Pacific Pooches Dog Training was built from a shared passion, years of hands-on experience, and one simple goal: helping dogs and their owners live happier, more connected lives together.

Alyssa and Heather first met in 2020 through their mutual love of dogs and quickly realized they shared the same vision when it came to animal care and training. Although they each built their own businesses separately, they remained connected through the dog community and continued growing their experience in different areas of the industry.

Alyssa brings years of experience in doggy daycare, grooming, and veterinary care as a vet tech, giving her a deep understanding of canine behavior, health, and daily care. Heather’s background includes rescue work, dog training, and behavioral training, with a strong passion for helping dogs build confidence and helping owners better understand their pets.

In 2025, after years of friendship, experience, and shared goals, they officially came together to create Pacific Pooches Dog Training.

Today, Pacific Pooches focuses on creating personalized, real-life training that strengthens the bond between dogs and their families. Whether working with puppies, behavioral challenges, or basic obedience, Alyssa and Heather are committed to making training approachable, supportive, and effective for every dog they meet.

At Pacific Pooches, training is about more than commands — it’s about trust, communication, confidence, and creating a better life for both dogs and their people.
