What people have asked about this business.

How old does puppy need to be to come to training?

We can get started with training as early as 8 weeks old, as long as the puppy is current on all age-appropriate vaccinations. Once the puppy is old enough, we require Bordetella and Rabies vaccinations as well.

We couldn’t be happier with Heather Pope and the training she provided for our new rescue dog, Rudy! Heather and her husband, Dave, were wonderful to work with from start to finish. They were patient, knowledgeable, encouraging, and genuinely cared about helping Rudy succeed. One of the things we appreciated most was that Heather didn’t just train Rudy—she trained Karen and me, too! She gave us practical tools and a solid foundation that we could continue using at home. It was heartwarming to see the bond that Heather made with Rudy in three short weeks of Board & Train. She was genuinely sad to see him go! We’ve been home for a week now, and Rudy is doing very well with the fundamentals he learned from Heather. It’s been exciting to see how much he has improved already, and we feel much more confident about continuing his training. We highly recommend Heather Pope to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, caring, and effective dog trainer. Thank you, Heather and Dave, for helping us get off to such a great start with Rudy!

Our first visit. They are very friendly and knowledgeable. Take time to talk to you and explaining what they are doing and why.

I've taken 3 of my dogs to heather and her staff. They do wonders and give ideas on how to train that sometimes you would never think to do! Keep up the great work!

Heather has helped me with 3 dogs. We did class training with Gunner, my GSD and Quincy, my Chinese Crested. Caleb, a Beagle/terrier mix, was more than I could get a handle on. He was active and strong willed. He went for 3 weeks of board/training with Heather. He is now a joy to have at home. The structure Heather gave him has helped him to be more settled and more willing to listen and work with me. I highly recommend Heather for any type of training. She is patient with the dogs and works with them as individuals with individual needs.
