Hi David, I still need you to come to my farm and help with my Doberman. He is very good with us, but hurts the other 2 dogs when he is off leash and excited. The daily off leash walks are a must in order for him to get the proper amount of exercise.
I don’t however have any problems with him walking on a leash since that ONE session with you. I take him to Lowes frequently, and he is good as gold when he has on the collar you gave him.
Thanks, Sheila

One thing I must say is that Mr.Harris has to be one the most helpful trainers out there.I do not know him personally but the times I have e-mailed and called him he was very attentive and sincere in his answers.
We need more trainers that are willing to help like Mr. Harris!!

Thanks Jose. I appreciate the kind words, but you need to give yourself more credit. It is easy and fun to help people willing to help themselves. I admire the time and effort you are putting into raising a top quality dog. The world needs more owners like you that put their effort where their mouths are. You walk the walk and it makes me proud to assist you in anyway possible.
And hopefully you will think of me when it comes time to refer someone to buy a puppy, young adult or fully trained dog
I will be posting a new website soon with many dogs for sale and a wide range of services.
Think of me for all your dog and training needs.
