Working together.
Welcome to Harmony Puppy Training. Learn more about the different ways we can work together.
Harmony Puppy training is based upon scientific methods. Positive reinforcement is just one of the tools used in the training toolbox I will provide you with. The methods we will use are free of force, fear, and pain.
Teaching dog body language is extremely important in our journey together. Learning body language is necessary. Taking the time to figure out what is enriching to your dog is imperative. What guardians need to remember is each dog is unique. Your dog is unique!
During our initial consultation, we will set up long-term goals and short-term objectives together. We will develop management guidelines to help promote ongoing success.
You will have hands-on homework to do with your dog. This is important and fun. Training your dog under my guidance will be a wonderful bonding experience for both of you. I take each guardian’s time into consideration when assigning homework.
Collaboration is vital and often time-sensitive when addressing behavioral issues. Keeping track of the behavioral changes you see is important. Identifying areas that may need to be modified as we work together is standard.
Throughout the time we work together, I am available via email or text if you have questions about a session. Phone conversations, if needed, are available per half-hour. They are $65 dollars a half hour.
If your dog is showing behaviors of extreme fear or aggression towards strangers, we may want to consider a zoom session to start. This session may be beneficial for everyone involved. I do not need to see or trigger this type of behavior to help you and your dog!
