What They Say About Us
“Heidi is a magician! In 45 minutes a few days ago, she taught me and Ellie, my daughter’s overly enthusiastic dog, how to settle down and greet me politely. Ellie is a fairly new rescue for my daughter and Ellie is super friendly and jumps on everyone coming in the door. Unfortunately, being jumped on and sat on is not something I cared for, so I had a training session with Heidi and Ellie. In one session, Ellie and I learned, with kindness, lots of treats and praise, how to have Ellie settle herself down, greet me while sitting and lie at my feet, calmly and quietly. We both had a lot to learn and remembered it. When I came back the next day, Ellie was a different dog (and I guess I was different too). I had treats ready, and Ellie sat quietly. Success! Thank you Heidi.”
