When Training Feels Impossible...

Do you feel like your dog just doesn’t listen to you? Maybe every walk turns into a tug-of-war, or you can’t stop them from jumping on guests no matter how many times you say “no.” You’ve tried everything—calling their name, chasing after them when they won’t come, even sitting through chaotic training classes that left you feeling more frustrated than before.

It’s exhausting, isn’t it? You love your dog, but all you really want is for them to listen—to come when called, to stop jumping, and to be the well-behaved companion you know they can be.

Training That Works for You and Your Dog

At Heather’s Dog School, we get it. We know how overwhelming it can feel when nothing seems to work. That’s why our approach is different. We focus on building trust, understanding your dog’s unique personality, and creating a plan that works for your lifestyle.

Our methods aren’t just about quick fixes—they’re about real, lasting results. Imagine a dog that listens to you with joy and trust, and a life where walks, visits, and everyday moments are easier and more enjoyable.

You don’t have to figure this out alone. We’re here to help.

GET STARTED

Hey, It's Heather!

I enjoy life with my husband and 4 dogs. We love to hike, camp, canoe, and compete in agility and sheep herding. Check out the slide show below to see some of our adventures.

I graduated from the Karen Pryor Academy for Animal Training and Behavior in 2008. Since then I’ve had the great joy of helping hundreds of families enjoy their dogs more by making sure they actually listen! It’s been very rewarding along the way.

I love teaching both dogs and people in our programs that help families with things like jumping, pulling on the leash and coming when they’re called…and even fun agility classes to help families teach their dogs to pay more attention to them.

Learn More About Heather

"My dog Divot and I attended an agility fundamentals workshop run by Heather's Dog School today. It was a great experience for both of us. Heather's training was professional, well-planned, and very well presented. We practiced the activities at the training and Heather observed progress, assisted with problems, and made suggestions for how to follow up with my pup at home. Heather is a very down-to- earth, approachable person who obviously loves dogs and communicates effectively with her clients! I definitely recommend Heather's Dog School and hope to train with Heather again in the future."

Heather’s Dog Agility Start Right program is so helpful! I am brand new to agility as is my dog Piper. The videos help you with the foundational steps that are so important. It is fun to be able to practice at home with your own make shift equipment.

The videos are easy and fun to watch, and it helps seeing Heather working with her own dog in her living room. Watching the videos and practicing before going to class really helped me too! Thank you, Heather!

Andrea Payne

We did private lessons with Heather and could not be happier with the training we received. Our biggest concern was leash walking with our 80 pound dog, he would pull and drag us everywhere. Heather helped us fix all that. Now he walks very nicely even when taking a hike in the woods and our walks are much more pleasant. Heather is extremely knowledgeable and helpful. I recommend her training to anyone looking to strengthen their bond with their fur babies.

Jenny McMartin-Eck

Heather is amazing! We started Fred in private lessons because we were unsure of how he would be with other dogs. She worked with him (really worked with us) to build social skills to make new friends. Now we are more confident on how to introduce him to other dogs.

She is a very patient instructor and has taught Fred (and us) so much! The agility class is a lot of fun and is a fun activity to with him.
