What we're about
Harlow School for Dogs meets families & dogs where they are - we understand that it can be hard to find time to train your dog, and are committed to developing training plans that fit specifically with your dog & family needs.
​
We strive to set everyone up for success, humans and dogs included, and use only the least intrusive training methods available - meaning that we avoid punishment based training methods using coercion, force, or fear.
​
Certifications include Karen Pryor Academy Certified Training Partner (KPA CTP) and Certified Professional Dog Trainer, Knowledge Assessed (CPDT-KA). We believe that knowledge is power and are always learning more - continuing education including Dr. Friedman's Living and Learning With Animals course, Karen Pryor Academy's Puppy Start Right course, and more!
