What My Puppy Clients Have to Say:
“Heather walked Mac and me through a stress free training. Mac was approximately 6/7 months old when she first came to visit and get to know him as well as me! Mac immediately felt at ease. Although Mac and I had already connected from day one Heather taught Mac how to look at me in the eyes and wait for command. In addition to commands, Heather taught us a variety of activities that we could do to keep him active and engaged and documented the activities for me to continue training afterwards. Having a hands on trainer meant a lot for Mac and me.”
— Sherri Hall & Mac
“We looked for a trainer for our 8 month old Australian Terrier as he was full of energy. Heather was recommended to us and we met weekly on Zoom. She was able to "train" us how to corral our puppy's energy into something we are so proud of today. He is now a well behaved two year old who listens and obeys. He still has tons of energy, but because of Heather's guidance, we have been able to help our smart puppy become a joyful and happy adult dog. Thanks Heather.”
— Natalie Johnson & Gunner
“Heather is amazing!!!! I had never done any type professional training with any of my dogs, but our newest puppy Novalee was definitely in need of some. A huge thing with us was that we didn’t want to send her off somewhere and thankfully with Heather I didn’t have to!! She was there with us every step of the way making sure to answer every question and follow up making sure we were doing okay throughout the week. I can’t brag on this girl enough…she truly is wonderful at her job!! If you’re looking for someone to help with your babies you will not be disappointed with her!”
— Jyssica Robinson & NovaYou’re Not Alone—I’ve Helped Hundreds of Puppy Owners Through This
I'm Heather Travis. I've been working professionally with dogs since 2005. I have experience working in veterinary clinics, grooming salons, animal shelters, pet specialty retail, dog walking...
AND I have been a dog trainer for over 13 years.
What I’ve learned in all these years is this:
Most puppy owners don’t struggle because they don’t care or aren’t trying.
They struggle because they’re guessing what to do (or trying to implement bits and pieces of advice from multiple sources).
They struggle because they’re inconsistent, without realizing it or meaning to be.
They struggle because they don’t have the right support when things go wrong or something changes.
My method is simple.
I meet you where you are with empathy and without judgement.
I break things down into clear, actionable steps.
I support you step by step until it clicks!
A Better Approach To Puppy Training: Puppy Memberships
The traditional puppy training model doesn’t work - a 6 week chaotic group class or a handful of one-off private sessions doesn’t create lasting behavior change.
You may learn some tricks and tips—but without ongoing guidance and consistency, it can be hard to apply things in real life and know whether you’re on the right track.
My Puppy Memberships are designed to give you ongoing guidance, structure, and support as your puppy grows and changes.
Together, we work through the process step by step so you always know:
What to focus on
How to handle challenges as they come up
What adjustments to make when something isn’t working
You’re not expected to figure this out alone.
What This Looks Like
Through your membership, you’ll receive:
Personalized guidance based on your puppy and your family’s lifestyle
Regular coaching sessions for accountability and progress
A clear, step-by-step training plan
Ongoing support between sessions
Help applying training to real-life situations, not just during a lesson
This allows us to build:
Foundational skills first
Then consistency in application and practice
Then reliability in real-life
That’s when things start feeling calmer, easier, and more predictable.
Real Progress Takes Consistency
Puppy training isn’t about quick fixes.
It’s about building communication, habits, and routines that last long-term.
Most clients work with me for a few months while we build that foundation together and that’s when they start seeing the biggest changes in both their puppy’s behavior and their own confidence.
You don’t need to have everything figured out right now.
You just need the right guidance and support along the way.
I Work With a Limited Number of Clients at a Time
To make sure every client gets real support, not just surface-level advice, I keep my schedule limited.
Most clients start within 1–2 weeks depending on availability.
