Simply put, Holly is a remarkable dog whisperer. Our puppy Mosa attended a board and train program with her for basic obedience and impulse control issues, lasting over a month. Upon her return, Mosa was transformed. Though she remains a fun-loving goofball, she is now in a completely different mindset, always eager to listen and cooperate. The progress we have made with her at home is astounding, thanks to Holly's tutelage. We even had the chance to visit Mosa at one of Heel k9's locations, and it was a resounding success. The space was vast, yet carefully designed to separate dogs of varying sizes and temperaments. Without question, Holly and Heel K9 have our utmost confidence when it comes to training and caring for our beloved pet. Holly exudes both knowledge and compassion for animals, and throughout the process, she has been nothing short of kind and helpful, readily providing us with support. We will undoubtedly be returning to Holly for boarding in the future - she deserves all 10 stars!

Our family is incredibly grateful to Holly, who is a phenomenal dog trainer. Earlier this year, our 1-year-old was bitten by our stubborn dachshund as she crawled towards it, leaving us unsure whether we could keep our beloved pet. Despite it being an unusual time to take on new clients, Holly made an exception for us, and promptly took in our dog. When we were reunited with our furry friend, it was evident that Holly had worked wonders. Our dog was now much more composed and obedient, and Holly had even equipped us with the tools required to safely integrate our dog into our family environment. Holly's approach was personalized to our specific needs, proving that she is exceptionally attuned to both the dog's and the owner's needs. We wholeheartedly recommend Holly to anyone seeking professional animal training services!

Holly is an exceptional dog trainer who uses a gentle training approach filled with love. If you're seeking help with training your furry friend, look no further than Holly. She not only helps train your pooch but also teaches you how to maintain their progress. Holly's assistance makes dog ownership less stressful and lets you fully enjoy your time with your pup. My German shepherd was difficult to walk, but after working with Holly, he now walks amazingly. She provides guidance on proper equipment use and helps your dogs love her. I genuinely consider her my miracle worker. I can't recommend Holly enough for your fur babies' training needs. She worked with my male shepherd in May and will work with our female one in December, as well as any future dogs we may own.

Our dog, Wilbur, used to have a meltdown at the sight of anything from other dogs and cats to joggers and bicycles. It was a challenge for us to take him out without him barking and lunging until we moved away from whatever triggered him. We contemplated surrendering him but decided to seek help from Holly. Her team's dedication and professionalism literally saved Wilbur. After four weeks, Wilbur is a changed dog. We can now take him anywhere with confidence that he will stay calm. Besides providing us with regular progress updates, Holly arranged weekly meetings for us to observe and practice her training methods. We are grateful for her guidance and would highly recommend her services. Holly and her team are amazing!

Holly arrived at our residence and took the initiative to address every question that I had. It pleased me greatly to see that my pets took a liking to her as well. They found Holly to be effortless to be around and, therefore, at ease in her presence. Her demeanor was highly professional, and she even provided dog treats. Additionally, she provided us with valuable resources for us to utilize during our training process.
