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.

This is one of the best dog training experiences I have EVER had. Heather is not only extremely passionate about what she does, but she DELIVERS. You will walk away with the tools you need for YOUR DOG. She works with each personality, takes time to understand you, your dogs and your expected lifestyle and gives you the tools to have a happy, loving and behaving relationship with your doggo. Heather has BIG DOG experience as well as smaller pooches. She is NOT afraid of any dog and LOVES all of them. Her whole team is there to make sure you and your pup are successful. I have had private and group lessons with Heather and she has taken the time to bond with my dogs, give them what they need as well as train me and my husband how to be better dog owners. I would honestly say this is THE BEST dog training I have ever had. Heather makes SURE you walk away with the skills you need. HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend!!!!

I have known Heather for most of her professional career, and I can without a doubt say that she is the best trainer I know. Doesn't matter the size, breed, temperament or level of difficulty, Heather uses her finely tuned problem solving skills to help both you and your dog become a better team! We all know that dog training isn't just training the dog, but it is also training the owner. She breaks down each command step-by-step, and will show you not only the hand signals used but the mechanics of the process. Nothing is better than seeing your dog have that "Ah-Ha" moment! She is truly a magician of her field. She will be the biggest cheerleader of you and your dog, and is always just a text away. She is constantly learning new tricks for her tool bag, and will always be up for a challenge! From spending weekends at police dog conferences, to sleeping in her truck cuddled up with her dogs to catch an early morning session. You will not find another trainer more dedicated to the growth of you and your dog than Heather Pope. So what are you waiting for, call her! You'll be glad you did!

I am a first time dog owner and Heather has been a life saver! Heather patiently answers all my questions - and there have been many, many questions! Heather's training classes provide effective in person instruction - she trains the dog owner, not the dog! Heather also provides written instructions to follow at home which is helpful in making sure you are working with your dog properly. Heather's love for dogs is apparent to both the dog and dog owner. Dogs respond positively to her calm, assertive demeanor. I'm so glad I found Heather and look forward to continuing our training with her!
