My miniature schnauzer is 100% terrier, emphasis on the TERROR! From the Heart Dog Training has helped him so much, and I’m so happy I found them. As a psychology professor trained in behaviorism, I appreciate that they focus on helping dogs learn, not simply putting on a shock collar and forcing compliance. I’ll happily leave the animal behavior to these wonderful ladies!
I’m looking forward to trying more of their services.

Updating in August 2026 to again give Victoria and her team kudos - I brought Millie back three years after our initial training for a one week training camp refresh and have seen a considerable difference in her continued progression since returning home. The report cards were so valuable - I continue to learn as Millie does! Nothing but great things to say about From the Heart.

After adopting my first dog and realizing she was incredibly anxious and had been under socialized, I knew I needed help in training her - Victoria was an amazing trainer for Millie and a much needed coach for me to teach me tools and strategies to work through difficult moments and build our bond.
The 2 week bootcamp was perfect for Millie and the daily report cards were so helpful to lay the foundation and learnings I needed to continue her progress at home. It has been two weeks since she’s been back with me and I can’t believe this is my dog - we have done so much together already that I didn’t think would be possible, and she continues to improve and impress me in what she is capable of doing! I can’t recommend Victoria enough, and am so grateful to also have found a place I feel great about boarding her when I travel.

Victoria and her team are absolutely amazing at what they do.
Our dog Maya was struggling with anxiety and resource guarding.
After just 2 weeks, I genuinely feel like we have a brand new dog.
They sent us daily report cards with plenty of updates. They also took the time to teach us how to continue Mayas training.
I’d highly recommend!

“From the Heart” dog training is wonderful!! From the in hone sessions to the day care training sessions.
My dog was a little bit of a challenge/stubborn and Victoria and her staff worked it out with patience, firmness and love. He loves to go to training/ dog care .
I never worried about him at her business. I was sent videos, text messages and report cards, letting me know how he was doing. I can’t believe the change and improvement in my dog.
I would highly recommend “From the Heart”. And well worth the expense.

Victoria is fantastic! She took our two anxious rescue dogs with extreme prey drive and after two weeks with them, they were perfectly trained - not even reacting to a deer nearby. She understands the psychology of the dogs and works with them individually based on their temperament. I am thrilled with her results and highly recommend her to anyone looking for well-trained dogs.
