About Heather’s K9 Community

What they offer

Heather's K9 Community is a Phoenix dog trainer that specializes in aggressive and reactive dogs. The site also says Heather teaches employees in various industries, from delivery drivers to real estate agents and home health aides, how to encounter dogs safely at work.

Programs

The Train-YOU-to-Train-Your-Dog In-Home Program starts with a three-hour in-home intensive, followed by eight weekly one-hour private coaching sessions on leash work, obedience and household manners, with written plans and support between sessions. Board and train runs in four, six and eight week tracks: the four-week track is for lower-risk dogs and tune-ups and is not meant for severe reactivity or complex aggression, while the longer tracks are residential rehabilitation programs with an intake assessment, weekly video updates and owner transfer sessions.

The trainer

The about page says Heather came to dog training after a 25-year career in the medical field and is coming into her fifth year as a trainer.
