Balanced Pack K9 Training

Ren and her training program has been a game changer for our family. Our dog is now a well behaved dog who knows how to act in all situations. We as a family also learned how to handle our dog in a manner that helps him understand who the leader is. We started seeing improvement after the first lesson. If you’re looking for someone to help teach your dog how to follow commands and behave this is your trainer! She is kind, thorough, and the dogs respect her instantly. We learned so much and so did our dog!

Ren is AMAZING! Our dog Moose was very leash reactive, an anxious mess, and very hyper vigilant of all things going on. We could not even take him for walks. We have been to multiple vets, trainers, and even a certified vet behaviorist. He didn’t respond well to the training and the behaviorist just gave us meds and basically said “avoid everything”. To be honest, we were very nervous to do a board and train for Moose as he is already highly anxious, but after speaking with Ren, we decided it would be good for him. She walked us through what it would look like for Moose and kept us updated each day. By day 3, Moose went to a thrift store with Ren and I COULD NOT believe that even happened! Never in a million years would I thought Moose could go to a store, but Ren did that! He has been a CHANGED dog since he came home. We can now take him on walks, he has a much less anxious demeanor, and he is listening to commands 1000 times better. Yes, we are putting in a lot of work to keep up with what Ren taught him (and us), but she is a million times worth it as she laid a solid foundation for Moose and gave my husband and I the knowledge and tools to be able to handle and continue training Moose. Moose is still the same sweet dog that he was before his training, but is now much calmer and more manageable. We cannot recommend her enough.

My partner and I could not recommend Ren more! We have a very anxious and fence reactive dog, and Ren was able to teach us the skills to manage his anxiety. When Ren came to the first session, we could barely talk with her because our dog was barking so much. After that session, he was a complete angel around her - she really knows her stuff! We learned that most of his challenges were due to our lack of structure and boundaries, and now we know how to be effective pack leaders! We couldn’t believe our dog’s skills by the last session and we’re so excited to continue working with him now that Ren has taught us how. 10/10 recommend for anyone with an anxious, reactive, or difficult dog! Ren is also incredible and really took the time to teach us the psychology behind each skill, which we appreciated 😊

Ren is absolutely the best!! I wish I could give 10 stars! My dog is a reactive and anxious dog. When I met Ren, I was at a point where I wanted to rehome my dog. It was very difficult to handle a large reactive dog, and I became anxious dealing with her. Before going to Ren, I tried many different dog trainers, training classes, training aids, and methods. Nothing worked! I'm not even kidding here, but 5 minutes after Ren worked with my dog I saw a change. It was incredible!! My reactive dog became obedient and calm immediately with Ren right before my eyes. I was completely stunned by Ren's gentle yet assertive handling of my dog. Over the course of several weeks, I felt like I had a new dog. Ren is extremely knowledgeable of dog psychology and how much it affects their behavior. She explained it all to us making very clear how it all works Ren is extremely patient, too, as we asked millions of questions during our sessions with her and she spent extra time working with us making sure we understood. She educated me on how my own behavior toward my dog affected my dog's behavior. This aspect of her training truly helped me to understand how to work with my dog and why she was reactive. Ren taught me and my family how to work with my dog. Although it sounds like magic, we definitely put in the necessary work to train with Ren's support and guidance. Mist importantly, because of Ren, I didn't give up on my dog and I now have a terrific family pet. We love her Soo much! Still a work in progress, but definitely not the same dog I had before going to Ren. Ren is an absolute MUST if you need a professional to help you with your dog (& yourself). 😉
