FirstBarkHeidi did a wonderful job working with our large windhound. She taught us and Winston some great lessons. We have added some new tools to the box to use with him. We still have work to do as we all know, training is an ongoing process. Heidi brought confidence, knowledge and experience to every lesson, grateful for her energy and commitment to correcting unwanted K9 behavior.

About HeidiPaws
HEIDI KERR CERTIFIED PROFESSIONAL DOG TRAINER (CPDT-KA) I am a professional dog trainer with a certification from Animal Behavior College and Certified Professional Dog Trainer-Knowledge Assessed, as well as a member of the Association of Professional Dog Trainers. My philosophy is simple: By understanding how a dog thinks and learns, you can use clear communication and positive reinforcement to teach, prevent, and modify behavior. Research proves that reward-based training delivers faster results in less time while enhancing the human-animal bond. Best results come when each desired behavior is rewarded with a reinforcer, something the dog likes (treats/praise), and the inappropriate behavior is not rewarded at all. Reward the good; ign

Hands down the best trainer ever! My dog (a toy poodle) was out of control. Heidi came in and did her magic. My dog is a totally well behaved little guy now and we are all much happier for it. If you want a quality dog trainer who actually cares about you and your pet, hire her now. trust me, you won't regret it!
Heidi is incredible. She helped train my jack russell puppy and helped house break her. I learned how to be a great dog parent and how even some quirks I thought were my dogs personality were actually signs of anxiety and fear. My dog is a great walker, retriever, listener, and protector now with Heidi's guidance. Highly recommend her to all who are looking for help.
Best trainer ever ! We love her and all she taught us to be a great puppy parents . She is all about positive behaviors, let the dog learn and still have his own personality. My dog loved every single time he spent with her❤️.
Heidi is so incredible - she helped guide me thru the puppy to post-puppy phase with my aussiedoodle and it was a complete game changer. Hire her! Relieve your and your dogs stress!
