K9’s In Harmony- Dog Training

We had an amazing experience with Trish! Our dogs stayed for 3 weeks and while it was tough being without them, her near daily posts and videos made the process feel so much better. Our 3.5 year old Rott/golden retriever mix and 2 year old pit mix had some bad habits and lack of structure with our busy schedule. Both high prey drive that ultimately has lead us to keep our house completely separated - cats in the back half of the house and dogs in the front. It was a daily stressor in our life. Manners lacked big time, so having guests over was difficult to say the least. I had a lot of fears when researching board and train. What happens when they come home? How would we know what to do? Would we do it wrong? Would we undo it all? Would the dogs be like robots? I am thrilled to report that not only are the dogs very much still themselves, they are more confident and happier than ever. What I loved about Trish is her commitment to owners training as well. We had multiple calls and sessions in person to learn the systems and the tools. She taught us in a way that felt comfortable and low stress. She reassured our fears and encouraged us to give ourselves grace as we were learning too. 10/10 would recommend!

We had an incredible experience with Trisha at K9’s in Harmony Training and can’t recommend her highly enough. Our dog, Dolly, recently completed a three-week board and train program, and the results truly exceeded our expectations. Our main goals were to help Dolly stay calm when meeting new people and dogs, as well as build a solid foundation in basic obedience. Not only did Trisha help Dolly reach those goals, but she also gave us the tools and knowledge to continue reinforcing those behaviors at home. Dolly has made amazing progress and is now well on her way to being a wonderful ambassador for her breed. Trisha was extremely thorough and communicative throughout the entire process. She took the time to clearly explain her training methods and ensured we felt confident using the e-collar appropriately and effectively. Before Dolly came home, Trisha scheduled two separate, in-depth training sessions with us so we could fully understand what Dolly had learned and how to maintain her success moving forward. We especially appreciated the consistent updates—Trisha regularly sent training videos showing Dolly’s progress and demonstrating techniques we could continue using. It gave us so much peace of mind and helped us feel involved every step of the way. Even since completing the training, Trisha has made herself available for questions and advice as we continue this journey with Dolly. Something that is truly appreciated. If you’re looking for a knowledgeable, dedicated, and results-driven dog trainer, Trisha is the one to trust. She truly cares about both the dogs and their owners, and it shows in every aspect of her work.

We cannot say enough good things about our experience! We sent our 3-year-old golden retriever for a 3-week training program, hoping to work on her manners, confidence, and listening skills, and man we were not disappointed! Kona came home a truly transformed dog. Not only is she better behaved, but she’s more confident and attentive in ways we didn’t even know she was capable of. It’s like we’re seeing a whole new side of her. Thanks to Trish we’re actually excited to take her out with us as a family and include her in more of our daily life. It’s made such a difference for all of us! Highly recommend to anyone considering training with Trisha, she was absolutely worth it!

I adopted a shelter dog and he was thought to be part Great Dane which is why I rescued him (I’ve had Great Danes for 30 years). I have trained the breed and knew the breed very well. I did DNA test and the dog I adopted ended up being Boxer and Pit Bull. WAY more energetic than I was expecting and a VERY HIGH prey drive. I reached out to Trisha of K9’s In Harmony for help since this dog de-feathered one of my hens and attacked both my cats. I did not have the heart to take him back to the shelter (he had been there for 7 months before I adopted him). I chose to do the board and train option and I am SO HAPPY that I did. My shelter dog, Harvey got to be properly trained with an e-collar and then I was trained on how to use the e-collar. At first, I was really scared about it because I always heard really bad things about shock collars. I was rest assured that this collar was different and used properly can be an amazing tool to keep your dog safe and be able to communicate better when off-leash. Once I got comfortable with it, Harvey became a whole different dog. I live on 18 acres and he can be out of my site and I just have to press the sound button on the remote and he comes back to me. He is so used to it now I rarely have to activate the sound. I just have to call his name and he comes to me. All the foundation that K9’s In Harmony did with Harvey was top-notch and I was given the tools and training to do follow up back at home. I am happy to report that Harvey has not attacked another chicken since his training. The cats he was still very interested in and his prey drive was kicking in however he was listening to me this time. After several months of working with him from what I learned from Trisha….. I’m happy to report that he now has cat friends 😺👏🏼. One of the cats who he previously attacked now comes up and insists on saying good morning to Harvey every day (see video). Harvey and “his cat”, Ruger, walk around the farm with me. I am forever grateful for K9’s In Harmony for helping me turn a shelter dog with a very high pray drive into a dog that has no interest in chasing chickens, and if a cat runs by, he instantly sits without me, even giving him a command to do so. I can’t say enough good things about K9’s In Harmony. Thank you Trisha, for helping me save a shelter dog and giving him a second chance at life and giving me the support, confidence and tools needed for me to continue the training at home. Harvey now lives in harmony with all my farm animals 😌❤️🐶
