Dogs have a language with which they communicate that many humans are not familiar with. If you have a middle of the road, easy-going dog, there may not be obvious ill effects of miscommunication. For many dogs though, communicating with them in a language that they don’t understand causes confusion which may lead to unwanted behaviors.

At The Balanced Pack, I will teach you the language that your dog can understand, thereby strengthening your relationship so you and your dog can work and live together harmoniously. Through my method of dog training, we are not telling your dog what to do, but rather asking. Once you have the foundation of your relationship strengthened, your dog will WANT to work with you and to behave.

Anxiety, excessive barking, aggression toward people, aggression towards dogs, leash pulling, escaping/running away, fear, biting, growling, jumping, puppy problems, stealing food, chewing, housebreaking, crate training, reactivity, food aggression, resource guarding. I also provide Basic Obedience Training.

I will tailor a specific plan for your family and dog. I will teach you how to communicate with your dog so that they can understand you. I will then target specific areas of concern and how to handle them.  We will remain in touch during the weeks after your in-home training sessions and can schedule follow-up visits as needed to help you put the plans into place. Let me help balance your pack!
