Hi, I’m Ashley- the trainer behind Intuitive Heeling.

I am a Professional Dog Trainer (CPDT-KA), an American Kennel Club (AKC) evaluator, a certified Canine Massage Therapist and Reiki Practitioner, and a lifelong animal lover. I’ve spent the past 15+ years training, fostering, and supporting dogs with complex behaviors and unique needs, as well as guiding the people who love them. My approach is grounded in real-world experience, continuing education, and a deep respect for each dog and guardian as individuals.

Hercules, my self-trained service animal, shaped the way I work with dogs and their people. My journey with him has shown me that behavior change is built on consistency, clarity, and trust, and his evolving needs led me to integrate massage and energy work into my approach. By blending research-based training with intuitive care, I help dogs and their families achieve calm, confident behavior and lasting real-world results.
