Our Training Approach
Balanced, Effective, and Clear Training
At K-9 Harmony, we use a balanced approach tailored to each dog and program. Depending on your dog’s needs and the program you choose, we combine positive reinforcement with tools like training collars, food rewards, and E-collars to ensure clear communication and consistent results for a lifetime. Our goal is always fairness, effectiveness, and clarity- helping both you and your dog understand expectations so progress is achievable and enjoyable.
Success Stories
“We can take Cali along with us on family outings – just as we could when she was a new puppy. We have a lot more outlets for her boundless energy than just long, long walks and runs. Leila truly helped us settle into a better lifestyle and routine with our active and attention-loving dog.”
Leila is AMAZING and I can’t thank or recommend her enough. My ~1yo coonhound mix has both high independence and high anxiety somehow, and I was completely at a loss for how to get through to her. A few months of implementing the techniques, and Kida is now fully off leash on every local walk and every potty break in our unfenced yard. Thank you, Leila, from the bottom of Kida’s earsplitting bark.
Leila was incredible to work with! Our energetic and smart Australian Shepherd came home from her board and train program a new well-behaved pup. We could not be more pleased with the progress in such a short time! This was a game changer for our household, and something we will definitely invest in with all future puppies!
