Hello! my name is Camille Hearty, and I am the owner of Heartcove Canine! 🐾🌊
Here’s a little bit about myself!
Since I can remember, my whole life has pretty much revolved around animals. While I was growing up my mom bred, showed in conformation, and competed in CKC obedience with her German Shepherd Dogs. I was very lucky to have been surrounded by well bred, well trained, and even tempered dogs from a very young age. I always loved attending classes and trials with my mom, and being around all things dog related. When I was 7 years old, I also began riding horses and enjoyed the hunter jumper discipline for many years! Fast forward a few more years; my mom rescued a little 4 month old potcake from the Turks & Caicos Islands. Eli inspired “Eastern Ontario Potcake Rescue”, which my mom founded in 2016, and I have played an active role in helping operate since I was 13yrs old! Since then we have rescued and placed almost 950 dogs in their forever homes. I am now the VP of EOPR, and I am beyond grateful for all I have learned in rescue over the last 8 years. I have had the pleasure of fostering over 250 dogs; from raising litters of puppies to training reactive and fearful dogs. Aside from rescue work with EOPR, I have also worked in pet retail since I was 15 years old, worked in a dog boarding kennel, and volunteered at various animal shelters in the Caribbean. I currently have 2 rescue dogs of my own; Reef is a Staffy/Akita mix, and Nash is a GSD! You’ll see them on here often:)
All of these experiences have sparked a great passion for training dogs, learning all that I can about dog behaviour, and helping dogs and their owners. My dream for a long time now has been to operate my own training business, and I am very excited to make that dream a reality!
I am currently enrolled in a fantastic professional pet dog trainer program, and while I will not be accepting clients until I have graduated from the program later this year, I am so excited for the future! Thank you for being here, and thank you for supporting me! ✨🩵
