I have worked in the dog business for a short time, but learned quickly what kind of training I wanted to see for our family's new puppy. Heather let me audit a class before joining as I am particular, and I was thrilled with what I saw. We have completed two full courses and are signed up for more. Heather is teaching really valuable skills and Figment (our pup) LOVES to learn and come to class. It can be overwhelming for a laiman but she provides everything taught online and that makes it easy to refer back to what we've learned and drill it. The building blocks she lays down for the people and the dog(s) are essential and I'm thrilled we found her off of a recommendation from our vet!

Business response

Jess, this absolutely made my day! Figment lights up every single class and it has been such a joy watching you all build those foundation skills together. Thank you for auditing first, asking great questions, and trusting us with your new pup. So happy the online materials are helping you practice at home, and we cannot wait for the next course with you all! 💜 Heather & the Mystic Paws team

Fran, this made our day! Fearful rescue pups hold such a special place in our hearts, and watching yours blossom with small classes and that extra personal attention has been an absolute joy. Thank you for trusting us with your sweet pup, we cannot wait to see you all in class again! 💜 Heather & the Mystic Paws team
