Dogs in Harmony

Dogs in Harmony Top Rated South Bay Professional Dog Trainer

In order to live with dogs in harmony, we must understand and meet the needs of the dog.
(10)

Repetition shapes behavior, communication builds relationships. Living with dogs in harmony means fulfilling your dog's needs. All dogs need good nutrition, exercise, leadership, socialization, and mental stimulation. Meeting your dog's needs on a regular basis limits unwanted behavior and creates a confident and content dog. Dogs don't come home instinctively knowing how to communicate with peopl

e. It is our responsibility as pet owners to learn how to communicate with them. We must teach them how to be members of our family. By creating a clear line of communication we will build the basis of a long lasting and meaningful relationship.

We love that puppy socialization is making international news. We couldn’t agree more. Here are two quotes from this article.

“research revealed almost two-thirds of dogs have reacted with fear or confusion to attributes they have not been exposed to before.”

"Rather than expose puppies to everything and everyone all the time, people should focus on bringing dogs into a variety of situations at a comfortable rate and helping them practise a calm, neutral response."

People with beards, moustaches, brightly coloured mohawks, facial piercings and tattoos are being urged to come forward to help train future guide dogs.

🐾 Improve your dog's recall by making coming to you the best thing ever! Practice in different environments using high-value treats and enthusiastic praise when they respond to their name. Gradually increase distance and distractions.

Recall games can be a great way of keeping recalls fun and exciting. What are your favorite recall games to play at home? Need some hints, drop us a comment!

Socialization isn't merely about playtime—it's about cultivating positive experiences across diverse settings. Take Squish, for instance: despite his strong prey drive, he never chases the chickens. Thanks to thorough training and desensitization, we've managed to make the chickens entirely uninteresting to him. That paid off handsomely today! While I was tidying up the coop, the chickens wandered out, yet Squish drew upon his training and continued to disregard them, maintaining his composure even outside his usual environment.

Linus started out at our school when he was 8 weeks old. Christine McElhaney brought him in diligently and worked throughout program all the way to level 3. She then continued working with him in dog sports and now he has a bunch of tittles. This talented dog does Rally, nose work and urban location (I might be missing some stuff). He’s a perfect representation of breeding, proper socialization, owner dedication and appropriate technique. Well done team linus!!

🎉 Congratulations, Linus, who earned his MULCH (Master Champion Urban Locating) title through NASDA. His first prefix title!

He also recently earned two legs in AKC Rally Novice A, as well as his NACSW NW1 and L1V.

Way to go team Christine and Linus 👏

🎁The gift of communication... Dogs aren't born knowing how to speak human. Effective communication is the difference between a puppy who jumps on you to say hello and one who sits patiently and waits for you. The difference between one who chews on you while playing and one who goes for their favorite toy to let you know they want to play. When we are able to effectively communicate with our dogs, we are able to begin growing a relationship based on understanding and trust! 🎁

This Holiday Season, give the gift of Communication and Learning with a Dogs In Harmony Gift Certificate!

⚫️Our Pre- is on NOW! ⚫️

🎁The gift of play... Play has been found to be an important part of your dog's wellbeing. In fact, a 2018 study of 4,000 dogs showed a strong correlation between a lack of play and over 22 common behavioral issues. Play is an important physical and mental workout, and can increase connection, bonding, and focus. Learning appropriate play behavior, both with humans and other dogs, is an important part of all of our puppy and group classes!🎁

Holiday travel can be so difficult, and finding someone trustworthy to leave your pet with can be even harder! We understand how challenging it can be to find someone able to care for pets over the holidays, and due to an increase in requests for holiday boarding we've decided to open up boarding inside of our facility. Pets will rest easy in a facility they know, under the supervision the Dogs In Harmony trainers you already know and love!

🎁The gift of focus... Our dogs are the centers of our universe, and we love it when we're the centers of theirs, too. Focus and impulse control can be developed through consistency, training, and lots of positivity and rewards! Not every puppy is able to focus in a room full of distractions, but these Harmony School rockstars can! 🎁

This Holiday Season, give the gift of Focus and Learning with a Dogs In Harmony Gift Certificate! We've bundled our most popular programs together, and added an additional 15% discount with code GIFTOFLEARNING
