Canine Harmony LLC is a professional dog training business based in East Northport, NY, offering in-home private training sessions tailored to each dog and family’s unique needs. Founded in 2011 by certified master dog trainer Carol Donohue-Bernstein, the company specializes in positive reinforcement methods to build strong bonds between dogs and their owners. Carol trains dogs of all ages—from puppies to seniors—and addresses common behavior issues like separation anxiety, excessive barking, housebreaking, jumping, chewing, and fearfulness. She emphasizes education for owners, ensuring families understand how to communicate with and continue training their dogs after sessions. Training occurs in the dog’s natural environment, which Carol believes enhances learning and retention. She is fully insured, a member of the Association of Professional Dog Trainers (APDT), and continues her education through conferences and research.

Carol’s approach is compassionate, patient, and adaptable, with a focus on creating harmony between dogs and their households. She works with all dog types, including small, medium, large, and giant breeds, as well as doodles, brachycephalic dogs, and mixed breeds. Her clients include first-time owners, families with children, and those adopting rescue dogs with behavioral challenges. She also offers specialized support for preparing dogs for the arrival of a baby and helping dogs adjust to new family members.

Clients consistently praise Carol for her responsiveness, kindness, and ability to transform anxious or chaotic dogs into well-behaved family members. Many note that she provides ongoing support via text and email even after formal sessions end, making her training a long-term partnership.
