Heidi Kluess has been teaching dog obedience classes professionally for the last nine years. She started really developing her dog training skills after she adopted Sadie Fox, who was very afraid of people. Heidi and Sadie enrolled in a beginning agility class and were hooked! Shortly after that, Heidi met a fantastic dog trainer that helped her train Max the Menace more effectively. Sadie Fox and Max the Menace have 10+ agility titles between them. Max the Menace and Heidi also competed in Obedience and he earned his CD and Rally Excellent titles. Max is also a Canine Good Citizen.
Training Philosophy
Heidi believes in the 3 F’s of training:
