The journey to your best friend starts here.
ChattDog Trainer: R+ Dog & Puppy Training for Chattanooga, TN
Feel Like Your Dog Is Out Of Control? Don't Know How To Fix It?
You're not alone.
Do you dream of having a "go anywhere" dog? Camping. Hiking. Adventuring. Maybe you're just looking to chill on the couch or at the pub. You want your kids to have a canine confidant, someone who will be there for them when they feel no one else is.
Instead you have a furry four- legged "wild child". He won't listen, acts like a fool, can't chill out, can't be trusted.
You want a best friend. Someone who has your back and who knows that you have his. We want that to. So we'll help you & you dog get it by working with your specific needs, in your own home, with pain free methods. We'll coach you on how to connect with your dog in a way that brings lasting change.
Adventures are calling. Joy awaits.
Puppy Training
Puppies can be so cute! But the peeing, biting, & whining can get on your last nerve! We'll help you and your pup figure it all out so you can both rest easy.
Dog Training
You were so excited to get a dog but now you feel like you're in over your head. Why doesn't he listen?! We can help you and you dog get on the same happy page.
Trail Adventures
Do you have a pup that is just “go, go, go”? Could they use a little extra exercise and enrichment to help them settle down at the end of the day? We can help!
Training Philosophy
Dogs do what works for them, so let's show them how to get the good stuff by rewarding the behaviours we want! The science shows that using positive reinforcement (R+) training methods helps dogs learn in a way that is most effective and long lasting. It's also a lot of fun for both you and your dog!
As a Pat Miller Certified Trainer (PMCT), I'll never use pain or fear- no shock, choke or other adversive methods- while working with you or your dog. I'm passionate about creating a safe place for you both to learn. And in that safe place you can delight in watching your dog transform from "stubborn" to happily attentive!
I'll help you and your dog understand each other better so that you can have a life time of learning and loving together. I'm dedicated to providing each dog with the individualised training they need to succeed and look forward to helping everyone reach their full potential.

Joyful Pet Parents Say...
“Finding Heidi and working with her has been an absolute joy. She has not only helped my dog to learn appropriate behavior but has taught me how to work with him and given me the tools to improve our bond tenfold.“
Nadia N.
“Heidi was a godsend for us! ….We initially thought that Maynard was a hopeless and challenging case but it has been a complete turn around, now we feel like we don’t even have the same dog!”
Jennifer O.
“Ocoee loves his trainer Heidi! She is very smart and fun, (and) makes every training session positive for him. I am a Deaf woman…and I really appreciate that she knows American Sign Language and can utilise her signing skills with us!”
