Program details
Research shows that 77% of dog owners who sign up for a dog trainer, end up having to pay for another dog trainer within three months of their first training. This is because most trainers do not teach the owners how to truly communicate with their dogs. We will teach you how to fully communicate.

When we needed help with our big great dane puppy, we were told to check out Austin at Zero to Hero Dog Training. In about 2 and a half hours of personalized help, we identified the areas where we were in need of some immediate work, and the reasons obedience training does not solve behavioral issues alone. Austin quickly showed us how to combine obedience training with setting boundaries, and building a strong foundation of good behaviors. Simply put, within two weeks of applying the tips and tools we learned consistently, we saw amazing, tangible results. Austin took extra time to help, showed genuine care and interest in us and our dog, and was willing to work with us in ways that were perfect for what we needed. If you have a dog in need of some help - don't hesitate to check out Austin, and Zero to Hero Dog Training.
Archie and I thank Austin for educating us and guiding us through the training process. Archie listens and waits for commands words and instruction now. Can’t believe how much we learned and how far my pup has came, very appreciative of Austin’s patience and persistence. I would recommend Austin to anyone! Fully satisfied client.
We couldn’t have been more grateful for Austin and all his knowledge! Our rambunctious golden retriever did the boarding course, and truly thrived throughout his entire experience. He was so loved while he was away training, and came back a whole new pup. Austin included us throughout the entire process, and we were able to see all the growth and progress our dog was making. Highly recommend!!
