Training Philosophy
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.
