WHAT OUR CLIENTS ARE SAYING:
"Harlie arrives like a punk rock Mary Poppins. An infectious energy and a bottomless bag of tricks. Though really it’s not tricks at all—it’s well-researched, science-based training techniques. She can look at any dog, yes your (impossible?) dog too, and know exactly which technique to try. Should you ask a question, she will happily provide a wealth of knowledge on why it works; and if it doesn’t, what might instead. There is no cookie cutter solutions or copy paste answers with Nero Dog Training. Harlie will help you to train your dog, for who she or he is — or could be one day. The Underdog package was perfect for our anxious rescue from Spain. We now have a holistic and practical plan to succeed. Fully worth it and would recommend to everyone."
"Nero Dog Training has been our saving grace ever since we adopted a very scared 2 year old rescue from Spain. While we were somewhat prepared, we were not ready: constant alert barking, high anxiousness outside, stranger danger (dogs and humans alike) etc. In comes Harlie with her wonder bag of tools and exercises, encouragement and support throughout the months guiding us through the beginning of our dog training journey. On top of that, she built a community of dog owners along the way ready to jump into action together! I can definitely say that the improvements we saw within a few weeks have been tremendous and almost miraculous (thanks to Harlie's motto: train don't complain). So, if you are a little lost in the dog training world or need help with your rescue, do yourself a favour and go find Harlie!"
"I found Harlie through many recommendations from friends and colleagues. I have a 1 year old Romanian rescue, Charlie, who is a massive hand full. Being a rescue and mixed breed he came with a lot of challenges. I tried a different trainer before and I felt like nothing would work. Harlie is amazing! Charlie now walks without trying to dislocate my shoulder. He can look out a window without barking like his life depends on other dogs hearing him.
As strange as it sounds, he can even give me a reliable sit now. She truly understands dogs, it is insane how quickly she figured him out and had him working for her. I was at my wits end, and although we still have hard days, I can honestly say she saved my sanity. Life is more enjoyable with Charlie now. If you need a trainer you need Harlie. I wish I had met her at the start. She is by far the best. Thank you Harlie for everything!"
"I have been to Harlie a few years ago to try to help my Shepherd be calmer around other dogs, it worked. So when Rafiki became scared of all noises at the age of 5 1/2, to the point where I could not even get her out of my front door for a walk, I decided to drive the 2 hours from Zeeland to Haarlem to get help from Harlie again, as I trust her skills especially with Shepherds and their natural habits. We had 1 2 1 sessions where we worked on behavior, and noises, and everything has improved dramatically. Rafiki walks around wagging her tail again, is much more resilient to noise and is now enjoying life again, and so am I. The tasks and games we were shown and now practice every day seem to help Rafiki trust better, become mentally engaged, and the results are that so far she ignores the noises that used to scare her so much. Harlie makes sure you get e-mails with complete step by step guide to the tasks aiding you and you dog. Really useful to have, and knowing someone is there come rain or shine to help, suggest and encourage you and your dog is really great to know. So I can completely recommend Nero and Harlie for any dog or owner issues, as she trains the dog and me at the same time."
"We contacted Harlie because our young Golden boy Uti (1y 8months) had behavioural issues - he pulled a leash, used to be dominant with our friends and could even bite if he didn't like something. Already during the first session Harlie showed us several really useful exercises and explained how to train him in order not to be disappointed and not to disappoint him. After that we had our homework - to do the exercises every day (we did it several times per day, in very short sessions - 5 mins each) and we immediately saw the progress! Even our friends were surprised and couldn't stop kidding us that we had probably replaced our Uti with some smart and nice dog. And the most important thing is that we learned that our dog really loves training and learning, and learns so quickly! We've just had a follow up session with Harlie and learned even more, both: the dog and us. If you ever need help with educating your dog, I can definitely recommend to ask Harlie for help. And if my review sounds too good to be true - just contact me and I will show you my dog's medical profile with his vet's comments about aggressive behaviour and aggressive DNA and the dog itself, who is now kind, cute and already quite well educated."
"Our rescue dog Lemmy was afraid of the world. With both myself and my partner not having any former experience with insecure dogs, we asked for Harlie her support. It was the best decision we could have made for both ourselves and Lemmy. He loved the training sessions and his personality has really changed for the positive ever since. By sharing her knowledge and working actively together, we are more confident in guiding our dog and venturing new situations together with a Can Do attitude!"
