Be Heeled Dog Training

Be Heeled Dog Training Located in Simpsonville, SC, Be Heeled Dog Training specializes in dog training for the entire family! Let Be Heeled Dog Training show you how!

Our passion centers around creating a healthy and balanced mindset in the dog, and strong and healthy relationships between dogs and their owners! There are so many dogs and families out there who are struggling…struggling with manners, energy, emotions, boundaries, decision-making. There are people confronting challenges with their dogs which range from mildly annoying to facing the possibility o

f rehoming or surrendering their dog. Be Heeled Dog Training knows that so many of these challenges can be overcome with the proper training, which is often far more obtainable than most may realize. We wish to reach as many dogs and families as possible to offer solutions to these various challenges, free of judgment or criticism. Your dog will learn to look to you for guidance, and exist in a calm and relaxed state of mind. We focus on “time and place,” teaching dogs that there are appropriate times to work, play, and relax. This is accomplished through teaching the dog to understand “yes” and “no”--what is allowed and what is not acceptable. Through implementing small changes and incorporating training into your daily life, you will see dramatic changes in your canine partner, and in turn, within yourself and your family. We are located in upstate South Carolina, convenient to Greenville and Spartanburg. Also within 2-3 hours of Atlanta, Asheville, and Knoxville.

COOPER 🐾 is a recent Grad 🎓

Coop is surfer boy vibes, go with the flow, no cares in the world type of personality most of the time. Which is GREAT in a lot of instances but also challenging when he didn’t care what his humans had to say or when he was feeling a little on the wild side 🤪

Cooper came in with little respect for anything other than himself - not in a malicious or intentional way - he just did whatever Cooper wanted when he wanted it! We taught him healthy boundaries, skills for his daily life, and gave him a new structure that will allow him to live more cohesively with his family ❤️ a true relationship with your dog comes from leading them into a peaceful life with you, not just leaving them to figure it out on their own!

Life with your dog opens up when everyone’s expectations are aligned ✨

Cooper has the best fam to take his training home & to the next level !!

ADA 🌸 is an 11-month old Bernese Mountain Dog! She’s here to get on the same page as brother Johnny who did private sessions with a HEAVY emphasis on politeness with her physicality. She’s a jumper, threshold bulldozer, crate Houdini when the door opens, and overall can be pushy for affection! Along with that we are focusing on a recall with better follow through & other well-rounded skills that will help set her up for success👌🏼 Ada’s been living life soooo fast-paced so we are helping her put on the brakes!!

FLYNN 🍳 (iykyk) is a 2-year old Standard Poodle who on his own, is mild-mannered and calm, but add in a variable he’s unsure of and he can quickly go on guard, check out, and be a bit unpredictable. His biggest struggles are the encounters and interactions with other dogs that have led to reactive walks and explosive moments with friends & family dogs. He’s here to have that burden of having to figure it out solo taken off his shoulders - we’ll give him skills he can work with, step in big time as his advocate, and be in his driver’s seat so he can learn to live in neutral 🚙🫶

Ada will be here for just one short week 🥹 but we’ll have Flynn around for the next THREE!!

INSPIRATION for my WFH dudes & girlies!!

While every dog’s needs are going to be different, balancing between meeting their physical exercise needs & mental downtime will be important for each & every one. It shouldn’t feel like a race to get your dog’s energy out for the day so that you can relax and focus on something else that’s equally, if not more important. They need just as much practice exercising their calm muscle as they do their material ones. And you deserve to put your needs first - which does NOT mean you won’t ALSO meet theirs !!

This specific schedule won’t work for everyone, and it won’t work everyday. Thinking of yours & your dog’s routine in rhythms of work & rest will help when the days call for schedule changes! Maybe you go out for dinner one evening, crating your dog when you leave, so you make sure you engage with your dog a little extra right when the work day ends! Maybe you slept in so you save your dog’s long walk for lunch time so you can still get your workout in. Maybe the weather completely messes up your good intentions and you & your dog have a much slower day than anticipated, it’s okay. Your dog being able to be okay on days when they DONT get as much physical exercise is a needed reality. Creating an overall balance helps everyone adapt well on the days that life looks a little different ❤️

Training is a GREAT place to start setting you & your dog up for success, and giving you a skill set that helps you implement a routine that keeps your healthy & flexible ✨

LAMBEAU

This handsome guy is a 9-month old Golden Retriever who has been finding it hard to sit still, and likes to be allllll up in your space 🤪 His owners main goals are to teach him spatial awareness / personal space manners (aka no jumping on people or being literally glued to their body), better listening skills (because he’s also been rubbing off on sister at home 😅), waiting at doors (he was QUITE the door rusher), and overall more calm & polite behavior around the home ❤️

We’ve been doing a lot of slowing down type of work these first few days - taking a breather at doorways, learning to settle in one spot, and mentally bringing things into focus so there aren’t 1000 things running through his head at one time! We’re also paying attention to developing a healthy dose of independence in him so he doesn’t feel the need to crawl inside your skin to feel like he can do it 🤗

Life with Lambeau is about to get a whole lot more fun back at home!!!

GEORGE & BEAR

George is a 5-month old Yellow Lab 🐾 While he has SO much going for him, he can be as sassy & dramatic as they come, so we are happy to be starting early with establishing a dependable way to communicate with him & hold him to higher standards than the throwing of tantrums when he’s slightly inconvenienced 🤓 there’s a better way for him to approach life that includes more stability & higher confidence in himself that he can do hard things! We also get to be the steady leader he needs when we have the best-fit methods & tools 👏 he’s finishing up his Basic Day Train this week with an Owner Session to follow! He’s well on his way to being an amazing sidekick!!

Bear is a 2-year old Chesapeake Bay Retriever 🐶 while our guy doesn’t have anything crazy going on, on the outside, there’s a lot going on in that head of his! The minor behavioral issues that have been seen are most likely stemming from this overactive, anxious-leaning mental state that has Bear wanting to (& feeling a “need” to) always know what’s going on around him, making it hard to fully settle! Right now we’re working on weaning him off that addiction, taking a load off his brain, and teaching skills that will support allowing Bear to truly relax 🫶 Bear will be with us for 2 weeks!

We love the boisssss 💙

change is the goal ✨

we all start this journey because we recognize the need for something to give, to shift, to CHANGE between us & our dog. or maybe we know where things could lead if we aren’t doing the proactive work. either way, when it’s a two-sided relationship, it requires two-sided work + effort + change! it’s not just a dog problem that needs fixing. it’s an unlearning & learning process at both ends ☯️

after a training program, you too have to make changes if you want to continue seeing newfound behavior & skills in your dog! it should be no surprise that your dog trainer (hi it’s me 👋) sees a difference in how your dog behaves, thinks, feels, & approaches life. it also shouldn’t be a surprise that you have to do what your dog trainer does, in order to experience what they experienced!

you’re seeing change, you’re creating change, and you’re also going to feel change. those emotions can sometimes be tricky, fleeting things. for your dog’s best interest, a lot of the time you have to put them aside so that we aren’t just doing what FEELS good, but what IS good for our dog’s long-term betterment. and in return you get to feel the good things with your dog too! empowerment & confidence as your dog’s leader, alongside more peace & enjoyment as you go about your lives together 😌

we can’t expect things to change, unless things change 💕

Thank you!!!! ❤️

🦊ZORRO🦊

Zorro is a 5-month old Goldendoodle who’s been working with us since he got home at just 8-weeks old! We immediately hopped on getting Zorro comfy in a crate, potty-trained, and other puppy basics! A lot of that looked like healthy management practices & creating rhythms that made life with a puppy less of a free-for-all and more of a productive foundational season for the rest of his life to come!

Now he’s here for his Board & Train to enhance all of that initial work, fine-tune & advance skillsets, and focus in on a neutral mindset about the world around him! His biggest struggle coming in was still the over-the-top eagerness & excitement to be involved with everything and everyone! Those unhealthy excitement levels have led to jumping, hu***ng, excited-peeing 🫣 we need to help this guy take it down a notch and we’ll do that through a lot of practice with just BEING 😌

I love seeing them grow up 🥹🧡

OAKLEY aka lil Oaks as I’ve been calling her 🥹

Oakley (a mini Goldendoodle) & her owners are joining us from Alabama! After finding us on Facebook they knew we’d be the right fit for their shy but curious girl!

At 4-months old, she hasn’t been quite sure that the big life around her is safe & secure and that was manifesting as growling & barking & being extremely standoffish when concerned! Oakley’s owners want her to have the skill set, confidence, and leadership she needs to be the best version of herself as they take a big move overseas!!

We’re so happy to have Oakley and so ecstatic she has people in her corner that are willing to go the extra mile for her - literally!!

Seeing her come out of her shell & start thriving in this world is the most rewarding thing 🫶

🧡 GINGER 🧡

Official place on the feed ☺️

Ginger is a 7-month old Mini Goldendoodle! She is as sweet & as smart as can be but struggles with being overly-excited about guests and seeing other people in general (especially on walks where she gets the hops about it all)! This has especially made taking her anywhere a challenge in the way of getting her to settle & remain calm 🫣

Her biggest hurdle we're working to overcome is being relaxed & content in her crate when her people need to leave the house! While we aren't at full-blown separation anxiety, the feelings she's having about it most definitely could make their way to that point. Those feelings would be there with or without the crate, and the crate is a tool we get to use to help create a successful and SAFE structure for rewiring her mind & body when it comes to being left alone. We're building that confidence in her so we don't let her stay in that unhealthy space 🫶

Otherwise this girl is so much fun and will make the best companion back at home with the ✨balance✨ of life we're giving her!

Miss Maggie 💟

Maggie is a 5-month old GSD-mix and newest housemate to one of our previous Day Trainees! Maggie's owners have gotten her off to a good start at home, and she's been learning from her brother, but she still has a lot to learn 🙌🏼

Her crate behavior has been mostly okay, her potty habits have been mostly okay, her obedience beginnings have been mostly okay, her interactions with people & other dogs have been mostly okay... but that just means we have room for them to be GREAT! Maggie also has an overly-cautious side that we'll be making sure to build confidence for so that the cautious mentality doesn't turn into reactivity, fear, or anxiety about life!

This girl has all the potential in the 🌎

Greta girllllll 🫶

A little late with the official introduction, but she deserves one nonetheless! Greta is a six month old English Cream Golden Retriever & certified wild child! Greta's life with humans has been ill-mannered so far, with extreme pulling on leash, swiping food, puppy teeth attacks, jumping, barking for attention, & more! Despite none of it coming from a malicious place, it's still not an appropriate or peaceful way to do life alongside us!

We'll be working to create an awareness & relevancy of the humans around her, going off of our cues & leadership, because we know what's best for her and us! Following the rules & boundaries we implement will only enhance the life she's able to live with her family because peace of mind, trust, and actually enjoying each other is they key to MORE freedom at the end of the day. And that's priceless!!!

Greta is on her way to truly being GOLDEN ✨

TUCKER 🐶

Is an 8ish year old Hound Mix and housemate to Squeak! They come from the same rescue and have both come a long way and now found themselves in the best of families!

Tucker can be a bit pushy at home with boundaries and gets riled up easily, which escalates things for both dogs. Right now there's a frustrating level of constant reinforcement of the house rules for him. While that consistency is GREAT, we need a way to hold Tucker to a higher level of accountability for the things he knows aren't allowed! Conditioning him to the e-collar over his Day Train this week will give us the leverage we need with this guy for more reliable follow-through 🤌🏼 it will also get Squeak & Tucker on the same page which will let things at home go so much smoother when both dogs are 100% clear on what's expected!

Tucker & Squeak have a human baby sister joining them SOON!!!! It's imperative we have these boys ready to peacefully & safely coexist with the new addition, while still living a full life!!

Silly CHARLOTTE 😋

Physically wants to be a chill girly, mentally struggling to get there lol

Charlotte is a mix of mild nerves, anxiety, & excitement that leads her into being a bit frantic & scatter-brained sometimes!! She's actually pretty quick to settle, but just as quick to pop right back up and have to go through the process OF settling all over again. Her 🧠 isn't quite letting her fully relax at the moment, especially if there's any kind of anything going on around her - she's gotta know (FOMO)!!

At home she's dealing with over-excitement with guests or when her owner's coming home from work (all the jumps!) and their walks haven't been the easy strolls they're looking forward to! Charlotte's owner wants to see a boost of confidence in her overall life & a calmer state of mind with how she approaches the world around her 🫶 we got you girl!

Charlotte is our Giveaway Winner from Christmas!!!! 🥹

Two Grads in one weekend?! I can't dream of anything better (okay maybe THREE Grads 😘)!!!

Puppy Program Grad Zorro started out his in-home private sessions at just 9 weeks old! In just a week of being home his owners were already struggling with crate training & destructive behavior. Within a week of our first session, after implementing the work, Zorro was sleeping through the night & calm when his owners were away at work 🙌🏼 Zorro has also been working on overall manners & learning how to make good decisions in the house, getting conditioned to stroller walks around the block allowing for healthy socialization, and shaping more formal obedience that can be refined in the future. We also spent a lot of time just talking about how to best set Zorro up for adulthood 🫶 I love this family and how welcoming they were of me and the advice I had to share! They've done a great job giving Zorro his best start to life!

Basic Day Train Grad Squeak was a joy to have for "school" last week! While he can be misunderstood, he's a GOOD KID who just needs more guidance in order to be his best self! Squeak now has a better blueprint and game plan to life with his humans (& others), that will allow him to thrive moving forward, with MORE freedom in the long run because of the boundaries & skills we can now hold him accountable for! I'm so excited for the changes this family is in for (change is hard but also good)! Here's to always growing & learning together 👨‍👩‍👧🐶

SQUEAK !!

His name is the most fun 😋

Squeak is a 5 year old full-blooded mutt 🫶 He's coming in with an amazing family behind him who has already set ground rules for him, got him going with some obedience, and who understand the dog he is & what he needs for success!

He's here for Basic Day Train week so we can open up a new line of communication with him that will allow us to resolve any misunderstandings, set more precise boundaries, improve his reliability, and provide overall clarity to his expectations.

With a human baby sister on the way, being able to work with Squeak more effectively, efficiently, and fairly will be imperative to what his life looks like moving forward. Squeak gaining higher standards is what will gain him more freedom with his family in the long run 💖
