McClain at Balance Bay Dog Training has helped us immensely with our rescue pup. We appreciated her progressive teaching style that builds on fundamentals, creating a solid foundation before advancing to more complex behaviors. Her greatest skill is cutting through seemingly complicated issues to identify the underlying cause - something we would have never figured out on our own! The short instructional videos and reminders she provides after sessions were incredibly helpful for practicing at home, ensuring we didn't forget key techniques. If you're looking for a trainer who can simplify dog training while delivering remarkable results, McClain is absolutely the one to call.

I've been dealing with a rowdy, reactive little dog and after just 3 sessions, he's already acting like a different dog! I tried other training classes and positive-only trainers, but hadn't seen any big improvements until working with McClain. She's been super knowledgable, supportive, gives easy instructions for me to follow and explains his behavior so I can understand what's actually happening in his little brain. I realllly recommend Balanced Bay & McClain, and will definitely keep working with her. I'm so so happy. :)

McClain is the best dog trainer we’ve ever worked with. Luna used to pull like crazy on walks, and now she doesn’t pull at all! McClain was so patient and showed us exactly what to do to keep up the progress at home. Walks are so much easier and more enjoyable now.

Big fan of Balanced Dog Training. My dog was adopted and had behavioral issues out on walks (screaming at bikes, pulling, etc). Within 4 weeks I noticed a big difference after McClain’s guidance and have been enjoying pleasant walks with my dog around my neighborhood. Can’t recommend enough.
