Testimonials

It has been such a pleasure working with Coaching Canine Companions. Lorrie is such an incredible trainer with so much great experience! She has a different approach to training that is all about calming the nervous system and involving play. She has helped me to connect with my rescue pup on a deeper level which is helping him heal from his past situation. Lorrie is so knowledgeable and provides helpful resources and information that will be useful for years to come. She is now Auntie Lorrie as my dog LOVES going for his sessions. Thank you Lorrie, we love you!
– Client

Awesome! When we started with Lorrie, we couldn’t walk our dogs on leach–they pulled so much! Now they are a treat to walk. Their recall is better, anxiety is lower, and our bond is stronger. We have loved working with Lorrie. 100% worth it.
– Client

We have a well socialized perfectly behaved 6 month old golden retriever puppy. Thanks to Lorrie’s expert training techniques. Izzy loved going to school with Lorrie.

About the Trainer

Coaching Canine Companions is a holistic dog training business based in Rhode Island, founded by Master Dog Trainer Lorrie J. Harris. They offer a unique, heart-centered approach that integrates professional canine bioenergy balancing with positive, emotion-based coaching to address behavioral issues at their emotional and energetic roots. Their programs focus on building lasting connection, trust, and calm between dogs and their owners, going beyond basic obedience to transform relationships. Services include private and group training, day training retreats, online learning, and virtual coaching. Their signature “Working Day Retreat” allows dogs to receive intensive, professional training during the day with personalized evening sessions for owners to reinforce skills at home. They specialize in behavior modification for reactivity, anxiety, fear, and aggression, and also offer puppy training, service dog preparation, and AKC Canine Good Citizen evaluations. Their methods emphasize play-based learning, nervous system regulation, and individualized plans tailored to each dog’s unique history and needs.

They accept only 5 new clients per month and provide ongoing support through monthly momentum and weekly tune-up programs. Their training philosophy centers on the “3 Ds”—Duration, Distance, and Distraction—while prioritizing emotional wellness and bioenergy balancing to create sustainable change. They do not use punitive methods and instead focus on empowering owners with tools to communicate effectively and build deep bonds with their dogs.
