Question 1

What makes From The Heart different from other dog trainers?

Accepted Answer

We don't believe behavior exists in isolation. We take a whole-dog approach built around five pillars — Fulfillment, Structure, Communication, Confidence, and Relationship. Our goal isn't just a dog that obeys commands; it's to change the way you understand your dog so you can build a relationship that lasts a lifetime.

Question 2

Where do I start?

Accepted Answer

For most people, the best first step is joining the From The Heart Community to get to know our philosophy, followed by a Behavior & Training Consultation (a private session). From there we build a customized recommendation around your dog. Visit our Get Started page to see the full journey.

Question 3

What areas do you serve?

Accepted Answer

We provide premium in-person services throughout Metro Detroit, Michigan — including Royal Oak, Birmingham, and Troy. Our Community, coaching, and educational content are available to dog owners anywhere.

Question 4

Do you require vaccinations?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The health and safety of your pup is extremely important to us. All vaccinations must be up to date, and we cannot accept dogs without proof of a current vaccination record.

Question 5

How does Structured Daycare work?

Accepted Answer

Structured Daycare is behavior-focused and trainer-led — dogs come to practice, not just to be watched. All dogs first complete a Private Lesson and a Daycare Evaluation ($75), then begin as "Black Dogs" ($50/day) with one-on-one support before graduating to "Pink Dog" status ($40/day). All dogs over one year must be spayed or neutered to attend.

Question 6

Do you offer boarding?

Accepted Answer

We continue to offer boarding to select existing clients, but it isn't a featured service. Our focus is education, coaching, training, and community — helping you and your dog grow for the long term.

Question 7

How do I book or pay?

Accepted Answer

All bookings and purchases are handled securely through our Gingr portal. Just tap any "Book Now" button to create your profile and reserve your spot.
