Heather Anne Kingsley
We are very happy with Dynamic Good Dog. We learned the tools needed to train our Siberian husky. We have a very well behaved dog that the entire family is able to command and direct. Our dog learned all the basics in our classes and the building blocks to get where we are today. Thank you Adrian! More...

What do you love most about your job?
I love the combination of problem-solving and relationship building. Helping owners understand their dog's behavior and then empowering them with the tools to build a stronger bond is incredibly rewarding. Seeing the transformation in both the dog and the owner is what makes my job so fulfilling.
What inspired you to start your own business?
My love for dogs, coupled with my training at Starmark and my military experience, ignited a passion within me to help dogs and their owners connect on a deeper level. Starting my own business was the natural next step, allowing me to combine my skills, knowledge, and desire to help others into a fulfilling career.
Why should our clients choose you?
Clients choose me because of my unique blend of expertise, personalized approach, and commitment to long-term success. As a certified trainer with specialized training from Starmark, I utilize humane and effective methods. I also prioritize building a strong relationship with each client, tailoring training plans to their specific needs and empowering them with the tools to maintain a happy and fulfilling relationship with their dog. Plus, I make training fun!
Can you provide your services online or remotely? If so, please add details.
Yes, I offer online consultations and coaching sessions. These are particularly helpful for initial assessments, discussing training strategies, and addressing general dog-related questions. While I find in-person training most effective for behavior modification, online support can be a valuable supplement.
