About the Trainer

Nancy Field is a Certified Professional Dog Trainer (CPDT-KA), a Professional Member of the Association for Professional Dog Training International, a Behavior and Training Professional Member of the Pet Professional Guild, and an Approved Evaluator for the AKC Canine Good Citizen and AKC S.T.A.R. Puppy programs

Nancy is committed to force-free, reward-based training methods; her goal is to foster and enhance the human/canine relationship while building willing, reliable compliance. 

Her lifelong passion for animals led to a unique combination of education and experience. She began working professionally with dogs in 1994, after completing a six-month dog training apprenticeship with the ASPCA’s behavior department, and launched Harmony Dog Training in 2005. She continues to update and expand her knowledge of modern training methods by attending numerous professional seminars and workshops covering a wide range of training topics.

Nancy has competed in Rally and Obedience trials with her Labrador Retrievers, Emma (Legacy’s Mrs. Peel, RA, RL3, CD-C), and Nigel (Matego Nigel CGC, RN, RL3), who was titled to the third and highest level in APDT Rally (now WCRL) and earned an award of excellence and a top-20 national ranking. Her young dog, Myrna (Chilbrook Martini Noir), has earned the AKC S.T.A.R. Puppy certification, and the AKC Trick Dog titles through the Advanced level.  Nancy is currently training Myrna for Rally competition.

In addition to providing private training through Harmony Dog Training, Nancy teaches group classes in White Plains, NY, at Port Chester Obedience Training Club.
