About this trainer

Heather Adams

Heather Adams graduated from the Karen Pryor Academy for Animal Training and Behavior in 2008. She has been helping hundreds of families enjoy their dogs more by making sure they actually listen.

Training Philosophy

Heather believes it’s important to be a great dog trainer, but it’s just as important to be a great teacher. She is a graduate of the Teacher Certification Program at the University at Buffalo and has practical experience teaching biology and science to all age groups, in addition to over 14 years teaching people how to train their dogs.

Services

Heather’s Dog School offers a variety of training programs, including:

  • Essential Dog:

    This program is perfect for families whose dogs need some help with listening skills around the house. This program is typically accomplished in about 6 lessons.

  • Peach on a Leash:

    This program is perfect for families that want their dogs to listen better around the house, but would also love the freedom of their dog listening around more distractions. This program is typically accomplished in about 10 lessons.

  • Go Everywhere Do Anything:

    This program is for the family who wants that go everywhere and do everything dog, but is not quite sure how to achieve it. You need a long term game plan that keeps you on the path of achieving all your goals without continued costs! This program is typically accomplished in about 3 months with weekly lessons.

  • Agility Start Right Program (Private Training):

    This one-on-one coaching program is the most efficient way to learn agility skills. Many of Heather’s students choose to continue private lessons after this program because it is the best and fastest way to reach their goals. Others choose to join a class when they’re ready, as class can be a great way to practice around distractions.
