About Heather
27 years practical experience plus years of study and commitment to learning gaining numerous qualifications - MBIPDT KC PDT as well as many seminars, residential training courses, and working with top trainers. I am a GERMAN SHEPHERD owner (4), breed KC reg top quality Dogs. I previously competed in obedience as one of my hobbies but now I also show my dogs. I have a background of working with rescued dogs and identifying their individual needs. Unfortunately it's humans that normally let animals down........so many dogs I have worked with over the years, have had no training, no social skills, often not given the chance to develop their own personalities, and have been cruelly treated, then dumped in a rescue centre. Then new owners come along and find difficulties. We then have to pick up the pieces, go back to basics whilst dealing with unwanted behaviours. This can be very hard work for the owner, and needs a committed owner with an experienced trainer. However, this is very rewarding seeing the change....... I have always throughout my life, been involved with animal welfare, privately finding suitable homes for animals plus supporting and fundraising for animal Charities - GSD rescue U.K. We care about strays - Romania Redwings horse sanctuary Edinburgh cat and dog Home Plus more ...... I have a very high success rate providing clients are committed to training.
About the lesson
- All levels
- English
All languages in which the lesson is available :
English
On our first 1-2-1 lesson I assess how you and your dog are as handler & pet, identify issues and work weekly to make changes to your dog's behaviour. Each lesson is 1.5 hours, with hands-on support, corrections, and guiding you as the handler. You have daily training to do as part of my support, with emailed homework. I am always available to chat through any setbacks clients have encountered. I use kind motivational methods for training. With some dogs, especially rescued or timid dogs, I concentrate firstly on confidence building. I often bring one of my own Shepherds to the lesson, for dogs who are anxious, or do not know how to behave correctly. My older dogs are calm, relaxed and help other dogs unwind, and learn from my dog. It's amazing to watch!
Review
All of our reviews are collected by us and are 100% reliable. They correspond to real lessons experienced by the students of Heather.
Perfect! Heather has been training my 22-month old male German Shepherd, Vargo. She is passionate about GSDs in particular and is very knowledgeable and loves working with all dogs. Vargo is doing well and has been learning a lot from Heather who has a vast experience in training. She is very approachable and explains the training clearly and the outcome that she is looking for. I would recommend that anyone who is looking for training for their dog should get in touch with Heather. She has also given me tips on a variety of different foods to feed Vargo which I wouldn’t have tried otherwise.
Perfect! 2 sessions in and we are already noticing a huge change in Kira’s confidence. We can’t wait to see her grow more.
- Isla is a super owner and really wants the best for her little Romanian rescue girl .Heather's response :
We have started to work together and Isla is currently following homework from me .
I am confident she is doing her best with Kira .
Our next lesson is this week again

We’ve really benefited from our first two sessions with Heather. She’s passionate about helping us and our dog succeed, her direct approach and clear instructions help us get the most out of our time with her. We leave the lesson ready to put into practice what we’ve learnt
Heather is excellent at her job with so much knowledge and training to help each owner and their dog as a individual , very friendly and puts the needs of the dog first. Heather always keeps in with myself even after training that i took my rescue daisy to regularly and really helped daisy and myself. Would highly recommend heather to anyone.
We have recently started classes with heather, she has been very helpful , patient understanding and friendly and a great knowledge of training. Goes out of her way to make you feel welcome and always on hand with advice.
Heather is an extremely knowledgeable trainer and has a great knowledge of how to train dogs in a positive manner. She gave us and our pup Leo a great start to his training and takes great interest in his progress.
I have been attending in Heather's classes for a while. She is such a natural teacher, that she seamlessly is teaching not only your dog but the handler at the same time. In class I feel she has super human eye sight sometimes as she is watching the dogs behaviour and the handlers at the same time. The mood in classes is always upbeat and energetic. She always have different exercise for dogs and before starting she explains the exercise and theory behind. Respect is shown to all, she truly is setting people and dogs to succeed. I'd highly recommend working with Heather. Her passion and knowledge makes class engaging and enjoyable. 5 stars from me!
I have had a private lesson in my home and group lesson with Heather to help train some displeasing behaviours out of my puppy.
I am very pleased with the progress Bear has made and is making from attending the 1-2-1 lessons with Heather.
Heather is highly professional, and knowledgeable therefore I have and will continue to highly recommend her services to anyone and everyone with a dog/ puppy.Would highly recommend Heather as your dog trainer, I had really bad issues with both my GSDs and the training and advice i received was excellent, Heather knows so much about my breed of dogs and all breeds really it's incredible. An issues I have i can phone Heather at any time and she will either give me advice over the phone or arrange a one 2 one training session to resolve the issue. Excellent dog trainer and adviser.
I met Heather when I was looking to purchase a German Shepherd pup from our first meeting until I picked up my little man Heather was really passionate about her dogs and had a real amazing attitude to what she was doing and has kept in touch with me ever since asking about my dogs and also showing off her handsome family unfortunately because of the distance between us I was not able to make any of her classes but have had the chance to watch some online it has been a privilege fir myself meeting such an inspiring lady who is always happy to help I wish her all the best for the future
Can highly recommend Heather, her knowledge, patience and care for dogs is exceptional. She is a great trainer who has helped so many owners and dogs over the years.

Details
5 1-2-1 private lessons cost £250. Your dog's issues and requirements will be carefully assessed and work and training given, will come together to achieve the desired results. In some cases, you may require more lessons, but this is dependent on the work and training YOU put in at home, and the dog's issues to begin with. I will advise and assess mid programme.
