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 was great. Competed her two week boot camp in July of 2023... My corgi terrier rescue had some pretty deep-rooted dog aggression issues specific to other animals. He came with notes on his file that I would be his fourth home. Despite the warnings, I wanted to help this poor pup out, and he was so great with people. Over the next two years, despite hundreds of dollars spent on trainers, books, and classes, the problems got worse. His unmanageable behaviors increased over time including growling at all animals, lunging at cars and bikes on walks and barking at everything. To add to this I, I was going to be moving into a condo in just two months. I found From The Heart Dog Training and it has changed our lives. He no longer barks or growls at animals and no longer lunges at bikes or cars. OMG! Now when we are out walking people will comment on how well behaved he his. This morning a man walking three dogs said to me, "He is a very good dog". Victoria is like magic. I am so grateful and I recommend anyone to contact Victoria if they are experiencing any type of issue with their dog with the highest regard.
Thank you, Victoria!

I sent Cairo to a 2 week boot camp. I love my boy but I did the worst thing you could do as a parent of a dog. He had no boundaries and free reign of the house. He also had major separation anxiety. Victoria undid 3 years of learned behavior in 10 days. He no longer pulls on our walks. He listens and is much more obedient and much calmer. He is a pure joy to be with and I love him even more. I can’t thank Victoria enough for the amazing transformation of my guy.

We rescued a boxer that was trained by Victoria. Benny is an absolute dream. I cannot say enough about what she does for dogs and their families. Highly recommend her. We traveled all the way from Grand Rapids just for her, and will again.

Victoria is wonderful. I sent Harry to her 2 week training camp and instead of a anxious dog afraid of new experiences, I received a much more confident and calmer one. Both the owner and dog are much happier and confident now! Thank you for everything. Your helpful tips will be put to good use.

I can't say enough about Victoria - I have had dogs my entire life and she is the first person to explain dog behavior (good and bad) in a way that made complete sense to me. She really understands how to transfer the training she provided to Gracie back to our family. We were a mess before she stepped in to rescue us. Victoria is kind, super smart, and will get the job done.
