Cody and Ellie - HEEL Dog Training
Our Story

Built out of necessity.

HEEL started the way most real solutions do. Our founder, Cody, was managing a real estate portfolio across Chicago while raising an Australian Shepherd puppy named Ellie. Every YouTube video contradicted the last one. One trainer recommended corrections, another said purely positive. None of it was built for his dog, and none of it was designed for someone with 20 minutes between meetings.

So he built the tool he wished existed.

What started as a way to stay consistent with one dog's training became something much bigger. HEEL is a personalized dog training platform that uses a quiz-driven engine to build a structured plan tailored to each dog's breed, age, behavior challenges, and owner experience level. Every lesson is rooted in positive reinforcement and behavioral science, not opinion, not trends, not one trainer's personal philosophy.
