Change the Way You Think About Your Dog.
From The Heart is more than dog training. We're an education, coaching, and community brand — helping you understand your dog and build the relationship you've always wanted, one that lasts a lifetime.
This is a completely different way of thinking about your dog.
Most training teaches your dog. We help you understand them. Lasting change doesn't begin by changing dogs — it begins by changing the way owners understand them. When you think differently, everything else follows.
Education First
We teach you how dogs think, learn, and communicate — so you're never guessing again.
Coaching & Community
Live coaching, workshops, and a supportive community that grows with you and your dog.
A Whole-Dog Approach
Behavior never exists in isolation. We look at the whole dog — body, mind, and relationship.
Everything we teach is built on five core pillars
A consistent foundation for every dog and every owner — the heart of our whole-dog approach.
Fulfillment
Meeting your dog's real needs — physical, mental, and emotional — so calm, confident behavior has a foundation to stand on.
Structure
Clear, consistent boundaries and routines that help your dog feel secure because they always know what to expect.
Communication
Learning to read your dog — and to speak in a way they actually understand — so you're finally on the same page.
Confidence
Helping dogs (and their owners) move through the world calmly and steadily, without fear or overwhelm.
Relationship
The whole point of everything we do: a deep, trusting relationship that lasts a lifetime.

Hi, I'm Victoria.
My journey began with my dog Maggie — and grew into a mission to help owners who feel overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure how to help their dogs. From The Heart is built on structure, consistency, and real communication, so you and your dog can finally understand each other.
With a background in Business Management, an MBA, and years of hands-on training, I've built From The Heart into a thoughtful, structured program — and I'm hands-on with every dog and owner in it.
Read our storyReal dogs. Real families. Real change.
From two-week camps to daily report cards, here's what From The Heart families have to say.
“Victoria is a magician. Our 9-month-old Sheepadoodle did a 5-day training at Victoria's home while we were on vacation. We came home to a new dog. It was so amazing to see him doing things we never thought he'd be able to do. I feel like Victoria laid the groundwork for success. Worth every penny!”
Debbie
Murray, Sheepadoodle
“We opted for the 10-day bootcamp for our Goldendoodle, Penny. I am truly blown away by the progress she made in that short amount of time. It has been nothing short of a pleasure working with Victoria and Mel, and I am forever grateful for the foundation that was laid with Penny.”
Rachel
Penny, Goldendoodle
“Victoria is very professional. She kept us updated every day on Rane's progress with daily pictures and videos. This training has truly changed our incredibly busy lives! The only thing you'll regret is not doing it sooner!”
Holly
Rane
“My dog can be a handful and Victoria handled him perfectly. Mack is a reactive dog — what a difference 2 weeks made. We got daily report cards with videos explaining what they worked on. It was awesome to see the changes in him. Highly recommended.”
Brian
Mack
“I sent my 6-month-old cocker spaniel to From The Heart for two weeks and she came back a whole new woman! I am amazed at how much she learned in such a short time. From The Heart is nothing short of amazing and I rate them an A+++. ❤️”
Via
Bailey, Cocker Spaniel
“Victoria has been such a tremendous help with our Pyrenees mix, Freya! After each session we've seen immediate improvement. She used to pull the entire walk and now she walks on a loose leash and does much better with distractions. I highly recommend Victoria and her approach!”
Samantha
Freya, Pyrenees mix
“I sent my 1-year-old goldendoodle to Victoria. He came back a completely different dog in the best way — and still has his goofy personality! Now he goes on several walks a day and doesn't pull, gets into the car on his own, and listens! Definitely recommend. 💕”
Lyndsey
Goldendoodle
“We are so pleased with the transformation of our sweet boxer pup, Joey! The difference is night and day. Now he listens and follows all of his commands and can go on walks or into stores without being reactive. I would highly recommend From The Heart.”
Cynthia
Joey, Boxer
“Victoria did a great job on our 5-month-old chocolate lab, Charlie. Changed our life and Charlie's. Highly recommend.”
Robert
Charlie, Chocolate Lab
“From The Heart is amazing. We have an 11-month-old Weimaraner who was very loving but very high energy. Annabelle did a two-week training with Victoria and I can say she is completely a different dog. My husband and I will be forever grateful.”
Tina
Annabelle, Weimaraner
“From The Heart has helped our two Boxers and our family so much! Victoria worked on anxiety, building confidence, establishing routines, and commands. We looked forward to the daily emails with pictures and videos. We highly recommend From The Heart!”
Jaime
Two Boxers
“Absolutely amazing! I can't recommend From The Heart enough. Rita is home now and I have to say she's a different dog — so much more calm in and out of the house. All in all, an incredible experience. So worth it if you'd like to see a change in your dog.”
