12:10 Dog Training - Selma, TX
As a certified dog trainer in the heart of San Antonio, I am dedicated to transforming the lives of dogs and their owners through expert training and care solutions. Since 2009, my passion has been driven by my commitment to using positive reinforcement techniques. I proudly hold certifications from the Association of Professional Dog Trainers (APDT) and the Certification Council for Professional Dog Trainers (CCPDT), which reinforce my dedication to maintaining the highest standards in dog training. Whether you're preparing your furry friend for the Canine Good Citizen (CGC) certification, public access tests, or therapy dog certification, I'm here to provide the guidance and skills necessary for success.
I understand that a well-rounded dog is one that benefits from more than just training. My approach emphasizes the importance of socialization, exercise, and household manners to ensure your dog thrives in a nurturing environment. From preventing aggressive or skittish behavior through effective socializing to establishing house rules with housebreaking, I offer private, one-hour lessons at your preferred location—whether it be your home, a park, or even a store—all for an affordable rate of just $60. As a token of appreciation for their service, I also offer a 10% discount for Military, Fire, Police, EMTs, and Teachers.
Join me in giving your dog the best life possible by harnessing my expertise in dog obedience and therapy training. With competitive pricing in the San Antonio dog training market and a convenient 24-hour cancellation policy, I am ready to meet your training needs and help your dog become the well-mannered companion you envision. Ready to get started? Book me through Petworks today and let's embark on this transformative adventure together!

Pricing Packages
One-on-one lesson with your pooch. Custom to agreed upon lesson plan.
Board and Train packages are a full-time commitment to care, train, and love your dog. I only accept certain dogs into this because they do come home with me and my family. I WILL NOT accept aggressive issues with Board and Train dogs. Only basic home manners and behaviors. Try to see it as a Dog Training Boot Camp. No shock collars, prong collars, or any aggressive methods will be used for training. Only positive reinforcement. NO REFUNDS. I will update you every day and send pics and videos and at the end of the week/s, I will have a home visit where I will show you behaviors the dog has learned and I will equip you with everything you need to know to move forward with your pooch.
If you have any additional questions please feel free to message me or let me know your availability.
Want to Train with a friend? The price is the same for an hour but you can split it with up to 3 friends (4 total). So if you bring 3 friends each of you spends $15 for an hour instead of $60 if you are all by yourself.
The Group classes will be split into levels and we start at the level the dogs are at.
Over-the-phone advice and tips on training your dog. Or any situations you need to work on with your dog's behavior. This is great for people who are auditory learners and just need tips here and there.
Zoom, Facetime, or Skype calls and virtual training for those of you who can't travel or have other reasons to not meet in person.

Customer Reviews
Jessica is the absolute best. There is no one I trust more to take care of my puppy when I am out of town. I know that my puppy is safe and loved while I am away. Jessica has also helped me with training my puppy, which has been so helpful (we are first time puppy owners and we’d be so lost without her help). I am so thankful that I chose to use her services!

Recommended Certifications for Dog Trainers
When choosing a dog trainer, professional certifications are a strong indicator of expertise, experience, and commitment to ethical, science-based methods. Widely recognized credentials include the CPDT-KA or CPDT-KSA from the Certification Council for Professional Dog Trainers, which demonstrate mastery of modern training techniques, canine behavior, and learning theory. The KPA-CTP (Karen Pryor Academy Certified Training Partner) highlights trainers skilled in positive reinforcement and clicker training, while the IAABC Certified Dog Trainer credential, recognized internationally, signals advanced knowledge in behavior modification and problem-solving. Membership or certification through the Association of Professional Dog Trainers (APDT) further reflects ongoing education and adherence to ethical standards. Many trainers also pursue specialty certifications in areas such as aggression management, behavior modification, or puppy development to address specific challenges.
For pet parents, choosing a certified trainer like Jessica Heberling, ensures that your dog’s training is grounded in science, safety, and compassion. Asking about a trainer’s credentials is one of the best ways to make a confident, informed choice.
