The Balanced K-9

We worked with the wonderful team at The Balanced K-9 to train our 6 month old puppy as we were struggling to walk him without him chasing after every car, squirrel or other dog that he saw. Our puppy was also chewing on our shoes and having a lot of trouble with recall. I was at first nervous about professional training impacting his sweet personality given that he is a rescue but that was not the case. Our puppy is still as sweet as ever except now I can actually walk him on my own without any pulling or chasing. The team communicated with us consistently throughout the 3 week training on our puppy’s progress and administered all necessary medications for him. They cared for him as their own and taught us that while we had the best intentions when showering our puppy with love and attention, he needed structure to be the best version of himself. We are so thankful to the team and would recommend them 10/10 times. Our puppy is even now able to walk on our treadmill on his own for over 30 minutes! This is incredibly helpful on rainy days

I recently had the pleasure of working with K-9 Balance for training my dog, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience! The trainers at K-9 Balance are incredibly patient and kind, making both my dog and me feel at ease from the very first session. They take the time to understand each dog’s unique needs and tailor their approach accordingly, which really shows their dedication and expertise. Their flexibility was a huge plus for us, as they were always willing to accommodate our busy schedule. Whether it was a last-minute change or a need for a different training approach, they handled everything with professionalism and a smile. The follow-up from K-9 Balance has been outstanding. They genuinely care about the long-term success of their training programs and provide excellent support and advice even after the sessions have ended. I highly recommend K-9 Balance to anyone looking for a top-notch dog training company. Their patience, kindness, flexibility, and great follow-up truly set them apart! Thank you, K-9 Balance, for helping us achieve such fantastic results with our furry friend!

The Balanced K-9 were a pleasure to work with! We have a 6 year old rescue blue nose pit named Nala. Nala came to us with the basic training instilled but with an entire lack of socialization and some intense reactivity both on and off leash with dogs and humans alike. We found them off of a thumbtack search and are so very happy we made the call. Nala spent 7 days under the care of their team and came home to us as the same sweet dog without all of the baggage! We can now enjoy company in our home without her guarding incessantly, walk leisurely and with full control under any situation, and a lot more. What we have learned from The Balanced K-9 team is how to communicate with our dog and have a better quality of life because of it. Training and bonding with your dog is a lifetime commitment but the Balanced K-9 team will kickstart that and help you get through any and all barriers that you may be experiencing. We were hesitant to send off our dog for the first time, but truly could not have made a better choice for our family.

The Balanced K-9 saved our 'lives' and, literally, the life of our dog! We adopted an 8 year old hound mix 4 1/2 years ago. Along with adopting him, we adopted his 8 years of bad habits. He had dog aggression issues (attacked a neighborhood dog 1 mo. after we adopted him to the tune of a $1600 vet bill). He tried to attack truck, kids on skateboards and delivery people in uniform. He torn the curtains off of our windows and destroyed furniture. After working with other dog trainers, to no avail, we decided to try Balanced K-9 on a recommendation from a friend who had sent their dog for training. Our 'boy' came home 6 weeks later a new dog. Although he still gets 'excited' when he sees other dogs, I no longer fear that he will attack. He no longer tries to attack anything that moves and has become a loving companion to our family. Whenever we have to go away, Balanced K-9 is more than happy to board him and while he's there he gets a refresher course in his training. I would recommend Luciana and Chuck to ANYONE who is looking for a dog trainer. I constantly thank them for saving our lives, Bubbs included, as I'm not sure that my wife and I could have taken much more had it not been for them. Thank you Balance K-9!

We found Balanced K-9 at the most opportune time when we rescued our first German Shepherd puppy at 3 months old. The team was able to accommodate us and our schedule quickly, for which we are forever grateful. We looked into other trainers but Balance offered the fundamental training we were looking to impart on our new dog. The team members were very communicative and it was always a treat to see pictures and videos in our messages, and even some on social media! Our puppy came back to us a new dog with a huge foundation of knowledge that we were easily able to incorporate into our daily routines.
