Brody is working on strangers coming into the house. We are rewarding him for disengaging from the stranger and focusing on me when I say his name. Also working to decrease barking. This is a big improvement for him!

Enjoy a clip of Maple’s training session today. When she arrived a week ago she didn’t know her name or any basics! As a rescue pup she has been a little shut down when it comes to training but she is really starting to turn around this week and is more eager to work!

Miss Maple Mae got to pick up kids from school today. She has been the best girl calmly waiting in the car with me.

Helping Enhance the Human-Animal Bond

Our mission statement. Harmonious Handling wants to help every dog owner enhance the human-animal bond with their pet. We use positive reinforcement methods to teach basic manners, advanced training, and help recondition/reshape problem behaviors. Through proper training and handling, we help create a deep meaningful connection with your dog and create mutual trust.

About the owner, Melissa. My passion for animals started at a very young age. As a child, it felt as though all the stray dogs and cats found me. To my mother's dismay, I was sure to bring home every animal I thought needed my help. I brought home everything including dogs and cats, to snakes and snails.

I started working in the veterinary field when I was 16 cleaning kennels at a small Veterinary Clinic in Iowa. I moved up from kennel work and became an assistant. Later on, I began doing reception work in general and emergency veterinary clinics. I then moved on to become a Veterinary Technician when I was 21.

As I continued on my career path I took a special interest in animal behavior, fear-free practices, and training. At 29 I decided to take the next step and open Harmonious Handling. I am sure you will quickly see my passion for working with animals in our time together, and I look forward to meeting you and your pup.​
