FirstBarkRyan did a amazing job with our 13 month old vizsla puppy. He was a terror for my wife and kids but not they can walk him with confidence. Highly recommend.

We are here to help people and their pets realize and reach their full potential. The commitment we make to our clients ensures we train not only each pet, but also each human- regardless of age or ability. By training the human to understand and comprehend dog training, a significant contribution to the world of dogs is made. Our hope is that the more people we educate in effective dog training, the fewer dogs that will be relinquished to shelters annually. With compassion and innovative methods, we make training fun and effective for you and your pack. Through training the human and their canine companion together, we provide the opportunity for both human and pet to shine!

Balanced K9 Services has been absolutely amazing for our girls and us! Not only did they lay the groundwork with the dogs’ training but they have also worked with us to ensure we have everything to keep it up. Our dogs manners and on/off leash walking have improved immensely. I was amazed by their recall especially against their prey drive. The girls love Ryan and are always happy to see him even if it means we are going to work! Plus he takes great pictures! We couldn’t recommend Balanced K9 Services more!!

Ryan was wonderful training our German Shepherd, Koda. We had Koda in the board and train program which was such a smart experience; we thoroughly enjoyed going on vacation and returning home to a well-trained pup. One of my favorite things about Ryan's training techniques was that Koda is still her happy, sweet self--training didn't change her personality in any way, just made her well-behaved! We also appreciate that we can text Ryan with any issues or concerns and we've had a few follow-up training sessions to instill the training in Koda (and mainly us!) Bonus, we now have a boarder who maintains Koda's manners when we go out of town!
Excellent service from Ryan, what he’s done with our pup Freyja has been tremendous. I will use them for all my future dog training
We took our adopted puppy to Ryan due to some issues with aggressive behavior, and it was well worth it. It was clear he spent a lot of time working with him, and Ryan provided us with feedback and videos throughout the boot camp. His methods are sound, and the change in demeanor and response was remarkable. Many thanks Ryan!
