About True Bond Canine: Portland Dog Training

Private positive reinforcement training

True Bond Canine offers private, one-on-one dog training in Portland and surrounding areas, in-home or virtual, rooted in "ethical, science-based training techniques focused on positive reinforcement." Founder Heidi holds the CPDT-KA and Karen Pryor Academy Certified Training Partner (KPA CTP) credentials, with CBATI-KA in progress.

What it covers

Training focuses on reactivity, anxiety, fear, impulse control and hyperactivity, along with puppy training and obedience from basic manners to advanced commands. Each session includes a comprehensive recap with skill descriptions, handouts and videos, and a free 15-minute consultation lets owners ask about methods and discuss their dog's behavior first.

About the founder

Heidi's journey into dog training began in 2013 with a Tamaskan. She competes in dog sports including bikejoring, rally obedience, agility, trick training, nose work and barn hunt, and her older dog Navarre holds multiple Trick Dog, Rally Novice, Nose Work and Barn Hunt titles. Before training she spent 22 years managing global events and field marketing programs.
