St. Pete Dog Works

Heather helped train our 6-month-old puppy and was absolutely fantastic. She has such a deep knowledge of dog behavior and really took the time to help us understand why our dog was acting a certain way and how we could address it with specific, effective training techniques. After every session, I walked away feeling more confident and informed, and she always gave us clear, actionable steps to work on each week. One of the biggest challenges we had was our puppy would bark at every single car that passed by — and thanks to Heather’s guidance, that behavior has completely stopped! Our dog now has such a solid foundation, and we owe so much of that to Heather. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a thoughtful, knowledgeable, and supportive trainer. We’re so glad we chose her!

Ava Elizabeth has blossomed with Debbie's training! Debbie has made our time together so much fun and always comes up with creative ways to work on our needs - from going to The Pier and even a dolphin boat... We are both more confident going out and about together - especially since she taught us "Emergency Recall"... Ava is more relaxed at home as well and we love the bonding that comes with practicing what Debbie has taught us... Thank you so much for training both of us! ❤️

I have a very headstrong Jack Russell named Sassy, and Debbie Welsh has been working with her for the past six months. I cannot speak highly enough of Debbie’s professionalism, expertise, and passion for dogs. Her extensive knowledge and exceptional training skills have had a remarkable impact on Sassy’s learning and behavior. Debbie has a unique ability to engage with Sassy, enabling her to respond and learn at an impressive pace. Sassy is always excited for her training sessions and eager to see Debbie. I highly recommend Debbie Welsh to anyone looking for an outstanding dog trainer.

Took my puppy to st Pete dog works star puppy class, we loved it! First time dog owner, both me and my puppy get nervous with him being so small! Thankfully it was a very controlled and safe environment, they limit the number of dogs per class to 4 and are very attentive of what’s happening. I was in class with Sydney as the trainer and she was a very calm and reassuring beacon amongst all the puppy chaos. I most likely will be signing up for more group classes or training in the future!
