Dog Training in the Greater Tampa Bay area

Heide Maglott

 

👋 Hello Tampa Bay!


Welcome to Cultured Canines of Tampa — formerly known as Pawzercise Dog Training, LLC! We’re thrilled to bring positive, science-based dog training to this vibrant and pet-loving community.


🐾 Meet the Trainer Behind the Leash


I’m the founder of Cultured Canines, and my lifelong love of animals is what led me to become a professional dog trainer. With over 26 years of hands-on experience working with dogs, I’ve made it my mission to help families build better relationships with their dogs through clear communication, compassion, and force-free methods only.

I proudly follow the guiding philosophy of No Pain. No Force. No Fear. That’s not just a tagline—it’s a commitment I live by every day. The science is clear: positive reinforcement training is not only effective, but it also strengthens the bond between you and your dog in a way that punishment-based methods simply can’t.


🌟 From Pet Sitting to Passion


My professional journey began in North Central Ohio, where I launched a full-time dog walking and pet sitting service while also offering part-time training. It wasn’t long before my clients began asking for more help—whether with their rowdy adolescent dog, a new puppy, or unwanted behaviors like jumping, barking, or pulling on leash.

That’s when I knew it was time to focus on training full-time—and I’ve never looked back.

Now based in Hillsborough County, Florida, Cultured Canines of Tampa is the evolution of that dream: helping families enjoy life with a well-mannered dog, using only kind, humane, and proven techniques.


🌎 Areas We Serve


Cultured Canines proudly serves pet parents throughout Hillsborough, Pasco, Pinellas, Polk Counties and more. Whether we're training in your home, your neighborhood, a public park, or a busy downtown area, our sessions are built around real-life environments where you and your dog live and learn together.


📚 Credentials & Philosophy


I’m a:
✔️ Certified AKC Canine Good Citizen (CGC) Evaluator
✔️ Certified AKC Temperament Test (ATT) Judge
✔️ Member of the Association of Professional Dog Trainers (APDT)
✔️ Advocate of Force-Free, Positive Reinforcement Training

Every lesson I teach is built on trust, choice, and collaboration—never intimidation or fear.


🐶 Why I Do This Work


I believe every pet parent deserves to enjoy a calm, happy, and connected life with their dog. Whether you're raising a new puppy, working through reactivity, or just dreaming of stress-free walks and polite greetings at the door—I’m here to help you get there.

Cultured Canines of Tampa was founded on that very belief. Helping dogs and their humans thrive together is more than a job—it’s what I was meant to do. Every morning, I wake up grateful for the chance to do what I love.

Let’s help your dog become the well-mannered, confident companion you’ve always dreamed of. 💛
