When Richard came to train my dog(Mr.Mello) it was like
night and day
He was very calm and spent a lot of time talking to me on
how to handle Mr Mello and showed me what to do to
control his running out the door
A few days later Mr Mello started agressing again and after
a quick call from Richard Heinz I was able to get Mr Mello
back under control
There are lots of trainers out there but before you go to
them Give The Miami Dog Whisperer a call
He gives 100 percent and is always available if a problem
occurs
Its only been a few days and I can see a dramatic
improvement In my 1 year old terrier mix
So call Richard Heinz first you wont be sorry

"The puppy training class with The Miami Dog Whisperer
has been great. We were so impressed that in the first
class our puppy, could learn a couple of new commands,
something that she never did before. Richard has really
helped us to understand our dog's behavior and how to
modify her actions and attitude. We would highly
recommend Richard and The Harvard Of Dog Training
Family to anyone."

"I have always wanted a Doberman since I was a kid. My
parents objected.
“Dobermans are killers”, they told me over and over again.
I remember many, many years later watching the
‘Doberman Gang’ movie.
That did it for me, I had to have a Doberman.
One day I heard about Cesar, the Dog whisperer from
Mexico on TV . I was
flabbergasted by all the things I had never done for my
dogs, and to the
lack of attention, understanding and care I had showed
for them.
In my mind they had always been just that.... Animals....
Dogs. That got me going, and finally I got my Doberman.
I started the search for a trainer.
Sometime later a friend suggested I contact Richard
Heinz. He was very well known and respected in the field
and was as good, if not better, and more ‘all around than
Cesar’. He just did not have a TV show, my friend said,
and that was the one and only difference.
I was skeptical , and hesitantly I made the call and....
Wow!
This fellow Heinz ‘really knows Dogs”.
He has brought into my household an understanding,
leading to an
enjoyment, of our Doberman, that we never had before as
a family with any
of the many pets we have owned ‘pre-Richard”.
We came to the realization that his system was about not
only training Ivanka, but also training the whole family, in
how to deal with Ivanka.
Ivanka, my Doberman, enjoys learning with Richard
enormously, and
Richard has been able to transfer all that attention and
love he gets from
Ivanka to our family. What a difference!
I watched Richard the other day on CBS TV, and I can tell
you Cesar better
watch out! ...Mr. Heinz is all action and results !
From day one he has given us a thorough understanding
of Ivanka from
“inside out”. I now clearly understand how and what
Ivanka is ‘thinking” and how to best “communicate” with
her. Incredible!
Anybody , or almost anybody, can teach a dog to sit and
stay, but what
Richard does, is to create a bond between the pet and
the owner and the whole
family unlike anything I had ever seen, including Cesar’s
Hollywood shows.
We did not know what we were missing until we put
Richard together with Ivanka!
Richard Heinz is a Magician, the Real Deal! ...And now
he’s even on newspapers and TV!
His “Heinz System” has worked for us Beau---ti----fu---lly!
We as a family, highly recommend Richard to anybody
who owns a dog, regardless of size or
breed or even age!"

"I first discovered Richard Heinz when searching online for
a local dog trainer. I came across a series he had taped
for the local news on dog training in December. I knew
after watching that I had to call. I phoned and was able to
speak to both he & his wife Mary about classes for our 8
week old mini goldendoodle. After answering all of my
questions and concerns I felt assured he was the right
trainer for our puppy. This weekend she finished PUPPY
101. The thing we love most is that before leaving every
class he makes sure we know exactly what to do so we
can be consistent with her when we go home. Then, when
we arrive the next week, he first asks us to demonstrate
our progress. We are following his instructions and she is
doing fantastic! We are so excited, and she is well on her
way to becoming the most perfect family dog ever! We
can't wait to see how much progress she will make&n bsp;
in the next class! Richard is an incredible trainer. The
staff are truly lovely people and we feel like we have known
them for years! It was truly a blessing that we found them!"

"My Yorki-Poo,Pebbles, was a very hard headed little
puppy. Richard has worked miracles with her. It seems
that in minutes she can learn a new command or behavior
with his training. We are so happy with the immediate
results and plan to continue our training as she is getting
older."
Jill Finkelstein
Coconut Grove, FL.
"Richard did an excellent job of training my pug Max – he
has a way of being gentle but at the same time firm to get
your dog to behave. I recommend him for anyone who has
a dog that needs training; young or old."

"I just watched the December videos of Richard Heinz,
Miami's dog Whisperer! Excellent production!! I hired him
for assistance with my 4 dogs. I adopted a giant schnauzer
and my standard schnauzer did not like the intrusion. It
was a pretty ugly couple of weeks, but Richard brought
peace, calm and discipline to my house. His techniques
really work! "
Terry Sutherland
Medley, FL.







"Richard has trained our 3 dogs and all of our friends and
family's dogs, as well. He is fantastic and truly gifted. It
has been years since he trained our dogs and not only did
he solve our issues right away, but we are happy to report
that our dogs are still as well behaved as they were when
Richard trained them years ago. We are so lucky that a
friend recommended Richard, He changed our lives and
he will always be a part of our family."
-The Fernandez Family
Coral Gables, FL.
"Richard saved our dogs life. When we met him we were
considering putting our dog down and our vet
recommended Richard as a last resort. So we called him.
Truthfully we had had several trainers before him and did
not believe he could help us. Boy were we wrong, from the
moment he stepped into our homes we knew he was
different. We were immedietely amazed at how our dog
reacted to him and respected him right from the get go.
Richard was very gentle with him and he got results from
the first day. We were amazed. Richard gave us a better
understanding of our dog and we will be forever greatful.
Everyone is always amazed at teh difference Richard has
made in our dog and our famliy. He is truly one of a kind."

"I'm a very skeptical person, and when my wife and I heard
about this 'Miami Dog Whisperer' I was not excited, since
we had already had several trainers and none could help
us with our dogs' training issues. My wife met with
Richard Heinz first and after she signed up with him for
classes and he left from our home, she called me and
was so impressed with his methods and how
knowlegable he was, that for days she could not stop
talkng about him and so I decided to meet him in the next
lesson. I was amazed, as my wife had been by his
knowlege and how he seamed to know the dogs better
than we did and he had just met them. Currently, we are
big fans of Richard and his methods, I have become a
believer and both my wife and I recommend Richard every
chance we get. Our dogs are still wonderful and the things
we learned we will use forever. We still call Richard every
time we have a training question, and he is always happy
to help us and talk to us. We could not be more greatful
and could not tell you how much you and your dog need
him....even if you don't know it yet. Thanks Richard!"

After Richard trained our two dogs (Bear and Trixie) we
don't think of him as a trainer but a "magician" and a
friend to our dogs and us. Both dogs respected Richard
and loved him.
We still use the techniques Richard taught us. We wish
Richard all the success in the world, he deserves it."

DEAR RICHARD;
TRULY ENJOYED MEETING YOU TODAY....YOU CERTAINLY
BRING A FRESH WAY OF
EXPLAINING THE REALITY OF RAISING A DOG.
IMAGINE THIS,I HAVE THREE BOYS....WHEN WE GOT OUR
WEIMERANER, BACK IN
PUERTO RICO AND AFTER OWNING HIM FOR 5 MONTHS,I
CONCLUDED IT WAS WAY
EASIER HAVING ANOTHER CHILD!!!
THAT DAY I GAVE HIM AWAY,AND RESUMED NORMAL
SLEEPING HABITS....
ANYWAY,JUST WANTED TO THANK YOU FOR YOUR PATIENCE
AND OPTIMISM.MY WIFE
WAS CONSIDERABLY MORE RELAXED.......HAPPY WIFE,HAPPY
LIFE!!

I had been searching for a trainer for a couple of weeks
and I stopped after I met Richard. It was like and instant
click. You just get a good vibe from him. He is soft
spoken, never yells and the way the dogs respond to his
commands is truly amazing! He teaches us dog
psychology and how to truly understand the process of how
a dog thinks. This is my second week with him and my
dogs have learned more in 2 visits than 8 weeks at a pet
store. I have 2 miniature pinschers and if he can train
them, he can train anything!

I thought I was ready to train my new dog, Hopps, on my
own. Before bringing her home from the shelter, I had
read all of the books, watched all of the shows, and felt
prepared. Unfortunately, Hopps had other plans. In less
than two weeks of trying to train her, I was at my wit's
end. Hopps's behavior was terrible and I was beginning
to fear she could become dangerous to herself and
others. Thankfully, I found Richard and he turned it all
around. As soon as he walked in the door, I knew he
was the right person for the job. In just one session,
Richard had stopped Hopps's jumping, and had taught
her not to go out the front door. Soon to follow were sit,
stay, come, heel, and bed commands. At times we had
to try a few different training techniques to get it right, but
Richard always did what I was comfortable with and what
was best for Hopps. He never ended a session until we
had completed our objective, and he was always
available by phone and e-mail if I had questions or
concerns. With each session, I could see the change in
Hopps, and in myself. I used to dread taking Hopps for
her walks, but now I can't wait to get out and explore
together. Everywhere we go, people comment on what a
good dog she is. Thanks to Richard, Hopps has
become an obedient, confident, happy dog. And I have
become a confident, happy owner.

"I hope you can put this comment up on your web site.
Richard, The Miami Dog Whisperer was the 6th trainer we
had for our 2 dogs (yes the 6th!) and our last hope. Not to
bad mouth the other trainers, but they all did the same
thing, sit, stay, heel, etc. and expected to fix our agression
and separation anxiety issue that we had since we
brought our youngest (then 2 years old) into or home.
Richard walked though the doors and we could already
feel the difference. I was skeptical, but he came highly
recommended by a local shelter we called to drop off our
youngest dog, because we thought and were told by the
other 5 trainers, that he was hopeless!
Well, when Richard came in, the dogs immedietely
gavitated to him. When he sat down with my wife and I and
started to give us the run down of what was really going on
with our dogs, and gave us the guarantee that we could fix
this problem once and for all, my wife and I were skeptical
but something in his manner, in the way he spoke, in the
way the dogs reacted to him, made us believe.
We thought we were going to have to pay thousands of
dollars, to get Richard to come himself, but were happily
surprised at how resonable and down to earth his prices
are.
Well, it was the best money we ever spent and he doesn't
know this, but we would have paid triple, having known
what we know now.
This guy is for real. He made a believer out of me and I
can tell you that the results were almost immediete.
Our problem was fixed and this was 2 years ago. We still
call Richard from time to time, to say hello, or just get
some advice on something, or other. He is the nicest,
most down to earth guy I have ever met. He is gifted and
we will forever be greatful to him. "

"Our dog is 6 years old. We thought it was too late to train
him or break him of all the bad habbits he had
accumulated throughout the yeas mostly because our
lack of knowledge. Our vet recommended Richard, The
Miami Dog Whisperer, and we gave him a try. Oh, My God,
what a difference in our dog. We have been training with
Richard for 3 weeks and he has brought new life into our
home and suddenly we can enjoy our dog, take him
everywhere and even walk him without being pulled all
over the place. We can have people over without him
jumping on them. We are stil in awe. We love Richard and
you will too! He is truly magical! You really CAN teach an
old dog new tricks!

I was like you, researching all dog training sites, skeptical
that anyone could help me with my 2 crazy labs (Hershey
and Molly) who already had 3 dog trainers in the past, and
all gave up on them (and us) before training was over. Then
I read an article in a local Miami magazine about this
"Miami Dog Whisperer" Richard Heinz, and he seamed
like he knew what he was doing.
My wife called and spoke to Mary, who was very helpful, and
informative, you can see she knew what she was talking
about and my wife liked her immedietely.
We had our first evaluation with Richard a few days later
and were impressed right from the moment he walked in at
how our two crazy dogs reacted to him. First of all, they loved
him, and were drawn to him, but all he did was look at them
and they waited patiently so he could pet him and say hello
where they usually jump on people knocking them over.
They knew who the Alpha was and Richard was able to
transfer that over to us.
In the very first class, he had us walking them, together,
which is a miracle all on it's own, and heeling properly. No
yanking, no hitting, no yelling, nothing, just simple walking!!!!
He is the master, I tell you.
Well, we hired him, of course, and were pleasantly
surprised at how reasonable the price he gave us was.
Every week we could not wait to see Richard and learn
something new, we were always excited at how well our
dogs did during the week and were happy to share it with
Richard, who shared our happiness. We called him a few
times to ask him questions and Mary was able to help us
and when she could not, Richard always called back with
the right answers. We are one class away from the end of
our program, and although our dogs are amazing and we
have already recommended everyone we see with a dog to
Richard, we will miss him terribly and can't believe what a
wonderful experience we have had with him and how much
more we are now enjoying our dogs. You should give
Richard a call, and make an appointment, It will be the best
desicion you have ever made, for you and your dogs!
-Alex Villanueva and Family

It took me forever to decide to call Richard. I had heard
about him from my friends, from my vet, and I had seen
him on TV, but I still was skeptical since I had had 2
trainers before and neither of them with any kind of
results. One day I was at Whole Foods and what do you
know, I saw Richard's car parked there and I decided
then and there to call his phone. He was in the store and
I met him at the fruits and vegetable section. He was so
nice and down to earth. He talked to me for a while and
gave me some tips on what we could do with our dog. I
made an appointment for that Monday and had him
come to my home to meet my little terror.
5 weeks later my little terror has made a huge
improvement. He is well behaved and acctually listens to
my wife and I. He does not bite our kids any more and he
no longer jumps at anything and everything that comes
throgh the door.
Richard is a true miracle man! I am shocked at what a
difference he made right from the first visit. I never knew
that this was possible. I'm truly a fan of Richard, and his
methods and I now recommend him to everyone I see
with a dog.
He has a gift and my family and I are so greatful to have
been witness to it and to have had him worked with us
and our dogs.
Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!
