Mari is an amazing trainer who specialized in reactive dogs and truly understands her clients and their pets. She worked with us to address our dog Camilla's hyperreactivity and was the third trainer we tried. We were feeling frustrated and hopeless, but Mari never gave up on us or Camilla. Finally, with Mari's help, Camilla is making great progress and we are now able to take her to the dog park and join Mari's group pack walks regularly.We were so impressed with Mari's skills that we decided to bring our troubled Brodie collie mix, Zuko, to her for training as well. Zuko had difficulty with leash manners and was challenging to train, but after just the second session with Mari, his leash manners were mastered. Mari has also helped us with potty training Zuko.We are currently on our third package of classes with Mari and have been consistently impressed with her dedication and expertise. If you're looking for a skilled and compassionate trainer because you think your dog is untrainable, please reach out to Mari. She has a special touch with reactive dogs and can help even in the most difficult cases. We highly recommend her to anyone in need of dog training services and we will continue to use her services in the future.

Dogs in Harmony is amazing! We adopted our 5-year-old rescue dog, Dunkin, in December, and he was very leash reactive to everything, but especially other dogs. Dunkin did a few drop-off sessions with Shanni because of COVID and she helped us understand so much about who Dunkin is as a dog and how we could help him feel confident and comfortable with us as his new family. She connected us to a great vet behaviorist who helped us immeasurably and then we began Zoom training sessions with Shanni's colleague, Diana. Diana is an incredible, knowledgable trainer who obviously loves dogs so deeply. I could feel her love and pride for Dunkin through the screen as he learned more each week! We learned so much from our sessions with Diana and went from a family who stayed at home with our dog 24-7, scared to take him out into the world, to a family who can now confidently take leashed walks with a dog who listens and pays attention to us! Our training sessions have helped us build a loving relationship with our dog and troubleshoot any behaviors that came out as we got to know him better. I highly recommend Shanni and Diana and Dogs in Harmony. They know so much about dogs and positive reinforcement training and they also love dogs so deeply. They will love your dog right along with you and help you become the best owner and companion for YOUR dog. I am so grateful for them.

I've been coming to this vet for over 4 years and I loved them until recently. I called to schedule an appointment for my dog. I needed to schedule my dog for an appointment for Saturday. They informed me that they were fully booked; however, they could fit me in, but I would have to pay a $15 fit in fee (I was open for the next 3 Saturdays). If they were fully booked and only accepted emergencies I would completely understand, but it appears they have appointments available but want to charge their loyal customers a fit in fee. I wasn't even given the option to receive a call in case of a cancellI definitely won't be returning and will look for a vet that appreciates their customers. Update 7/17: Kristen reached out to me and discussed my experience with the office staff. She addressed my concerns and informed me that the $15 drop in fee was for same day appointments, which makes sense. I truly appreciated her professionalism and efforts in order to rectify the situation.
