Dog masseur and training assistant

Pet care experience

Hello! I am a lover of all breeds and temperaments. I will run, walk, or hike with your dog. I am a certified animal massage therapist and am training to be a dog behaviorist. I have previously worked as a groomer and in training facilities. I am willing to work with dogs who have some behavioral issues. No one is perfect and that's ok! My schedule is very flexible so feel free to make an unusual time request. I provide a calm and relaxed environment for your pet and put all my energy into giving them a fun and positive experience every time. Being trusted to care for your fluffy family member is a responsibility I take seriously while also enjoying wet puppy kisses and exuberant play sessions.

I have known Harmony Leiker for over 10 years. I also work with animals (city shelter) and I am very choosy as to whom I allow to care for my animals. I know Harmony is competent and caring and cares for my animals as if they were her own. She keeps abreast of current information in animal care, sports & training. She is also skilled in pet massage and I hired her to massage my geriatric lab who has arthritis. My lab enjoyed the sessions and was able to walk with less pain afterwards.

Harmony is an animal lover. Not only does she love animals, she is knowledgeable about care and training & is even certified for dog massage. You can trust your pet in her care - she will never treat with love and kindness. Not only will you be able to relax knowing your loved one is in her care, I think your pet will actually look forward to spending time with her.

I am a professional animal behaviorist and dog trainer. I first met Harmony when she brought her dogs in to my agility classes. Right away, you can see her special gift with dogs. Over the past few years she has studied canine behavior and even became a professional dog masseuse! I have hired her to assist me in private dog training lessons many times and she is absolutely fantastic. I trust my dogs with her 100% and I know your dogs will be very lucky to have Harmony in their lives as well. Meghan McLeod

I met Harmony through dog training classes. While my rambunctious puppy would speed through the agility courses, often missing elements, Harmony's dog would methodically approach each station and Harmony would patiently coax her through. Harmony's dog and mine became buddies, and Harmony suggested an "open gym" play date, and they had an excellent time each time they were let loose in the arena. As a new furbaby mom, I was unsure of how to deal with some of the parts of having a pup (like clipping nails), but Harmony talked me through with good advice (she used to work at a groomer's). Harmony has great compassion for animals, and even studied massage therapy for dogs! She was always willing to take care of my dog if we ever had to leave town without our pup, and though I never took her up on her generous offer, I know my dog would have had a great time with Harmony and her furry clan.

Information Harmony L. would like to know about your pet

I love and accept all breeds. It's ok if your pup isn't perfect, but I do need to know if he has any issues. For example, leash aggression, resource guarding, excessive pulling, territorial, hates skateboards, etc. I would also need to know about any medical issues and a bit about their personality.

A typical day

I am in good shape so I'll do my best to match the energy level of your pup. I want to go where your dog likes to be. I'll play fetch and frisbee or I'll relax with your senior dog under a tree and give her a good petting session. I will tailor walks and visits to your needs.
