What Reviews Say
99 reviews analyzedHEAT is highly praised for its effective 'balanced' training techniques and its ability to handle high-energy or reactive dogs, with many owners reporting immediate results in leash walking. However, the facility's reputation is significantly polarized by a tragic incident involving the death of a puppy during an off-site training session. While long-term clients remain fiercely loyal, new and prospective clients express serious concerns regarding safety protocols and the initial lack of transparency following the tragedy.

Worth noting
Death of a puppy during a training session
“I was informed this week by a third party that a puppy had died due to the negligence of a trainer at HEAT... putting a gentle leader on a 13 week old short-snouted puppy and ignoring it’s signs of distress.”
Lack of transparency regarding a fatal incident
“HEAT did not inform any clients of what had happened. The owner has since come forward... only seemingly after the information went viral on Facebook.”
Safety and Negligence(5 mentions)
“they recently killed a dog during a training session and have acknowledged their unsafe practices.”
Training Methods(2 mentions)
“methods are based on balanced training and 'dog whisperer/Cesar Millan' type of dog handling.”
