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!!

We can’t thank Victoria enough for all the work she’s done with our boy Bruce and helping us understand what he needs. We’ve done both her one on one classes and sent him to the two week training. Both have made a huge difference. Bruce is all around happier and calmer. He went from counter surfing, toy chewing and stealing, pushy/demanding behavior to a chill pup who loves a good walk and game of fetch. I highly recommend From the Heart Dog Training and Victoria for a pet owner who wants to understand their companion and build a relationship built on trust - for a real fix not just a quick fix. Thanks again, Shauna and Colin

Victoria is a gifted professional and generally lovely person. We've been working with Victoria and her assistant, Mel for over a year and have been able to create a great bond with our 2 yr old Golden Mountain dog, Pretzel under their tutelage.
They helped us refine our puppy into an amazing family dog that can join us on all our adventures. I've learned so much about training and behavior and I feel that that has really helped make the difference - it's not just about training the dog - the handler needs to know what they are doing and why.
Victoria, thanks so much for all you have done for our family!

We have nothing but positive things to say about Victoria and her staff at From the Heart Training. Victoria came to our home at a time when things were so chaotic that we actually questioned our decision about getting a puppy. We were stressed and exhausted. She quickly identified many things that we were able to work on. Things began to improve and we started to feel better about our decision and felt hopeful. We decided to further invest in their week long training camp and it made a world of difference. We still have a lot of practice and follow through at home but we noticed a 100% improvement. We are so thankful to have found Victoria. 🙏

Victoria and Mel are the best! It is evident how much they care and bond with the dogs they are training. Our puppy, Bentley, has made incredible strides with their training and even at 5 months old, he has gotten multiple compliments from strangers passing by on how well behaved he is. Plus, Bentley absolutely loves his training sessions and daycare time! Joining the online pack also has so many videos to enhance training that give real time advice on walking, place work, etc. I could not recommend From The Heart more!

Excellent dog training service! We did the private in-home training and the training camp with Victoria for our puppy Beau. He had a lot of anxiety and low self-confidence before working with Victoria; she was quickly able to identify trouble areas for him and provide remedies. He came home from training camp with so much more confidence and an overall happier, more relaxed disposition. Every night while Beau was at training camp Victoria would post photos, videos, a summary about how the day went for Beau, and numerous tips on what we can do at home. Victoria really understands and cares deeply about dogs; her compassion and patience was just what our puppy needed to be his best self!
