About Heeling with Nature
At Heeling with Nature, my work is centered on strengthening the relationship between dogs and their humans through thoughtful, individualized training. I believe behavior is communication, and every dog deserves to be understood, supported, and guided with care.
I’m Tuesday Essa, owner and trainer behind Heeling with Nature. My path into dog training began early, shaped by a lifelong connection with animals and a deep curiosity about behavior. I’ve worked with a wide range of species and spent years as a Veterinary Technician, where I gained firsthand experience with canine health, stress, fear responses, and complex behavioral challenges. Supporting animals through difficult moments taught me how closely behavior, environment, and emotional well-being are connected.
In addition to dogs, my background includes working with horses, where patience, consistency, and clear communication are essential. That experience continues to inform how I approach dog training today: with respect for the animal, attention to emotional regulation, and an emphasis on building trust rather than control.
My training style is balanced, humane, and highly individualized. I work with dogs who are reactive, anxious, sensitive, overstimulated, or struggling with big feelings in a busy world. Sessions focus not only on skills and behavior change, but also on helping owners better understand their dog’s needs and signals, so progress can continue long after our sessions end.
Heeling with Nature offers in-home and virtual training, meeting dogs where they are most comfortable and where real-life challenges actually occur. Whether you’re navigating behavior concerns, strengthening foundational skills, or looking for support with confidence and regulation, my goal is to make training feel clear, supportive, and empowering for both you and your dog.
If you’re looking for a trainer who values connection, compassion, and real-world results, I’d be honored to work with you.
