Why We Clicker Train and Why It Matters To You
Positive reinforcement training (aka. clicker training) is the most effective tool to teach the behaviours we need from our dogs. It's so great to show our dogs what we want them to do through clear communication, rather than constantly telling them no. Clicker training allows us to humanely and effectively teach our dogs to live in our human world.

"Ashley is a truly exceptional person! She is passionate about what she does and it really shows! My dog and I have made great progress in only 2 weeks, and we couldn't have done it without Ashley! She offers constant support and guidance, without any judgement. Her methods are all about positive reinforcement and counter conditioning, and it makes the training sessions so fun! I would recommend Okanagan Heavenly Dog 100 times over, and I would definitely work with her again!"

"Ashley Hunt is so knowledgeable and kind. It is always evident that she has a love and respect for animals. It is always a great pleasure being guided by her to create an even better relationship with our dog. Our dog loves Ashley!"

"Lou is a reactive dog with a lot of triggers. After only 4 sessions with Ashley he is now able to look at some triggers and then look away without lunging or barking. We still have work to do but Ashley has set us up for success-she has given us exercises and knowledge to work through Lou's issues as he progresses further. I would highly recommend Ashley!"

"As a brand new dog mom, I felt way in over my head and was looking for someone to walk the journey with me. Ashley's sweet spirit, calm guidance, and affirmation made all the difference. Not only did she teach my pup things I never could have alone, she taught me so much too. I now feel like I understand my dog better and enjoy being with him. Seeing him HUSTLE towards me at full-tilt is such a gift!! Thank you, Ashley."
-Lisa and Coach, Penticton BC
"Ashley is an exceptional dog trainer who combines knowledge with genuine kindness and patience. From the very first interaction, it was clear how much she loves animals. My dog took to her almost instantly, which says everything! She never made me feel silly for asking questions or needing something explained again. Ashley made the training process enjoyable for me and my dog, Sadie. We learned SO much from Ashley. We can’t recommend her highly enough!"
