Don’t let the look of the harness fool you. It’s the worst choice of tool you can use to communicate effectively with your dog. If you’re struggling with your dog who walks on a harness or doesn’t walk on a harness, get in touch and I can help you!

So hi to Barney! 👋😍. He’ll be 3 this August and is a Mini Schnauzer. He’s a lover but you wouldn’t know it when you first meet him 😂
He’s been exhibiting nipping, biting and barking recently - they have a granddaughter and can’t take the risk of any bites so they called me. They tried another local trainer who was a positive only trainer but they were disappointed in the results.
Force free and positive only training will not help a dog who nips and bites. Full stop. The family didn’t know, so from now on we’re on the road to better behavior!
We started with on leash in the house always so we can communicate clearly, engagement exercises and no jump. They have plenty to keep them busy for the first week. As many of you who have worked with me know - learning to change your schedule to incorporate the dog is the hardest part at first!
I know they will be just fine 🫶🏻 Welcome Barney and family!

No one said it would be easy, especially if you have a dog with issues. Keep on trucking’ it only makes you stronger!
