From The Heart Training is a Michigan owned and operated small business, founded by Victoria Zahul, a lifelong dog lover and Michigan resident. At From The Heart Training, we feel dogs are one of the life’s greatest joys! Dogs are fun, goofy, loving, and most of all; dogs are members of the family. Our services provide a way for you to enhance the bond you have with your pup, while helping them learn to be better canine citizens. We don't focus on perfection. Here at From The Heart Training, we help set a solid foundation for you and your pup, which we believe will lead to a more well balanced dog, and a better relationship between you and them. We are excited to help you achieve your training goals!!

Victoria is a magician. Our 9-month-old Sheepadoodle did a 5 day training at Victoria's home while we were on vacation. We came home to a new dog. Murray was--and still is--an anxious dog. But Victoria showed us how to help him develop confidence. She sent us photos, videos and a report card each day Murray was with her and receiving them were a gift. It was so amazing to see him doing things with her--simple things like sitting quietly in a coffee shop and not freaking out by the noise at Lowe's--that we never thought he'd be able to do. He is easier to walk on a leash. We are now crating him during the night outside of our bedroom. I know it will take time to see more progress, but I feel like Victoria lay the groundwork for success. Worth every penny!

Our miniature goldendoodle spent 2 weeks with Victoria at her camp. Molly, our dog had a lot of fears along with craziness in the house and leash pulling along with running off. Victoria took time with her and helped Molly change her behavior in and out of the house. She truly worked miracles and has brought peace in the house and walking is pleasant now. We couldn’t take her anywhere before and now she goes with us almost everywhere. Victoria also shared nutrition information to help our pup live a long healthy life. I highly recommend her to all dog owners who are struggling.

My fiance and I have two very reactive/stubborn dogs. We found Victorias page on google and were immediately impressed with her training protocol. Our dogs have been training with her for about a two months and they’ve made tremendous improvement in such a short time. Victoria regularly contacts us for updates on how the dogs training is going at home. We have a long way to go with our pups but look forward to working with Victoria and Mel to get them on the right track. I’d suggest this service to anyone wanting legitimate dog training. Thank you for everything you and Mel do for us!

We Highly recommend Victoria and From the Heart dog training. Our 10 month old boxer was giving us trouble with crateing and pulling during walks, and in a few lessons he (we) were transformed. Victoria teaches pet and owner the importance of boundaries, how to provide leadership, and how critical consistency is. We're so glad to have found her!

Victoria's training and guidance has honestly changed our lives with our dog. Our dog’s anxiety & fear was getting the best of her, as it was for our family. Lucy is a soft coated wheaten terrier, which is also a very stubborn breed. Making it difficult to get her to listen to any commands. Walking her was another huge challenge, she just wanted to pull the entire time and didn’t care if she was choking herself.
Thanks to Victoria our dog has become one of the best listeners, isn’t crippled with anxiety and fear 24/7, and she is honestly such a great walking companion now! The best part is that is so obvious how much more relaxed and happier she is overall too! It has made life for her and our family so much more enjoyable. Victoria not only knows what she’s doing, but she’s extremely passionate about it, and it most definitely shows!
We are forever grateful for her expertise and support!
