Canine Conditioning & Development Academy
At Influential K9, we believe great dogs are built from the inside out.
We start with strong foundations , helping you understand how your dog thinks, learns, and communicates , so training actually makes sense to both of you. Through clear communication, structured routines, and science-backed methods, we create calm, confident dogs who feel secure, fulfilled, and connected to their people. Whether you’re working through basic manners or more complex challenges like reactivity, anxiety, or aggression, our goal is the same.
And you’re never doing it alone , our community is here to support you every step of the way. Your success is our mission.

I chose Influential K9 for their in-home Board & Train program and couldn’t be happier with the results. The regular updates, videos, and detailed daily progress reports truly set them apart — I’ve never had another facility communicate so well. It gave me total peace of mind while my dog was away.
Now that I’m enrolled in one of their group training classes, I’m continuing to be impressed. I’ve learned so much about canine behavior, body language, and pack dynamics. I can’t wait to keep learning and take more classes with Influential K9!

Heather is so wonderful to work with. She has watched our dogs and cats multiple times when we have been away. Each time we come home to happy and healthy pets and a clean home. She is extremely respectful, patient, reliable, and kind. She always makes sure our pets are well taken care of, including attending to their individual needs. I cannot recommend her enough!!

The difference in my dog after training sessions with Heather is incredible. She helped my dog build her self confidence and made the world not seem so scary. Heather also taught me how to be more confident in my dog and myself. I really think my dog benefitted from the training and I would highly recommend to anyone looking to start working with their dog!

My young dog Hank was having real issues with just basic training and especially recall. I set up appointments with Heather and she came and met Hank and I. She made a great plan for Both Hank and myself. She was great throughout all 10 sessions. At a great price, and the best part was that Heather came to my house which made things so much easier for me. Now Hank listens to all my commands, almost without any hesitation. I recommend Heather to anyone who is willing to really get to know thier dog and themselves.

Heather Feeney, who is the proprietor 0f Influential K-9s is a jewel. She stayed with our dog in our home for a week and was everything we hoped for! Before our trip we were really nervous about leaving our "baby" with a stranger, but a friend had said she was the best! She met with us and impresed us with her knowledge and her obvious connection with our dog and they startd to form a bond. Throughout our trip she sent lots of detailed updates, invluding photos and videos. When we got home the house was spotless, our bird feeders were full, the sheets had been laundered and changed. Most importantly, our pup was happy and healthy and clearly had a great week. We've already asked Heather to help us out again later this month.
