Gnawty Dog Academy

I couldn't be more pleased with our experience. My puppy spent two weeks in board and train, and the transformation was remarkable. Heather’s extensive knowledge of dog behavior, combined with her loving and consistent approach, created an environment where my puppy thrived. Upon returning home, I noticed a dramatic improvement in his behavior - a testament to the quality of training he received. Her genuine care for the animals in her charge is evident, as my puppy formed a wonderful bond with her during his stay. I highly recommend her services to anyone seeking professional, effective dog training with a compassionate touch.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

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.

Amazing dog training experience! We recently had the pleasure of working with Heather Bennett and we could not ask for a more positive experience. We originally came to her for help with our almost 1 year old black lab, Sterling. He had little to no leash manners, lots of energy we did not know what to do with, and was not behaving in his crate. He was a BIG challenge!! After working with Heather, we can now walk our little guy fully off leash!! And he sleeps through the night in his crate! We feel like we have our freedom back! We have built a strong foundation of trust and we now have an understanding of what Sterling needs to expend his energy in a way that is satisfying to him. She taught us so many great techniques that we will continue to use for years to come. She is very attentive and communicates very effectively. She was available whenever we needed and was willing to work with our schedules. She also was willing to answer questions and help with issues that were outside of the scope of our original training plan! We really appreciate her time and this experience was life changing for us and Sterling!

Heather is absolutely wonderful. I took in a 3 year old dog, and later found out he was not only neglected and severely under socialized, but he was used as a guard dog. I was in way over my head, and didn't even know where to begin. She gave me direction, easy to understand instructions, and while she WILL hold you accountable she is empathetic and offers SO much encouragement. My confidence and my dogs confidence (in himself and in me) has SKYROCKETED. Just over a month ago, she was 30 or 40 feet away from us in her own yard and my dog wanted to eat her. Just today, people he'd never met before were feeding him treats and getting to pet him. His leash manners, his fearfulness and subsequent aggression have gotten so much better and with her guidance we continue to improve! She helped identify the things he was truly struggling with and tailored a plan just for him. It's been amazing working with her!!
