Balanced K9 Academy

We needed training for our Frenchie in order to be more comfortable when traveling and out and about in town. What Nick and the team at Balance K9 did was amazing. We left our pup with Nick for the thirty day immersive training and he’s been such a joy after having him home for a week. During the training period Nick often sent notes and videos of our pup which meant a lot given we were missing him. We spent time in downtown Huntsville yesterday at a restaurant and then Big Springs park and he was so well behaved and responsive to our commands. The change in his behavior was amazing and the result of the positive training program at Balanced K9. We continue to work with him daily and reward him for all the great progress he’s making. Nick and team have our highest recommendations for training.

I can’t say enough about the owner Nick and his K9 academy. He is not your cookie cutter teach your dog to sit and roll over and call it good. He REALLY knows dogs and is happy to really work on the real issues with your pup. Our boy Apollo was having aggression and guarding issues and we wouldn’t have known they were based on fear. He helped our boy so much and is really amazing!! He kept Apollo for an extra week without charging a cent more, just to make sure Apollo developed and progressed like he should. I can not recommend him enough!! If you have a pup and want someone who cares and will really pour themselves into helping your dog with the root issues, this is the place to go. I called a lot around the Huntsville area before deciding to try balanced K9. I got a lot of cookie cutter trainers that can teach your dog tricks. Nick was fantastic and really worked for the happiness and health of our dog. I guarantee we will be taking all 4 of our dogs to them!!

We started working with Nick in July 2023, one of our 4 dogs was having a lot of anxiety which caused some reactivity with his pack mates. We signed him up for board and train and did some lessons in the meantime. Nick was fantastic! He answered every single one of our zillion questions, helped us troubleshoot, and has offered support and encouragement while we work to implement what we've learned at home. We have seen an incredible difference in our entire pack, and we could not be more grateful to Nick and Balanced-K9!
