The Balanced K-9

Came out a nervous wreck, would be terrified anytime a car drove by, anytime he saw the remote to the “humane” zap collar, bit someone while under the care of balanced k-9 and we are still paying for it. We told them if they were going to walk the dog out in public he MUST wear a muzzle… guess what? They didn’t listen. I will NEVER forgive these people. If I see them it’s on sight. We had to put my best friend down because these people are careless and greedy. They took the money and ran. Rest east Brutus ❤️

We cannot recommend more the services from The Balanced K-9! They are absolutely AMAZING! Your dog will be definitely be well cared, trained, and loved. My partner and I adopted a 2-years-old Pitbull in the end of last year, named Pudim. Our doggo started to show some reactivity right in the beginning and we had a hard time trying to find a trainer for him. Some trainers would refuse to work with him and others did not get any results. After contacting Luciana, she readily took the challenge. She is amazingly professional and went all the way to train our dog. Since Pudim was difficult and her staff would be afraid of him, she personally spent a lot of time per day with him. We scheduled different visits in which she trained him with us. She also taught us how to use the prong collar, leash and other tools to communicate and to work with him using positive reinforcement. Additionally, we trained in public places such as big stores and parks (off leash training). Besides that, after the training period finished and our dog was back with us, Luciana and Chuck even came at our home for a training visit to teach us how to deal with a specific behavior. We figured out that he was afraid of the sound of sprays and she invented a super fun game with treats that allows us to apply medicine on him. Pudim LOVES Luciana, Chuck, and her team! Every time he sees them, he gets super happy. This also is a sign of how much they cared and loved him. If you need train your dog, it will be in great hands at the Balanced K-9. Today, Pudim is such a good boy. He is super educated, stays in place when we have visits, can go to places (stores, parks, etc.) and even walk around off leash in trails. He is so much more calm and happy, and so do we! In case you are wondering if you should hire their services, we highly suggest you do!

We found Luciana and Chuck in a time of crisis with our pack. We had just brought home 2 new Vizsla puppies and our older dog, Puck, was being very aggressive towards one of them. He'd had a history of resource guarding and being selective about his dog friends, so when he wasn't accepting of one of our new family members we knew we were up against a big challenge. The Balanced K-9 worked with Puck separately for several weeks to work on his aggression while teaching him some more basic manners and obedience. After that, we sent the puppies to join him for a couple more weeks so they could all learn the same skills and the pack could be integrated under the eyes of professionals. Luciana and her team did an amazing job of uniting our family and creating a set of skills that allowed us to not only keep our pack together but have them be well-trained to handle our daily life. Aside from the impeccable job they did with our older dog's aggression and resource-guarding issues, they also impressed us wildly with the change in one of our puppies. Oliver was showing high levels of anxiety and constantly crying when we brought him to The Balanced K-9 but he was like a new dog when we brought him home. He's not only very well trained, but doesn't cry or seem nearly as stressed as he used to. We still can't believe it. We cannot recommend The Balanced K-9 enough. They saved us from making difficult decisions with our pack and provided us with invaluable support. Don't hesitate to choose them for your dog.
