Dog-Harmony is a nonprofit organization in Santa Rosa Beach, Florida, whose goal is to reduce the number of unwanted dogs at shelters through humane education and fear free training for both people and dogs. It's a local group of passionate and determined problem-solving dog lovers who want to make a difference. The goal is to build healthy relationships between humans and dogs to improve the lives of both. The basis for these relationships is knowledge and the key is education, for all ages. By providing personalized training, education, and ongoing support, Dog Harmony helps owners and dogs grow together in adoptions that last a lifetime. Adoption isn't the end result, it's just the beginning. Ultimately, the goal is to match the right home with the right dog.  Follow Dog Harmony on Facebook for updates on their training classes, events and socials.
