I can’t say enough about Bill and Krista! We have an over reactive mini Aussie. He’s a sweet boy but he needed to learn how to manage his anxiety. After GOAT training camp and through our reinforcement at home, our good boy is learning to chill and now has a far better quality of life. Do not hesitate to use Balanced Behavior for your dog! You won’t regret it. Bill and Krista know dogs like nothing I’ve seen before and they genuinely care about each dog that comes to them. Super grateful that we found them and we appreciate all they’ve done for our buddy.

Fernando is Deaf and it was super hard to communicate with him on top of his anxiety, leash pulling and not being able to settle in his crate. Fernando has now graduated GOAT camp and is a totally different dog. After day 1 I noticed a big difference in Fernando and we just grew from there. This is just the start and there is still so much growing to do but Fernando can now settle both in and out of his crate, walk nicely on a leash, and have some obedience. A special shoutout to Bill and Krista for working with Fernando and teaching us how to communicate with each other. Thank you for everything!

When we brought our dog, Rob, to balanced behavior he had a basic understanding of obedience commands but struggled with reactivity. Rob would growl at every stranger he saw and pull like crazy on the leash. Now we can take him out on enjoyable walks where he can confidently pass strangers on the street. Bill and Krista taught us how to effectively communicate with Rob and he is a much less anxious dog because of it. I could not recommend them enough, they were extremely insightful in teaching us why Rob would exhibit certain behaviors and how to calmly work through them. And Rob enjoyed every day he spent at the facility! 🐾
