About Heart Dog Behavior and Training

What they offer

Heart Dog Behavior and Training is a two-trainer business offering in-home training services in the Albuquerque area. Both trainers spent years on the behavior team of a local animal shelter before starting the business, and they work with dogs of all ages.

Services

Private behavior and training sessions take place one on one at home, and in the environment where a behavior happens where possible, to help dogs with problems such as reactivity toward other dogs and learn new life skills. Sessions are sold as a four-session package. Separation anxiety training is done virtually with kind, gentle, humane methods, led by a certified separation anxiety trainer. Booking starts with an interest form.

Approach

The trainers change behavior with rewards-based, positive reinforcement and say they never use tools that cause a dog fear or pain. Training focuses on manners cues, while behavior consulting handles more complex problems like reactivity and separation anxiety.
