Dog Training that works!

what's different about your dog training program?

With over two decades experience working with dogs and their owners I have learned what it takes to get you the results you are looking for in a short amount of time.  At Heel 2 Heal Dog Training and Puppy Training we are not just going to drill obedience commands into your dog, we want your dog to be able to think and engage in training so that it is a fun experience. While there is no doubt that obedience commands are essential to any dog training program and taught in all Heel 2 Heal Dog Dog Training programs, we also focus extensively on doggie manners and teaching your dog how to be polite and how to live harmoniously with the humans and other animals in their lives.... and around town!


A dog that learns a solid foundation of obedience training combined with structure, play, boundaries and manners is a dog that you can take anywhere!


I know you want to see results, and I know you want simple, yet effective training techniques that do not require lots of equipment and hours a day to implement.   But I also know there is no magic wand and I'm not carrying around a bag of fairy dust to solve all your problem in one big whoosh! Heel 2 Heal Dog Training also requires you to be a participant in the program, the program is not for every dog owner, but it is for every dog.  It doesn't matter what breed of dog you have, what age your dog is, whether your dog is reactive on the leash, darts out open doors, barks, doesn't listen, jumps on your guests, but what does matter is that you are committed to your dog and ready and excited to get started on your dog training journey with us!

Which program is right for my dog?

Every dog is different. The right program depends on:

  • Behavior history
  • Emotional state and stress levels
  • Age and life experience
  • Home environment and expectations

During your complimentary telephone consultation, we'll discuss your dog's needs to determine the program length that will best support lasting success - not just short term improvement.

Choosing the right duration is one of the most important factors in achieving real change. My Signature Program is the most popular program for the average dog and family.


The Heel 2 Heal board and train experience is priced to reflect the level of care, expertise, and individualized attention each dog receives.  This is a boutique program designed for lasting results - not a high volume or one size fits all approach.


For families seeking calm, clarity, and a deeper connection with their dog, these programs offers exceptional value and meaningful transformation.

Heel 2 Heal Foundation Dog Training Program

 

Adult Canine Foundations (4 Coaching Checkpoints)

Targeted Communication, Household Manners & Skill-Building

Designed for older puppies, teenagers, and adult dogs who need clearer communication, better leash manners, and a reset on household structure.

Rather than overwhelming you with endless drills, this focused program targets 1 to 2 core daily challenges (such as leash pulling or greeting guests) while establishing a solid foundation of focus and mutual respect.

What We Master Together:

  • Focus & Engagement Foundations Teaching your dog how to tune out household distractions, pay attention to you, and respond reliably to foundational cues (Sit, Down, Focus).
  • Loose-Leash Walking Fundamentals Eliminating constant pulling and establishing the mechanics for enjoyable, calm neighborhood walks.
  • Household Boundaries & Impulsive Behaviors Establishing clear "house rules" to curb minor frustration behaviors like jumping on counter-tops, demand barking, or door-bolting.
  • Emergency Recall Basics Building the groundwork for a reliable "Come when called" so your dog checks in with you when it matters.

What’s Included:

  • 4 Private In-Home Coaching Sessions: Hands-on instruction tailored directly to your home environment.
  • Customized Digital Blueprints: Clear, step-by-step homework sheets after each session so you always know what to practice.
  • Direct Trainer Support: Access to text/email guidance between sessions to troubleshoot challenges in real time.

Is This Program Right for You?

  • Best For: Dogs needing minor polish, young dogs needing basic manners, or committed owners looking for expert guidance on 1–2 specific daily goals.
  • Please Note: This program is designed for mild behavioral adjustments and fundamental skills. For complex behavior modification (such as leash reactivity, severe anxiety, or resource guarding), we recommend starting with our In-Home Behavior Consultation or progressing into our Training & Beyond Program.

Program Investment: $1,050.00


Real-World Manners Intensive

2.5-Hour In-Home Deep Dive

Designed for busy owners who need a targeted, high-impact solution for 1–2 specific daily frustrations without committing to a multi-week package.

  • Focus Areas: Rapidly fixing targeted issues such as door-bolting, chaotic guest greetings, counter-surfing, leash-pulling, or backyard boundary control.
  • What’s Included: 2.5 hours of continuous diagnostic coaching in your home, hands-on handler training, and a custom digital action blueprint to maintain your results.
  • Investment: $395.00

Heel 2 Heal Dog Training & Beyond Private Program

The Adult Training & Beyond Program


Comprehensive Behavior Modification, Real-World Reliability & Holistic Transformation

Designed for adolescent and adult dogs who need more than basic obedience. Whether your dog is struggling with leash reactivity, fear-based anxiety, poor impulse control, or you simply want advanced, off-leash real-world reliability, this comprehensive program provides deep behavioral transformation and sustainable, long-term support.

Rather than watching the clock or counting arbitrary hours, we focus entirely on mastery, emotional stability, and custom milestone achievements.


How the Program Works (The Milestone Model)

Behavior modification requires adaptability, not a rigid calendar. This program is structured around Up to 8 In-Depth Coaching Checkpoints used dynamically at your dog's natural learning pace.

  • The Graduation Rule: Once we determine that you and your dog have successfully mastered your core behavioral milestones and achieved real-world control, you graduate!
  • Your Milestone Bank: Any unused coaching checkpoints don't disappear. They are safely banked in your account for up to 6 months from your start date to use for seasonal refresher sessions, public distraction outings, or new environment challenges.

What We Master Together (The Advanced Curriculum)

This signature program builds upon our Canine Foundations blueprint and delves deep into complex behavior and holistic well-being:

  • Behavior Modification & Emotional Regulation Targeted protocols for leash reactivity, fears, anxieties, over-arousal, and impulse control. We teach your dog how to shift from a high-stress state into calm, thoughtful focus.
  • Advanced Leash Skills & Real-World Reliability Moving beyond basic walking mechanics to build a rock-solid, head-up "Heel" position and complete neutrality when passing dogs, people, or high-distraction triggers.
  • Lifestyle, Environment & Holistic Wellness Assessment Behavior doesn't happen in a vacuum. We evaluate your dog's complete daily ecosystem—including physical exercise, mental enrichment, body conditioning, nutrition, and stress levels—to support healing from the inside out.
  • In-Depth Owner Coaching & Strategy Extended, detailed coaching blocks designed to give you total confidence in reading your dog's body language, applying subtle leash mechanics, and managing real-world scenarios effortlessly.


What’s Included in Your Program:

  • Up to 8 Extended Coaching Checkpoints: Extended, detailed sessions allowing ample time for observation, real-life application, and hands-on practice.
  • Custom Behavioral Blueprints: Personalized action plans and video/text homework protocols tailored to your dog's evolving progress.
  • VIP Priority Trainer Support: Direct text and email access between sessions for real-time troubleshooting during challenging behavioral moments.

 

The 8 Behavioral Checkpoints Roadmap

Phase 1: Foundations & The Ecosystem (Checkpoints 1–2)

  • Checkpoint 1: The Environmental & Dynamic Reset
    • Goal: Diagnostic evaluation of the home ecosystem (routine, nutrition, exercise, triggers). Establishing household boundaries, resetting daily structure, and introducing stress-reduction protocols.
  • Checkpoint 2: Engagement & Pressure-Free Communication
    • Goal: Teaching the dog how to turn focus toward the owner on cue. Installing foundational leash mechanics, marker words, and initial impulse control games indoors.

Phase 2: Emotional Regulation & Leash Mastery (Checkpoints 3–4)

  • Checkpoint 3: The Neutrality Blueprint & Leash Mechanics
    • Goal: Transitioning leash skills outdoors. Building a structured "Heel" position, stopping pulling, and teaching the dog how to remain neutral in low-distraction neighborhood settings.
  • Checkpoint 4: Emotional De-escalation & Trigger Management
    • Goal: Introducing behavior modification protocols for specific triggers (dogs, bicycles, strangers). Teaching the owner how to read subtle body language and shift the dog from arousal to a calm state.

Phase 3: Real-World Reliability & Proofing (Checkpoints 5–6)

  • Checkpoint 5: Controlled Distraction Proofing
    • Goal: Practicing commands and emotional composure in controlled, medium-distraction environments (e.g., quiet parks or neighborhood perimeters).
  • Checkpoint 6: Public Manners & Environmental Navigation
    • Goal: Moving training into real-world South Florida settings (dog-friendly plazas, parks, outdoor dining areas). Building polite greetings, settled down-stays, and focus around active triggers.

Phase 4: Advanced Mastery & The Handover (Checkpoints 7–8)

  • Checkpoint 7: Off-Leash Foundations & Emergency Recall
    • Goal: Building distance and duration reliability. Establishing a rock-solid emergency recall ("Come when called") under real-world conditions using long-lines.
  • Checkpoint 8: Graduation & Lifetime Maintenance Plan
    • Goal: Final real-world evaluation, fine-tuning handler mechanics, and creating a long-term maintenance protocol. Any remaining unused checkpoints transition to your 6-month "Milestone Bank."

Best For: Complex or ongoing behavior challenges (reactivity/fear/anxiety), high-energy adolescent dogs, or owners seeking a deep, holistic education for lifetime results.

Program Investment: $1995.00
