What our clients are saying...

Heather is an awesome trainer! She’s very transparent about the process and what the training entails. My dog, Pepper, used to be terribly reactive, but with Heather’s guidance and training, her reactivity has greatly improved. I can now walk my dog without being dragged down the street and we can pass others without a freak-out. I highly recommend Heather to everyone!

Heather is incredible. She has walked me through so many trials with my dog. I just couldn’t have done it without her.. She really cares and that’s hard to find. I am going to continue coming to her with all of my training issues. I wouldn’t go to anyone else, She always makes you feel like you’re the number one priority and that is very refreshing when you’re overwhelmed. Trust me, you will not regret it.

If anyone is struggling to get your fur baby to behave on public and at home, contact owner Heather Bennett, owner of Gnawty Dog Academy. She has helped shape my beautiful rambunctious American bully into a good boy. I can now walk my dog and not worry he'll jump on people and drag me around. She's patient and great to work with. Even after training, she keeps in contact and offers more information if needed.

Let's make it happen!

Your training sessions are meticulously planned by our Lead Trainer/Owner and are designed to maximize efficiency. Your time is valuable, so our goal is to prepare you best while taking up the least amount of your time possible. Get the training you need to live the lifestyle you want with your dog, not the training you don’t!

Your training will be conducted by our trainers through Tutoring (private lessons) that will last 60 minutes at weekly scheduled times or In-school Suspension (Board and Train) for 7, 14, or 21 days. All private training sessions will be comprised of both handouts and lectures.
