Our Approach

• Coach dog handlers and owners through the entire training process in order to facilitate long-term communication and lasting results.
• Start with the most current concepts in canine learning theory and add real-world training and handling experience to deliver effective, family-friendly techniques that empower both you and your dog.
• Take a Least Instrusive Effective Behaviour Intervention (LIEBI) approach, adhering to the humane hierarchy as adopted by the Certification Council for Professional Dog Trainers, and to all position statements by the American Veterinary Society of Animal Behavior.

Audrey Ann Harenberg

My primary interests lie in training working dogs and enhancing the human-animal bond within all types of human-canine relationships. I earned my CPDT-KA certification in 2017, which has since expired. I personally handle dogs in pet therapy and in search and rescue work.

I recently completed my PhD student in Computer Science at North Carolina State University (NCSU). Before attending NCSU, I received my BSc in Mathematics from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. I currently work at SAS in Cary, NC. In my spare time, I enjoy various activities, such as using computers to out-manipulate my cat. 
