Positive motivation equals thriving dogs who are happy, healthy, & well-mannered living the BEST life Gone are the days of training focused on dominance. St.

Our Philosophy

As the role of the dog has evolved from that of a working species, to one of a beloved family member, we must too think about the evolution of dog training. These ideas are outdated and there’s growing scientific data supporting the use of science-based learning principles resulting in much more effective and humane ways to train dogs. Pete Dog Works stands for positive based trai

ning with evidence based outcomes. For dogs who thrive and are happy and healthy. Our core model focuses on:
• positive motivation to encourage behaviors (positive is not permissive)
• training protocols based on science-based learning theory
• replacing undesirable behaviors with more appropriate responses
• management for success; eliminate practice of unwanted behaviors
• a fair leadership strategy
• clear communication system
• a wholistic approach where nutrition, exercise, and enrichment compliment training
• having fun and building a relationship

To train a dog you need motivation, otherwise change in behavior won't happen. Motivation comes in many forms, some trainers use rewards to encourage a dog to continue doing a certain behavior and others use fear, intimidation, and pain - we NEVER use pain, force, or fear to train any dog we work with. We believe in using positive motivation to get desired behaviors, setting the dog up for success, and focus on relationship building. Training Team

Heather Morris comes to St. Petersburg from Washington, DC with 15 years experience working professionally in the pet industry. In 2010, she created Spot On Training, LLC which evolved into one of the most well-respected, successful dog training companies in the Washington, DC metro area. Spot On Training was consistently recognized as the ‘BEST’ in the Washingtonian Magazine and The Washington City Paper by its loyal client base. This one-woman operation quickly grew into a small team of trainers teaching group classes, speciality workshops, and puppy play in its own studio located in one of the fastest growing and most dog-friendly neighborhoods of DC. Additionally, Spot On Training provided private training and behavior consultations in DC, Virginia, and Maryland. Spot On Training established many relationships with other pet businesses in the area and was sold in 2016 to one of its competitors who still successfully operates and maintains its positive reputation today. Prior to the creation of Spot On Training, Heather was fortunate enough to combine her passion for food (a graduate of The Culinary Institute of America) as well as her love of dogs to create a unique business selling organic dog treats to local boutiques in the area. It wasn’t long before her love of active, healthy dogs and her devotion to being the “best” in her field opened up a new career pathway. This pathway led to a dog training position, a general manager position, and eventually a training director offer. Heather is a member of:
• Certified Professional Dog Trainer- Knowledge Assessed (CPDT-KA)
• Professional Member of the Association of Pet Dog Trainers (APDT)
• Dalmatian Club of America
• Dog Training Club of St. Petersburg

The Certification Council for Professional Dog Trainers is the first national certification for dog trainers. Heather carries a strong sense of pride in this accomplishment and nationally recognized certification and honor. Like all honors, certification in professional dog training carries responsibilities like continuing education, maintaining a code of ethics, and upholding the highest standard of training. Heather lives in Old Southeast with her husband, 2 children, and her dog, Kismet. She currently trains and competes in conformation, rally, and dock diving.

I’m so incredibly thankful to have these two amazing ladies as part of my dog training team! While we come from different backgrounds with unique experiences and credentials, our shared passion for helping dogs and their owners thrive has been the foundation of our success. Together, we've helped so many pups live their best, happiest, and healthiest lives.

We celebrated another year of success over small plates at Wild Child, reflecting on how far we've come and the lives we've touched. I have so much gratitude for these talented, dedicated women and the incredible work we do together. Here’s to many more years of growth, learning, and wagging tails!

Cheers to the team and happy training in 2025! 🐾✨

We’re so excited to announce our NEW OFF-LEASH PUPPY KINDERGARTEN CLASS STARTING MONDAY, JANUARY 27 at 5:30pm! 🎉

Yes, you read that right—this 5-week class is entirely off-leash! (With the exception of leash training, of course.) Get ready for a fun and engaging experience with your puppy, where you’ll have a blast and leave with a tired, happy pup! 🐾💤
In this class, puppies of all sizes and play styles will come together to help each puppy build confidence and social skills while interacting with both large and small breeds. We’ll focus on positive socialization and create an environment where your puppy will thrive!

Puppies will also learn how to interact with unfamiliar people—and children (if in attendance)—while practicing bite inhibition during playtime with their peers.

The class includes short, frequent training sessions that focus on basic manners, sprinkled between playtime. This helps you, as an owner, develop the essential skills to calm, control, and get your puppy’s attention, even when they’re excited and distracted.

Each training session ends with a "play break" as a reward, reinforcing good behavior and making playtime a positive part of the learning process. It’s the perfect balance of training and fun—playtime becomes a reward, not a distraction!

Classes taught by certified professional trainers in a safe environment cleaned with veterinary grade disinfectant and proof of vaccination required.

The holiday season is a time of joy, celebration, and family gatherings, but it can also pose several risks for your puppy if you're not careful. With the hustle and bustle of decorations, guests, and seasonal foods, it’s important to take proactive steps to keep your furry friend safe and happy. Here are some essential tips to ensure your puppy stays safe during the holidays.

1. Keep Toxic Foods Out of Reach. Many holiday foods, while delicious for us, can be toxic to dogs. Chocolates, raisins, grapes, onions, garlic, alcohol, and certain nuts like macadamias are all harmful to dogs. Be especially mindful during gatherings when food is being passed around, as your puppy may try to sneak a taste. Avoid leaving food unattended on counters or tables, and if your dog is particularly food-driven, consider using baby gates or crates to keep them out of the kitchen or dining area.

2. Secure Decorations. Holiday decorations, while festive, can be hazardous to curious puppies. Tinsel, ribbons, and ornaments can be tempting chew toys but can cause choking or internal blockages if ingested. Glass ornaments or breakable decorations present an additional hazard if they are knocked over and shattered. Choose puppy-safe decorations and avoid placing them where your dog can easily reach them. Additionally, be mindful of string lights and electrical cords—puppies are notorious for chewing on cords, which could lead to electric shocks or burns.

3. Watch Out for Small Objects. Many holiday items, such as small ornaments, buttons, and gift-wrapping materials, can present choking hazards. Wrapping paper, bows, and tape are all enticing to puppies who love to tear things apart. Keep these items out of your dog’s reach, especially when unwrapping gifts. Store your wrapping supplies in sealed containers, and always supervise your puppy during gift opening to ensure they don’t ingest anything harmful.

4. Avoid Stressful Situations. For puppies, the holiday season can be overwhelming with the influx of guests, loud noises, and changes in routine. Stress can cause behavioral issues and even lead to accidents. To minimize anxiety, provide a quiet, safe space for your puppy to retreat to when things get too chaotic (yet another reason to crate train). Familiar objects, such as their bed or favorite toys, can help them feel more secure. Stick to their usual feeding and exercise routine as much as possible to provide stability amidst the changes.

5. Be Mindful of Guests and Visitors. With the influx of visitors, your puppy may feel excited or anxious around strangers. Ensure your dog is properly introduced to guests in a calm and controlled manner. If you’re hosting a party, consider using a crate or a separate room for your puppy to avoid overstimulation. Be especially careful if your guests are bringing in potentially harmful items like bags of food, alcohol, or medications that could tempt your curious puppy.

6. Keep the Fireplace and Candles Away. The cozy ambiance of a fire or candles can be inviting, but they pose a significant risk to your puppy’s safety. Ensure that any open flames are out of your puppy’s reach and avoid leaving candles unattended. Consider using flameless candles if you want to achieve a similar effect without the risk of burns or fires.

7. Be Cautious with Holiday Plants. Several popular holiday plants are toxic to dogs, including poinsettias, mistletoe, holly, and lilies. If you plan to decorate with these plants, place them in areas that your puppy cannot access. If your dog is a frequent chewer, consider using artificial plants or non-toxic alternatives to reduce the risk.

8. Don’t Forget Regular Exercise. With all the holiday excitement, it can be easy to let your puppy’s regular exercise routine slide. However, maintaining regular walks and playtime is important to help them burn off energy and stay calm amidst the festivities. Adequate physical activity also prevents behavioral issues, such as excessive barking or chewing, that may arise from pent-up energy.

The holiday season should be a time of joy for both you and your puppy, but ensuring their safety requires vigilance and preparation. By following these tips—securing hazardous items, monitoring stress levels, and maintaining a safe environment—you can help your puppy enjoy the season with the same enthusiasm and happiness as you do. With a little extra care and attention, you and your furry friend can have a joyful, safe holiday season together.

Evidence shows that puppy classes are very beneficial and can prevent behavior problems down the road.

Research suggests that enrolling puppies in classes by age of 6 months can reduce behavior problems such as aggression by socializing them with unfamiliar people and dogs while learning basic obedience cues and life skills.

Come join is for our last puppy class of the year!

Class starts on Thursday, 11/7 at 6pm and runs for 6 weeks (skipping Thanksgiving week)

Location: 3001 Central Ave (Grand Central District) St. Petersburg

This semi-private class is taught by a certified trainer and is limited to 4 puppies to maximize experience.

Register online: https://www.stpetedogworks.com/puppy-classes

Enrolling a puppy in a puppy class before the age of 6 months reduces the likelihood of adult behavior problems such as aggression and destructive behavior.

Today’s weather was absolutely ideal for training walks! We had the pleasure of working with Bowden and Skye.

Bowden & Skye are adolescent, littermates who are now living together because Bowden’s house is uninhabitable due to Helene. Add to this, a very busy, active family with two young boys whose parents are also entrepreneurs.

Did you know that adolescent dogs need consistency, structure, and continued exposure more than ever? They can be especially sensitive to environmental change and need a patient leader to help guide them to make better choices.

During these guys’ training walks, we focus on teaching more polite greetings at the door, walking nicely on a leash, and how to better cope with all the new sights and sounds in a hurricane ravaged neighborhood that’s active with demolition & construction efforts.

We’re so happy to help this family with limited bandwidth at the time, navigate this rather stressful time in their lives.

Mission accomplished TODAY 🙌🏼 🐾 🐕‍🦺

🎉🐾 Roxy's Training Journey Update! 🐾🎉 Roxy just wrapped up some foundational training with us, and she’s ready to take on the world! 🌎✨ She aced both our 6-session one-on-one puppy program and our training walks program—which helped her amazing paw-rents learn the ropes of living with a puppy (without pulling their hair out 😅) while we coached Roxy on all the essentials. The result? Roxy learned faster, her parents were less frustrated, and everybody’s happy! 🙌 Now we’re diving into the FUN stuff! 🎉 Next up: paddleboarding with mom 🏄‍♀️ and enjoying those dreamy low-tide days of play 🐶🌊. But... I’ve got a little secret. 🤫 While Roxy’s having the time of her life, I’m quietly working on making her newly learned tricks reliable in the real world—distractions and all.

Tidbit Tuesday: Disengage: Foundations Teaching your dog to disengage from whatever stimuli they are looking at in the environment, and then making the choice to look at you without a prompt, is one of the most important behaviors to teach your dog. Not only is it a basic engagement skill that makes your walks together much more enjoyable, it is also extremely useful for fearful or reactive dogs. By first teaching this behavior just hanging out and being still, it is also a great way to help them learn to just be calm. Being outdoors shouldn’t always mean constant motion and activity. They can also learn to just BE in any environment, like on a picnic, or taking them to a concert, or hanging out while you read while getting some fresh air. So spend a few minutes each day just BEING with your pup as you work on teaching them that paying attention to you has great payouts. Need help getting your dog to notice you, be able to relax when out and about in the world, or care you're on the other end of the leash? We CAN help! Email us today to see what options might work the best - [email protected]

Happy Friday! Today I’ve decided to share a very personal video and here’s the reason why: Yes, "The Cobblers Children Have No Shoes.” I’ve been so busy managing the kids schedules, maintaining a household, trying to be the best mom and wife I can be, improving self-care, and trying to grow a successful business that there simply hasn’t been any available time left to devote to my own dogs. Because of that, I started noticing a decline in behavior. Structure has been lax at best, daily exercise & enrichment needs aren’t being met, and social exposure have been non-existent. Arley was becoming a pain in the ARSE! Incessantly whining, increased alert barking, harassing the cat, and developing mild reactive behaviors. HIs overall manners and life skills were decreasing. So I decided it was time to follow my own advice. The advice I give to clients all day long. My friend and fellow trainer, Debbie offered to take Arley a few days a week to do various things with him. I set my pride aside and gladly welcomed the offer. My parting words were “I hope he doesn’t embarrass you.” She sent me this video, because she knew I needed to see it to believe it. Let’s just say we were both pleasantly surprised at how well he did. Here’s some key take aways: 1. THIS IS SOCIALIZATION! This particular nuisance of socializing your dog is often over looked - but dogs must learn how to watch the world go on around them and be okay with it. You will often see words like NEUTRALITY or EXPOSURE and this should absolutely be a part of your socialization plan. Arley does not interact with any other dog at anytime. The goal is for him to simply watch and listen to the other dogs while remaining calm. 2. Arley did as well as he did because of Debbie. She has good handling skills and most importantly SHE SET HIM UP FOR SUCCESS. She did this by: • First making sure he had some physical exercise before taking him into this environment. •

Yesterday’s afternoon kabooms were INSANE! ⛈ ⛈ ⛈ Where I enjoy watching a crazy thunderstorm roll through, it can be very unsettling for our dogs. 🐶 🐶 🐶 One of the most important things you can do is provide a safe place for your dog to go to until the storm passes. This may be a a covered crate, a bedroom closet, under a bed, or in a room with curtains drawn. It may also help to play some relaxing music to help reduce the sound of the rumbling thunder. Providing a long lasting chew may also distract and provide an outlet for chewing and licking for self-soothing. Yesterday, the spots decided my lap was their safe place. ✔️✔️✔️ Where’s your dog’s safe place?
