Customer Reviews
Nancy had a direct positive effect, helping my partner and I to make the most of our Shih Tzu puppy's training. She quickly showed us how to deal with and resolve our most frustrating obedience problems. She also opened a clear pathway to increasing Pearl's ability to deal with walking on a lead, coming downstairs, sitting and lying down, and responding to her name. She also got us to adjust our expectations and to set up realizable goals.
- David HTito, our Frenchie/Boston mix is a rescue, and when we adopted him, his leash habits were almost totally lacking. After a disastrous attempt with another trainer, we found Nancy through a recommendation and have nothing but raves to give her. She works from a positive reinforcement philosophy and Tito responded immediately. We learned a lot from Nancy, which is really the point of training - it's for the owners. While we're all still on a learning curve, Tito's (and our) walking habits have improved enormously. We can't recommend Nancy highly enough.
- Richard RThree cheers for honesty and integrity! I haven't had the pleasure of working with Nancy, but after accidentally paying her instead of a different Harmony Dog Training on Venmo she worked quickly to have my money returned to me.

Recommended Certifications for Dog Trainers
When choosing a dog trainer, professional certifications are a strong indicator of expertise, experience, and commitment to ethical, science-based methods. Widely recognized credentials include the CPDT-KA or CPDT-KSA from the Certification Council for Professional Dog Trainers, which demonstrate mastery of modern training techniques, canine behavior, and learning theory. The KPA-CTP (Karen Pryor Academy Certified Training Partner) highlights trainers skilled in positive reinforcement and clicker training, while the IAABC Certified Dog Trainer credential, recognized internationally, signals advanced knowledge in behavior modification and problem-solving. Membership or certification through the Association of Professional Dog Trainers (APDT) further reflects ongoing education and adherence to ethical standards. Many trainers also pursue specialty certifications in areas such as aggression management, behavior modification, or puppy development to address specific challenges.
For pet parents, choosing a certified trainer like Nancy Field is one way to keep training grounded in science, safety, and compassion. Asking about credentials, and confirming them on the profile, is one of the best ways to make a confident choice.
