From The Heart Dog Training

I started with Victoria at the end of March after getting a 4 month labador retriever. She was very supportive and accommodating at scheduling me in for puppy day care-this is my first lab and I was anxious. My pup now 6 months continues with the daycare program and he as well as myself are learning and growing 🙌 and it's amazing to use the techniques to apply at home 🏡 especially with an energetic lab! I also work crazy hours. I am at ease to know my pup is in good hands with Victoria and Mel.

Victoria is amazing! She helped us through some really tough days with our 1 year old dog—especially with the constant biting and anxiety. I was deep in the puppy blues, but with her support and smart, thoughtful guidance, our dog has totally transformed. He no longer bites for attention, is much more confident, and thanks to Victoria (aka the leash-walking magician), he walks like a total pro now! She genuinely cares, always checks in, and makes you feel supported every step of the way. We’re so grateful for her and couldn’t recommend her more! We also love taking our little Charlie to day care with Victoria and her team! We know he is well taken care of, and always comes home tired out from a fun day of activities!

Working with Victoria and Mel at From the Heart has been a life-changing investment. I adopted Scarlett, a 3-year-old with serious anxiety, reactivity, and behavioral issues. After one in-home session with Victoria and a two-week boot camp, I could hardly believe the transformation. Scarlett went from frantic and impulsive to calm, confident, and focused. Victoria created a plan tailored to her needs, and the daily videos and report cards were incredibly helpful—I still rewatch them often. A month ago, I couldn’t imagine walking Scarlett calmly around other dogs or in public spaces. Now, we both have the tools to succeed—and I’ve learned just as much as she has. This program isn’t just about training your dog—it’s about growing as an owner, setting boundaries, and creating a balanced relationship. Scarlett will absolutely return for refreshers, and I can’t recommend From the Heart highly enough.

I’ve been working with Victoria and Mel for the last 6 months with my dog Sadie. I took Sadie to other local trainers and doggy daycares but while she doesn’t have major issues to work through, I felt that they weren’t a good fit for my anxious dog. Sadie started doing weekly daycare with the intention of eventually doing board and train. I already noticed a huge difference from their structured daycare, and a even bigger difference from board and train. Sadie walks way better on a leash and her confidence is growing! The structured days and report cards I received are also helpful for me to learn where I can improve for my dog as well. I can’t say enough good things about them! Thanks again ladies :)
