About Us
Meet Louise Hebert, President, Lead Trainer
I have been training dogs for over 25 years. Six years ago, I made the decision to train dogs on a full-time basis, and I never looked back. Working with dogs and their humans was the best decision I ever made! It brings me incredible joy to see the connection humans and dogs make as they train and learn together. I see how it deepens their bond and how beneficial it is for both humans and dogs. I am passionate about helping you develop a long-lasting, trusting relationship with your dog.
My primary focus is to set you and your dog up to succeed, using Science based, Positive Reinforcement training methods.I provide a variety of training options in your home, group settings and online.
My focus has been working with rescued dogs. However, more recently I am getting more and more requests to help people train their potential Service orTherapy Dogs.There is a tremendous need for this type of training and it is my great honor to help humans and their dogs in this very important work. Thank you for trusting me.
