Heeling Hounds Dog Training, founded by Glenda Herrin in 2008, provides in-home, science-based, positive reinforcement dog training services to families in Northwest San Antonio and Boerne, Texas. Glenda specializes in behavior modification for issues like barking, jumping, digging, separation anxiety, and reactivity, as well as obedience training and adoption transition counseling for newly adopted dogs. All training is conducted in the dog’s home environment to ensure real-life applicability, with no group classes or facility-based sessions. Glenda uses gentle, humane methods—no shouting, intimidation, or aversive tools—and incorporates the clicker method when appropriate. She also offers a unique Trainer Tag-a-Long Program for aspiring dog trainers to learn through ride-alongs. Her approach emphasizes family cohesion, clear communication, and stress-free learning for both dogs and owners.

Glenda has trained over 1,500 dogs since 2008 and is certified by the Certification Council for Professional Dog Trainers (CPDT-KA), Animal Behavior College (Level II), and Raise With Praise Dog Training. She is a Professional Member of the Association of Professional Dog Trainers and has mentored trainers for over a decade. Her clients include families with puppies, adult dogs, seniors, and rescue dogs with trauma, all of whom benefit from her calm, patient, and personalized style.

She also provides ongoing email and phone support at no extra cost and tailors every plan to the family’s lifestyle and goals, ensuring long-term success without the need for repeated intensive sessions.
