What we ask of our dogs has changed significantly

We ask so much more of our dogs today than simply being a backyard buddy. Since what we expect of our dog has changed, we must change our approach to dog training!

Casa Luna Canines is your partner in behavior-based dog training so your dog develops the essential skills they need to thrive in the human world. We go beyond basic obedience to help you tackle unwanted behaviors and have the buddy of your dreams.

Do you ever think “I’m failing as a dog owner”?

Do you find yourself saying “My dog…

…is reactive

Are you exhausted having your dog pull you around when on leash? Do they bark at other dogs or people or cars or pretty much anything in the environment?

…is aggressive

Does your dog have moments where he becomes aggressive towards other dogs or people, and it’s difficult to predict when it might happen?

…is destructive

Are you constantly buying new shoes, replacing pillows and blankets, and everything else your dog chews up? Has your once pristine garden been turned into a series of holes?

…gets into trouble

Does your dog bark excessively at every little thing like he’s the neighborhood watchdog? Does she pull on leash, jump on guests, counter surf, get into the garbage, or “accidentally” go potty in the house…more than one of these?

What Clients are saying

  • Rascal Chihuahua in the sun

    RASCAL

    Heather has taught us the necessary techniques to correct Rascal’s negatively-reactive behavior around people and other dogs. Her positive, supportive approach makes training fun. Thanks to her, Rascal is now calmer and less fearful in new situations.

  • Sierra and Owner in the truck

    SIERRA

    Thank you!! We just got back from our walk and she did amazing in and out of the house, and the gate! She stayed inside the open gate until we told her she could go. She’s doing so great! We are grateful for you!!

    — Michelle Freschi and Brandon Smith

  • Jack Terrier Face

    JACK

    We were having training issues with our pup. We took two other dog training courses with two different trainers and were so disappointed. We luckily found Heather with Casa Luna Canines through a referral and what a difference she has made!

    We have taken one group class with Heather and a package of training sessions, and we are so happy with the results. She is so knowledgeable and loves what she does. She not only loves dogs but trains both the dog and the dog owner!

    — Lori Cavenaugh

  • Sandy the Tervuren Puppy

    SANDY

    Casa Luna canines helped me last year with training procedures for a very large over active Tervuren puppy. Heather Furby knows dogs & is wonderful with all breeds!!!

    — Penelope Curtis

  • Grizz the dog with owner

    GRIZZ

    DescriptionI'm seriously SO lucky to have found Heather to help pet sit my dog, Grizz. She is such an amazing person who really cares about her clients and always has your animal's care as her top priority…Her background in dog training is really beneficial since Grizz has some behavioral issues. I was able to check out her place before Grizz's first stay there, and let me tell you, Heather’s property is like heaven on Earth for a dog. There are lots of dog runs for the pups to play around in, and the whole property provides good shade so I never have to worry about Grizz overheating since he's got a lot of fur. As long as I'm living in the Grass Valley area, Heather will always be my go-to sitter!

    THEO

    I took my rescue dog to Casa Luna Canines for a CGC class and we both had a great experience! Heather is focused on developing the relationship you have with your dog and not just teaching simple commands, so that both owner and dog develop trusting relationship which makes it easy to develop the skills needed by both to continue to learn and grow.

The Best gift you can give your dog
(and yourself) is to help them become…

Calm.

It all begins with helping your dog learn to be calm. When they don’t have to spend their days making all kinds of crazy choices and deciding what is good and bad and important, you’ll find that your pup is able to listen to you when you are walking, working together or simply enjoying time around the home. They will also learn to enjoy the value of a good nap!

Confident.

A confident dog knows that new and novel experiences are a way of life. By helping your dog overcome their fears and see the world as a safe place you build the foundation for loose leash walking, a solid recall and the ability to go out and about in the world.

Connected.

When you have a deep understanding of, and relationship with, your calm and confident dog, you will be able to go into almost any new situation feeling connected with your buddy. Remember the dream you had when you got your dog? Let’s make that a reality!
