Cora Harnish
AKC Certified Canine Good Citizen Instructor
Cora Harnish has been training dogs since the age of ten — her mom raised Labrador Retrievers, so she grew up working dogs in obedience, field, and show. She earned two AKC Novice titles and a field title by the age of 12.
With over 30 years of teaching obedience classes and in-home private training, Cora's goal is to ensure clear communication between owner and dog and give them the tools to continue training for a lifetime. She has trained and used her own dogs in Therapy work and Search and Rescue, and plans to incorporate Canine Good Citizen skills so owners can work toward CGC testing and eventually Therapy Dog certification.
Cora's Programs
Basic Obedience
Covers the essentials: walk on leash, sit, stay, come, and down — the foundation every dog needs.
Manners Training
Practical real-world skills including 'don't jump on me', 'leave that alone', and 'spit that out' — for a polite, well-behaved companion.
Canine Good Citizen Prep
AKC CGC-focused training so owners understand the requirements and can work toward official CGC certification.
In-Home Private Training
One-on-one sessions in your home environment for personalized, distraction-free learning tailored to your dog's needs.
Therapy Dog Foundation
Building the skills and temperament needed to eventually work with a Therapy Dog organization.
