Pricing: Custom Packages
No matter which service you choose, I'm not coming in simply to train your dog and hand them back to you.
I'll help you see what I'm seeing, understand what your dog may be communicating, and learn what to do in the everyday moments when I'm not there.
We'll work on the skills that matter to your family while also considering your dog's confidence, comfort, emotional wellness, and ability to learn.
The goal isn't just a dog who knows more. It's a dog and human who understand each other better.
Tailored Plan Starts at 4 Weeks • 1 Hour/Week
Custom-tailored plans addressing your specific challenges, lifestyle, and goals: greeting guests politely, foundation skills like sit, stay, and recall, reducing reactivity, building confidence in anxious dogs, and more. Every program is designed around your dog's unique needs and your family's specific goals.

Loose-Leash Walking Trainer-Led or Co-Training Options
Designed to transform chaotic pulling into calm walking. We build a solid foundation so your dog learns to think for themselves and walk easily by your side using positive reinforcement.
Tell Heide what daily life with your dog looks like right now and what you want it to look like. No pressure, no scripts.
Once the program is confirmed, we take care of the essentials: proof of vaccine verification, agreements, and scheduling.
You get a plan built around your dog, your home, and your goals — reward-based from the very first session.
Every program hands the skills back to you, so the results keep working long after the last session ends.

Programs are quoted per package rather than per hour, because every dog and household is different. Current structure: Custom Packages. Heide gives you an exact number on your free 30-minute call.
In your home and in the real-world places you and your dog actually go across Tampa, FL — not in a training facility. Skills learned in a quiet training room rarely survive first contact with a real sidewalk.
Positive reinforcement only. Your dog learns by earning good outcomes, which keeps them a willing, confident participant and is exactly why the results last. Every program is built on trust, clear two-way communication, and cooperative learning.
Proof of current veterinary vaccines and a willingness to practise between sessions. Heide will confirm exactly what your program needs on the consultation call.
A ten-skill course focused on manners and responsible ownership, including public field trips so your dog can practice in real-world distraction. Testing and the official AKC CGC ribbon are included.
Explore ProgramWe do the training work in your home while you are at work, then transfer every skill to you in a weekly lesson. A calm, stay-at-home alternative to board-and-train.
