Testimonials
Heidi helped me so much when my two little shih’tzu pups started up with barking and reactivity around the neighborhood. She helped me with strategies to manage and prevent the behaviors and they have improved so much since working with her. Not only is she really knowledgeable about dog behaviors, how to train and what works, but it is clear how much Heidi loves dogs. Both my pups absolutely adore her. I would recommend True Bond to anyone in the Portland area looking for a dog trainer. Don’t hesitate!

My sweet aussie Taika was having a tough time adjusting after our recent move. He developed a lot of anxiety around new people coming to the house, which led to jumping on visitors and barking.. A LOT. I booked a consult with Heidi, and she immediately gave us simple, doable suggestions to try. Honestly, I was shocked at how quickly we saw results once I started implementing what Heidi recommended.
What I appreciate most about Heidi is how thorough she is. She doesn’t expect you to remember every detail in the moment – her follow-up notes and reminders made it so much easier to keep practicing on my own. That extra support made a huge difference for us.
Thanks to Heidi’s guidance, Taika is calmer and way happier when guests come over now and I can relax and actually hang out with my guests. I can’t recommend her enough if you’re looking for someone who really understands dogs and will help you make progress!

Heidi from True Bond Canine has been the lifeline that we needed. We have a very challenging rescue dog, Gemma. Heidi has employed techniques for us to use to help tamp down mild aggression and anxiety that consumes Gemma at times and can manifest into destructive behavior. Heidi is so easy to work with and is totally accessible for questions, concerns and help. Her training methods work! After 5 sessions and consistent training, the difference in our dog(s) is noticeable. I can’t recommend Heidi and True Bond Canine enough. If you have a challenging dog or if you want to have a stronger bond with your best friend, call Heidi our furry family members are worth It!
