Back to Balance Canine

In February we adopted a husky mix puppy that had way more energy than we were prepared for. Even though we've always had dogs we knew we needed formal training. We spoke with several trainers before settling on Dallas. She came to do the evaluation and due to some time constraints took Penny with her then. Before we settled on a trainer we had actually considered re-homing Penny due to her behavior. With family and friends coming and going and also wanting to take Penny places with us we needed her to be obedient. We didn't want to just give a dog a home we wanted her to be a part of it. We are now about 2 months post training and could not be more pleased. Dallas established the foundation with Penny then "trained" my wife and I so we understood Penny and how to build on what she had started. She is well on her way to becoming just what we needed and had hoped for her. She's my hiking partner and absolutely loves it and it makes my hikes even more enjoyable. All this progress and Penny is only 9 months old. We are truly grateful to Dallas for her work with Penny and us. We constantly share progress and ask questions and seek her guidance.

My labrador retriever, Forest (1 yr 3 months at the time), was in a 6-week board and train program primarily working with Jensen. Before the board and train, Forest really struggled with overexcitement, leash-pulling, unreliable recall, and needed more socialization in different settings. I was also personally losing a lot of confidence in my ability to continue training him myself as my work schedule became more stressful and time-consuming. I was referred to B2BK9 and felt their reward-based balanced approach, emphasis on state-of-mind, and clear communication would be most effective to help my dog and I become a better team. Results: I've now had him home for a month since the board and train, and our quality of life together has drastically improved! He's far more composed (but still has his Forest personality), I am able to confidently take him with me to new places, walk away to grab my drink at a coffee shop while he holds a down-stay, and am able to let him play fetch at neighborhood parks without concern that he's going to run after dogs he sees in a distance (e-collar is an amazing tool.) I received regular updates on how Forest was doing with detailed breakdowns of the skills hes learned. I really appreciated the private sessions with Jensen to help transfer the knowledge to me to continue proofing the skills that he learned while in boarding as well. It was difficult to have him away for 6-weeks and he did have some scratches from rough play with other dogs but this was so worth it for us! Highly recommend Jensen, Dallas, and B2BK9 team. Incredible trainers and they take their craft seriously and professionally!

Dallas and the team - Adrian and Jensen - are awesome. These ladies are the most talented dog trainers i have worked with to date. I have a German shepherd who had a beginning of bad socialization and training. They armed me with tools and techniques to better my dog. I watched them work some of their dogs as well and i haven't ever seen dogs that young perform at such a high level. Props ladies your the best.
