“Heather is amazing! She is friendly, fun and so smart about all things dog related. Since Archie has taken this latest class with both me and my husband he has become a better listener to my husband, he wasn’t reliable in “come” for him but now he listens better to him. He is primarily my dog so I love to see this. I’ve also noticed he is even more snuggly with me than prior to this class, maybe he is cold or maybe it’s an even stronger bond than we had before.” – Sarah W. & Bernedoodle Archie, reviewing their Fun Tricks class with Heather Peterson

“Friendly and great with dogs. Knowledgeable about how to train dogs and correcting unwanted behaviors. Allowing puppy potty breaks. The instructor was amazing! We focused on training and she showed us how to do the skill. Previously went to a pet store training and we were pretty much given a book and told to follow the book. I also liked that we reviewed precious week content ad well. Overall great class and instructor. Looking forward to the next class with Milo!” -Bouathong T. & Samoyed Milo reviewing their AKC STAR Puppy class with Heather Peterson
