Hi, I’m Andrew, the name behind and founder of Andrew’s Canine Academy!
With a family full of educators, teaching is in my blood. Since graduating from a professional dog training academy in 2009, I've worked under numerous trainers who have mastered their fields and continue to expand my knowledge. I’m experienced in obedience, agility, search-and-rescue, aggression/reactivity, force-free methods, balanced methods, service dog training and scent detection.
​
I believe that all dogs deserve training, but no one method works for every dog. That’s why I adapt my training approach to complement the needs of each individual dog and owner, helping them reach their goals and full paw-tential.
​
I truly love my work, and can’t wait to extend that passion to your pup’s training!
What my clients are saying
“Klyde was running my life — and had ruined many of my things. I hadn’t slept through the night in five years because, at 80 pounds, I couldn't make him crate. BUT I love Klyde with my whole heart. I was hopeless and worn-out. After all, Klyde was already four.
​
Andrew Heck saved us both. He not only worked wonders with Klyde, he patiently trained me. Andrew was the best — showing me even subtle changes could make HUGE differences!
​
Thank you, Andrew, for getting us to the place where I love Klyde and get to enjoy a calmer, well-behaved companion. I recommend Andrew without reserve and so does Klyde!”
-Rev. Robin R. with “Klyde”
