about From The Heart Dog Services. We used to own an unruly Frenchie puppy. She used to bolt out the
door, jump on people, not recognize social cues from other dogs etc. We now own a polite dog that sits when we open our front door, heels on
walks without zig zagging on the leash and much more. Victoria the owner does her training by the hour or the dog can go to her. We choose to do the longer overnight program.
She boards dogs as well even if she hasn't trained.
We’re so excited to have a safe and calm dog that we can enjoy for the rest of her life.
Thank you Victoria

Victoria did lessons with us and our two year old lab/shepherd mix and it was LIFE CHANGING! I can remember many of times crying because I had a 90 pound dog pulling me on walks or through Lowes. I couldn’t take him to art shows or my kids sporting events because all he wanted to do was greet people and play with other dogs he saw. Taking him off leash in the yard was dangerous because he only listened on his own time. We decided to do the lessons so we could take him on vacation with us and enjoy it. Now he walks without a leash daily in multiple settings, comes 100 percent of the time (and on my time now), and can remain in a sit or a down whenever we need him to- even with distractions. My young kids can walk him and take him outside to play without a leash. Victoria was amazing and I cant even put a dollar amount on this training because it is truly worth every penny!!

Victoria is wonderful with both dog and human. She was great at explaining steps and the why behind them. She was available to answer questions and would check in to see how we were progressing. She was really great at training me, which is really what I needed so that I was consistent with training my pup. We loved working with her and I highly recommend her.
