Our Mission - Harmonious Hounds

Private Training & Group Dog Training Class Review “I cannot overstate the effectiveness of Tim’s teaching methods. I have a six month old Mini Labradoodle by the name of Ruby, and because of Tim’s patience and expertise in his field, she is able to apply basic commands as well as others that you would not expect a puppy to understand. His group classes are very helpful, and his individual classes are extremely effective. Tim has a genuine love and understanding of the puppies and adult dogs that he teaches. I am looking forward to all that me and Ruby will…

Dog Sitting, Private Dog Training, & Group Dog Training Class Review: “We reached out to Harmonious Hounds for training assistance with our newly adopted 2 yr old terrier, Jack. We found out very quickly that Jack overreacts to strange people and dogs. This includes behavior like frantically barking and lunging. Meanwhile, as a first time dog owner, I was overwhelmed. Similarly, my wife hadn’t lived with a dog since she was young, so we were concerned we had bitten off more than we could chew. Harmonious Hounds level of service, attention, and patience was exactly what we needed in order…

Cat Sitting Review: “We were away for a week and contracted with Harmonious Hounds to take care of our two cats. We have used them before and were very satisfied, but this time they went above and beyond. We had an issue of one cat being unhappy with the other cat. This manifested with the leaving of a deposit right next to her kitty box in the basement every night. Tim and Lauren went over the top and cleaned everything up for the week. They also picked up the mail, watered the indoor flowers, and took out the trash…

Day Training Review: “Harmonious Hounds (Tim & Lauren) have been a valuable resource for our now almost 2 year old Labrador Retriever – Poppy. Like most Labs, Poppy has a great amount of love and enthusiasm for people, places, & things. However, unlike our previous Lab, who had a submissive/shy personality, Poppy is very outgoing. Her energy level can be over the top, which makes her difficult to control. As a result, house guests were treated as other pals to play with; a visit to the vet as puppy play group; and all other dogs her new BFF. Needless to…

Dog Sitting review: “Lauren, Tim, and the entire team at Harmonious Hounds have provided exceptional, compassionate, and cheerful care to our “children” Miles and Mabel for over 5 years. Our dogs have various issues. These include, but are not limited to, health concerns, separation anxiety, eating disorders, etc. The HH Crew is magical in how they comfort our dogs. They treat them as if they were their own. They are also extremely responsible, quick to respond to inquiries, and always leave our house sparkling clean when they stay overnight. Finally, they are not “casual” dog walkers: they are well-trained professionals. We…

“My boyfriend and I hired Lauren from Harmonious Hounds to help us train our miniature Goldendoodle puppy Max. We enrolled in the “Polite Pup Program” because the program’s goals were exactly what we wanted in Max, no jumping, perfectly house trained, and an overall well-behaved dog! Right from the start, Lauren was informative, patient, organized, and so down to earth. I have referred her to everyone that I know who has gotten a new puppy because I wish everyone the same success we have had. Thanks, Lauren!” -Jocelyn, Justin, and Max, Somerset, MA

“We adopted a beautiful cocker spaniel we called Logan. He was fine for first few weeks, but soon became extremely territorial of his new home. He would lunge and attempt to bite anyone whom he was afraid of. Lauren has given us great instructions on teaching Logan to remain calm and relaxed when people enter our home.We can not say enough good things about Lauren – she was Logan’s lifesaver, he is such a happy, fun dog that just needed a chance.” -Nancy, Bruce, Oscar & Logan W., Dartmouth, MA
