Applause Your Paws Dog Training
Heather Lynn Sherman, the founder of Applause Your Paws Dog Training, has been a dog trainer for over six years. She started her business by offering private lessons in clients’ homes. She has a strong commitment to humane and fear-free training methods. She was inspired to open a training facility after a client suggested that she pre-sell training packages to raise the capital needed to open a facility. She was able to secure the necessary funds and opened the AYP Canine Training Center in South Miami. The business has since expanded to Broward County and is planning to expand to Blue Ridge, Georgia.
