Hey, I’m Heidi🙋‍♀️
Do you love your dog but struggle to live with them?😩
Learn why your dog doesn’t listen and what to do about it🤯
Start here 👇 I CAN HELP!

Do you wish your dog would listen to you the first time, every time, even under REALLY high distraction? Is your dogs behaviour becoming increasingly difficult to manage? Do you have a new puppy and want to ensure they grow into fantastic, easy to have around family members? Yes- even your dog! Hi, I'm Heidi and I teach dog owners how to teach their dogs to be well behaved in every situation so they can truly have them as part of their lives and families.

If you feel guilty because you LOVE your dog, you see them as part of the family, BUT…
Taking them on family outings is a nightmare. You dread walks. You lock them away when visitors come over. You find yourself yelling at them at home because they’re driving you crazy.

You love your dog, but sometimes, living with them is really hard.

You’re not alone. ❤️

And you’re not a lost cause. Neither is your dog.

Love is the perfect starting point.

Because loving your dog isn’t just about giving them affection, a comfy bed and a place in your family. It’s also about teaching them the skills they need to be part of your life.

To enjoy family outings. To go on walks you actually look forward to. To be included rather than constantly shut away.

Your dog deserves a great quality of life, and you deserve to enjoy life with them.

With the right training, those two things can absolutely go hand in hand. ❤️

So many dog owners feel embarrassed about their dogs behaviour, lots of owners don’t seek help because they’re embarrassed to tell a trainer about their problem and worried they’ll be judged for what they’ve done or haven’t done.

Firstly, we all do the best we can with the knowledge, resources and circumstances we have at the time. We can’t change the past, but we can learn, grow, and make different choices with what we know today… so there is no judgement from me AT ALL.

… but also the results are worth the temporary embarrassment.

Imagine looking back at your dogs life wishing you could have done more together but couldn’t because you were too embarrassed to get help.

And lastly, if your trainer makes you feel like sh*t… get a new trainer.

I love enrichment toys, I love training, I love walks, I love play… but nothing really beats a good hike surrounded by nature 🥾🍃

Boundary setting is an extremely underrated skill in my opinion.

Yes, it’s a very practical skill. It makes having your dog inside more manageable. It keeps dirty feet off the carpet. It stops your dog wandering into areas of the house they don’t need access to.

Yes, it’s important for safety. So they learn not to race out the front door, rush through a gate or barge into areas without being invited.

But there’s another reason I teach boundaries that I think gets overlooked… it’s a really simple way of establishing leadership in your home.

Your dog gets to have fun, they get to relax, they get to enjoy being part of the family… But there are still behaviour expectations.

You set the boundaries.
You communicate the expectations.
You decide when they have access.

And that consistent communication subtly reinforces an important that ‘You live here, you’re part of the family, but ultimately I call the shots.’
That’s not about being harsh or mean.

It’s about preventing entitlement and teaching your dog that freedom comes with boundaries.

Dogmanship Training Academy member can learn exactly how to teach this in the phase 3 section 👍

If I want a dog who listens under distraction OUT of the house, I first need a dog who listens WITH distraction IN the house.

If she can’t hold a drop while my kids run around dropping food at home, she’s going to struggle to lay at my feet in a cafe.
You build the distraction up in layers. Eg, food, noise, movement…until it’s genuinely hard to think of a situation she won’t listen in.
You don’t start training for a scenario in the scenario… you prepare so the scenario becomes the logical next step.

Reach out and I’ll show you how📲

I don’t want my dog to need food in order to listen to me.
Motivators like food are a fantastic tool but they shouldn’t become a crutch.
