Heidi helped me so much when my two little shih'tzu pups started up with barking and reactivity around the neighborhood. She helped me with strategies to manage and prevent the behaviors and they have improved so much since working with her. Not only is she really knowledgeable about dog behaviors, how to train and what works, but it is clear how much Heidi loves dogs. Both my pups absolutely adore her. I would recommend True Bond to anyone in the Portland area looking for a dog trainer. Don't hesitate!

I previously had a trainer who wanted to use the shock collar. Needless to say that is not the way I wanted my dog trained by fear and pain. Heidi is wonderful. Everything is reward based and my Annie who is a hyper mini doodle has responded so well. Heidi is patient and caring and truly loves dogs. My dog Annie is loving the training and is truly excited about about every sesseion. I have seen a 100% change in my dog and me. I highly recommend Heidi and True Bond Canine.

Heidi from True Bond Canine has been the lifeline that we needed. We have a very challenging rescue dog, Gemma. Heidi has employed techniques for us to use to help tamp down mild aggression and anxiety that consumes Gemma at times and can manifest into destructive behavior. Heidi is so easy to work with and is totally accessible for questions, concerns and help. Her training methods work! After 5 sessions and consistent training, the difference in our dog(s) is noticeable. I can’t recommend Heidi and True Bond Canine enough. If you have a challenging dog or if you want to have a stronger bond with your best friend, call Heidi our furry family members are worth It!

I can't say enough good things about Heidi! She took on my little Chihuahua, Teddy, who came to us with many anxiety issues. She taught me everything I needed to know about how to train Teddy. I've learned so much and Teddy did too! Heidi follows up each session with thoroughly written instructions on how to practice the lessons discussed. She also kept in contact with me regularly. If you're looking for a trainer, please contact Heidi. You will get a highly educated and experienced trainer to help you and your dog with any issues you have. I highly recommend True Bond Canine!

Heidi's training has been a game changer for addressing Izzy's anxiety and greeting behaviors. Thanks to her guidance, Izzy is now on a positive and calmer path, resulting in a much less reactive dog. We are not so worried now when guests visit her knocking someone over in excitement, such an improvement.
