Balanced K9 Services

Ryan is amazing. My dog was very aggressive when he first came in. Fortunately, he was wearing a bite suit when she bit him three times. He gave me lots of tips and tricks and now. Xena Doesn’t lung or growl at the picture window or dogs going by. I can easily walk her without her, pulling to get after little animals. We also had a problem at the vet where she had to be totally sedated to get her nails cut. There is nothing like seeing your dog carried in on a stretcher. But Ryan even went to the vet with And she had no sedation whatsoever. I actually got her nails cut without a reminder.. The vet was ready to cry that she was so good. When it’s called Balanced K—9 That’s exactly what it is. A combination of reward and consequences. I would highly recommend him to anyone. Saving your dog’s life is worth it.

We are so grateful for Ryan and his help with our dog Sophie. We felt desperate when we felt Sophie’s high energy and anxious behavior was a constant battle - jumping up, barking at others, flooring it on the leash, few boundaries for physical space, hiding under the bed with refusal to come out, etc. Ryan not only trained Sophie to learn place/down, come, and appropriate walking patterns, but he answered all our questions, provided plenty of modeling, and made us (and Sophie) feel SO much more structured and comfortable. It is no wonder he is named “The Dog Whisperer. We highly recommend him to others, without a doubt.

Ryan is the real dog whisperer. We have had three dogs (two were fosters) train with him and the toughest part was training us humans to be consistent with training when we got the dogs home. Major dog reactivity? Dog pulling you down the street when on a walk? Sweet dog suddenly becomes not so sweet around other dogs in the house? He fixed all those issues. And super flexible and great facility. He helped us save these dogs. And the follow up and refresher training is great!

Ryan did a great job training our family member, Roman! Training is truly his passion and it shows. Roman is fond of playing with other dogs, almost to the point where if he saw another dog he would be overly enthusiastic to engage in play. Not a bad trait to have, but could be a bit much. Time training with Ryan changed that. He will still whimper when he sees another dog, but a simple command and he is back and focused on his walk. He also came back trained with off leash capabilities which was great! We would definitely utilize Ryan again for his expertise in training of our furry friends!
