1 Month Support
“Training” your dog really just means to guide your dog to perfectly integrate into your personal lifestyle while fulfilling your dog’s inherent needs at the same time. I create a program for your unique situation and support you throughout the process to ensure that you and your dog are successful. Nothing is more important to me than allowing you to experience the best possible relationship with your animal companion. I am committed to a force free, science based process in a playful and loving atmosphere.

The carefully thought out and well-proportioned design of the Haqihana harness guarantees maximum comfort in all situations. Any kind of pressure would be safely distributed onto the dog’s sternum and thorax only, even when the dog is pulling, jerking or being restrained. The harness therefore never causes pain or skin chafing. If properly used in combination with the longer leash the dog feels free of restriction and allows the dog to move naturally. The two buckles on the dog’s back make putting on and removing the harness easy for both the dog and the handler.

My Great Dog Training Realization
I have great admiration for trainers who work with non-domesticated animals. I just love to see a walrus open their mouth on cue to have their tusks measured or see an elephant place their giant foot on a stool to have their nails done. All done voluntarily on the animal’s…
Collar vs Harness: My View as a Professional Dog Trainer
Let’s get this out of the way: in the debate of collar vs harness, I believe – as a professional dog trainer – that harnesses are clearly a better option than collars. Yes, dogs have worn collars for millennia, but does that make it right? At this point in my…
