Certified Results. Limited-Time Rates.
Leash-pullers, counter-surfers, fear-biters — we've seen it all. Six certified trainers. Real transformations. Rates that make weekly sessions actually sustainable.
The calm voice that takes the leash from your shaking hand.
We started Heel because the internet gave dog owners an impossible choice: overpriced board-and-train facilities or contradictory YouTube rabbit holes. There is a better way — and six trainers who prove it every single day.
Science-Based Methods Only
Every protocol is rooted in applied behavior analysis. No shock collars, no intimidation — just clear communication your dog can actually understand.
Built for Real Life
Apartment stairwells, crowded sidewalks, the vet's waiting room — we train for the moments that actually matter, not just a quiet backyard.
Results in Weeks, Not Years
Most clients see measurable change in the first two sessions. We track progress with you so you always know exactly where your dog stands.

Reactive Dog Course with Marcus (6 weeks)
Discount applied automatically at checkout · 48-hour window
Marcus spent four years inside Chicago's busiest shelter watching dogs fail adoptions because nobody addressed the fear underneath the barking. He built his reactive-dog protocol from that experience — a 6-week course that works on the leash, at the door, and in the elevator. His clients describe the first session as "the moment I stopped being afraid of my own dog."
Brute snapped at our mail carrier twice. We were one incident away from surrendering him. After three sessions with Marcus, he sits at the door and waits. Three sessions. We cried in the parking lot.

Puppy Foundations with Rae (6 sessions)
Discount applied automatically at checkout · 48-hour window
Rae's waiting list has a reputation — and it's earned. She designed the Puppy Foundations program specifically for first-time owners drowning in conflicting advice. Six sessions, in your home and on your block, covering everything from bite inhibition to the first off-leash recall. She doesn't just train your puppy; she trains you to maintain the progress after she leaves.
I found Rae at 11pm after Biscotti destroyed my third pair of shoes and I had work at 7am. She answered my DM with a voice note. That's who she is. The actual training is just as personal.

Off-Leash Reliability with Devon (8 sessions)
Discount applied automatically at checkout · 48-hour window
Devon's clients come to him when the basics aren't enough. The dog sits at home. The dog ignores you at the park. His Off-Leash Reliability program closes that gap — eight sessions building proofed behavior under real distraction. Squirrels, cyclists, other dogs. By the end, your dog's recall is faster than your neighbor's dog on a leash.
Mango would bolt every time the leash came off. Devon had him doing a 40-yard recall past a group of off-leash dogs by session four. I still can't fully believe it's the same dog.

Fear & Anxiety Specialist · Veterinary Partner

Limited-Time Offer
$30 Off
Fear & Anxiety Protocol with Simone (6 sessions)
Discount applied automatically at checkout · 48-hour window
Simone works the cases other trainers refer out. The dog who can't be left alone for 20 minutes. The dog who shuts down at the vet. The apartment dog whose fear-barking is one noise complaint away from an eviction notice. Her protocol is slow, methodical, and backed by the same behavioral science used in veterinary psychiatry — because for these dogs, that's what it takes.
Our building manager gave us 30 days to fix the barking or leave. Simone was in our apartment within the week. We're still in our apartment. Noodle sleeps through the hallway noise now.
