Our value

Our vision is to bring calm to the world of animals. When we create a relationship based on trust and mentoring, then we get a response of respect and love. Even in excitement, we can have peaceful interactions. 

Pictured here is Bruno, an adult Pit Bull from Fremont Humane Society. He was so dog reactive and aggressive that he spent a year at the shelter and no one could help his behaviors including other trainers, that is until Heather volunteered two days to work with him and by the end of the first day he was laying down on leash in the lobby of the shelter as other dogs laid next to him and walked by. 

By the second day Bruno went home with Heather where he lived out 9 amazing months living his best life until he had seizures and had to be medically put out of his misery.  

Our staff knows that it is about the quality of life, not the quantity that matters most!

We see animals as family and with individualism. The services we offer come with the intention of making the lives of our clients and their animals better. If you have ever felt un-supported with your animal we are here to offer that support whether you are a pet owner or a pet professional looking for continued education in animal behavior and handling! 

Pictured here is Zeus, a pure breed Cane Corso who was surrendered to Heather when he was 10 months old and had been through 5 homes in a week. By the time he came into Heathers life no one could touch him and Zeus had been so emotionally broken that he did not trust anyone! 

It took 3 days of offering food and water by hand before he chose to drink instead of trying to attack Heather. He has now lived as a personal dog of Heathers for the past 7 years and is now always loyally at her side. 

Animals deserve more patience and dedication than most people are willing to give. This energy is what makes our founder and our services special and why we work hard for every animal that comes into our lives! 

Our mission is to see well loved, happy and healthy animals living their best lives! 

Pictured above is Ivy Bug~ Ivy was adopted from Craig CO from a remote rescue by Heather when she was 21 years old. Ivy was half American Bulldog and half Dogo Argentina and lived to be 11 years old at 129 lbs. 

By the time Ivy was 1 year old she couldn't walk. Heather took her to the best Vet she could find and that vet was named Kevin McAbee at Alameda East. He was one if the best hip surgeons and as luck would have it, Kevin needed a large, young and sweet as pie dog to be the first dog in the US to have a titanium hip replacement. The cost was over $30,000 but with financial help from McAbee himself, a non profit organization called helping hands and care credit Heather was able to get the surgery for Ivy which lead to her living a long and healthy life. 

Our experiences allow us to do the best that we can for our animals and other pet professionals.
