Dan created dogHEART to
1. Be a professional resource for people to take off in the right direction with their new puppy or rescue dog.
2. Assist people who may be struggling with their "dream dog", and those who may think about giving up on this "dream" if they cannot get help.
3. Those who want to see the true potential that their dog may achieve through advanced skills in various sports competitions, scent work, or Service Dog Tasks.
Our passion is to take the guesswork out of raising a dog that listens and enjoys learning. We love teaching people how they can have a happy, responsive, trained dog, with each enhancing the other's quality of life. Please contact us through Petworks. Have an amazing day!
