Heeling House has an exciting announcement! We are opening a new training center in Leesburg!

The training center will offer a range of training opportunities from puppy and basic group classes through sport and one on one training. If you want to do more with your dog come check us out!

We will be celebrating our grand opening on Saturday, April 26th from 10:00AM - 12:00 PM. Bring the whole family to take a look at the new facility, speak to a trainer about training opportunities, and participate in family fun giveaways. Heeling House Therapy Dogs will be there for fun activities and extra snuggles.

Currently scheduled kids' programs including Kid Night and Junior Trainer Spring camp will be held at the Sterling location through June. All kid programs will transition to the Leesburg location in Summer 2025. If you have questions about your specific enrollment, please reach out via email ([email protected]) and we would be happy to answer your questions.

Therapy dogs are just amazing and absolutely life changing! Their love and attention can change someone's attitude in seconds. And who doesn't love a furry confidant you can tell your secrets to? That's why we are asking you to donate today to the Heeling House Therapy Dog program on today's Give Choose donation day.

Today, the Community Foundation is hosting the community's largest day of giving with the goal of helping local nonprofits expand and maintain their programs. This year, Heeling House is channeling donations into our Therapy Dog Program. Heeling House therapy dogs support so many programs within the community including school destress days, reading at the library, one on one therapy support, and Kid Nights at the Heeling House.

While our therapy dogs are handled and cared for by our amazing volunteers, there are a number of costs to keep the program running. There are business expenses to keep visitors and volunteers safe! (Boring business stuff, but safety and operating costs are important!) Then there are the arts and crafts during Kid Night and the fun trading cards given out at visits (you gotta' get 'em all!) And most importantly, we are looking to revitalize our in-house PACK program. This will include hands on activities for teens to participate in and the cost of supplies can add up. While we rely on volunteers, we also rely on our communities and appreciate everyone's support!

If you are interested in supporting Heeling House with a donation, just visit www.givechoose.org and donating today, March 25 from midnight to midnight.

A huge thank you to StageCoach Theatre Company for letting our service puppies in training join them last evening for an amazing show of Magic and Mischief with Dr.Ken Jones and Alec Negri! The pups had a wonderful time practicing good manners while out and were fascinated by everything they saw (don’t worry, we won’t give away any surprises).

Also a big thank you to Loudoun County Chamber of Commerce for connecting us!
