DOG TRAINING IN NASHVILLE, TN

Leap, Dash, Win—Agility Training That Gets Results

  • DOES YOUR DOG IGNORE YOU NO MATTER HOW MANY TIMES YOU CALL?
  • FRUSTRATED WITH THE CONSTANT JUMPING, PULLING, AND NOT LISTENING?
  • READY FOR A DOG THAT ACTUALLY LISTENS TO YOU—EVERY SINGLE TIME?

Picture your dog coming the very first time you call—no more chasing, no more shouting.

Think about how good it will feel when guests arrive and your dog greets them politely instead of jumping all over them.

With our programs, you’ll enjoy a dog that listens, responds, and fits beautifully into your life.

Agility Training That Builds Skills and Connections

You want a trainer who not only teaches agility but also sets you and your dog up for long‑term success.
Imagine the transformation: dogs that once hesitated at obstacles now soar over jumps, weave confidently through poles, and tackle every challenge with excitement.

At Heather’s Dog School, we’ve seen countless families go from overwhelmed and unsure to proud, connected teams — ready to have fun or even compete.

No more wondering if you’re doing it right. We’ll guide you every step of the way.

  • Heather provides detailed instruction videos with plenty of opportunities to watch her train her dogs on the lesson you are on. I have even used some of the exercises to help fill in some gaps I had with my older dog, and it has carried over quite noticeably and quickly when we practice on agility equipment at home, at practice, or when trialing.

  • I started out with puppy training and am now doing agility with my 1 1/2 year old dog.,could not be happier with the results.Heather has been fantastic as an instructor and has helped any time I have asked. She has a nice indoor facility so weather is not an issue and can't wait to start on the outdoor course as soon as weather permits. Well worth every minuet I spend there

    Dave

  • I have enjoyed learning from Heather. Sometimes it is hard to see the little building blocks until they start to take shape but it was so worth the effort. I love going to class and so does Chico.

    Linda

  • She creates challenging agility sequences to help me work on my handling and has taught me several new handling techniques for my agility toolbox. She is very attentive and has helpful tips, as well as exercises to practice at home. Classes are always so much fun for both human and dog. She even helped my dog overcome her issues with the teeter totter!

MEET HEATHER

I’m a graduate of the Karen Pryor Academy for Animal Training and Behavior (2008) and have spent over 14 years helping families enjoy their dogs by teaching them how to truly listen. From solving everyday challenges like jumping, leash pulling, and recall, to running fun (and even competitive) agility classes, I love showing both dogs and their people how training can strengthen their bond.

I believe being a great trainer also means being a great teacher. Alongside my dog‑training education, I’m certified through the University at Buffalo’s Teacher Certification Program and have years of experience teaching all age groups. I’m a lifelong learner, always studying with top trainers to bring fresh techniques to my students. When I’m not teaching, you’ll find me adventuring with my husband and our four dogs—hiking, camping, canoeing, and competing in agility and sheep herding.

  3. We'll plan a time to talk so you can tell us even more, we can get to know you and give you details about our programs so you can choose the one you feel fits you best.

Imagine the joy of watching your dog succeed while feeling completely in sync as a team. That’s the kind of happiness and connection we see in our students every day, and it’s exactly what we want for you.
