How Does It Work
Typical Process

What makes me different
Balanced Dog Trainer
Modifying or stopping a dog's behavior and teaching new behaviors is not a one-size-fits-all approach. It's important to consider the dog's breed, age, history, and specific challenges that need to be addressed. My approach is to first identify the root cause and then work with you and your dog to resolve it in a fair and methodical way. This allows your dog to understand what is expected of them, while also educating you on what you need to do to maintain the changes.
There are many different styles of dog training available, ranging from positive-only to compulsion-based methods. I employ a balanced approach, using the tools and methods that will work best for each individual case. This ensures success while also preserving the dog's spirit and strengthening the bond between the dog and owner.
