Heather is available on a limited bases for the services below:
"In every interaction, either you are teaching your dog or they are training you to act a certain way. Most behavior "problems" are actually normal behaviors for a dog, but often not acceptable to us. Your dog can not learn to act in a different way on their own, they need you to help them or they will continue to get better at their current behavior."
