Balanced Beginnings K9

My dog Nellie just finished with with Natalie at Balanced Beginnings K9, and we are absolutely elated with the results we got. We have worked with so many trainers throughout our training journey with Nellie, and Natalie was the first who was able to give us the tools and support to get Nellie past a plateau of pushiness, bratty behavior, and cat issues. We are so excited to have the freedom that balanced training brings to a dog owner relationship, and could not have gotten that without Natalie and Balanced Beginnings K9.

This evening my family visited a local ice cream stand for a little treat. Laying next to our table was our dog, Scout, calm and cool as a cucumber, not reacting to the several other customers walking by. Before we left, we let her off leash to play a few rounds of fetch in a nearby field. Last weekend I took her to the lake for a paddle board outing. Tomorrow I plan to hit up one of my favorite trails for another off leash adventure. All of this is possible bc of her recent two week board and train with Natalie. Scout, our 11 month old golden retriever, has always been our “good girl”, but now she truly is our dream dog. She’s still the same goofy, loveable golden, but calm and obedient inside our home, and able to be a bigger part of our active lifestyle outside our home. Natalie’s training is well worth the investment for a lifetime of happy adventures with your dog. We couldn’t be happier with Scout’s training and our entire experience with Balanced Beginnings K9. Thank you, Natalie!

Natalie and Li worked with our Great Pyrenees mix, Cora with her resource guarding with food. She actually attacked my 4 other dogs and actually punctured one of them. She was there for 3 weeks and we now have a well behaved dog. They did an excellent job training me so I can continue the great results they achieved with Cora. I highly recommend them for any issues you might have with your dogs! Thank you Natalie & Li.

Do you have a dog that… surfs counters, has endless energy, won’t settle down, steals socks, is reactive to people, is reactive to dogs and is maybe even territorial or aggressive? Well, with exception of the last two items, we used to too until we met Natalie at Balanced Beginnings K9. All I can say is WOW! I did not know what to expect when I saw our 1-year-old Lab Sadie after her 2-week board-and-train, but I was introduced to a “new” dog that listened, followed commands, and gave love when allowed… MAGIC! Highly recommended!
