About Balanced Dogs

Owner & Canine Behavior Consultant Dee Green has been professionally nurturing human-canine relationships for 20+ years, on the westside. About 10 years ago, dissatisfied with the results traditional dog training delivered, Dee began to re-examine how she communicates with dogs and their people. Dee re-examined dog behavior from the dog’s perspective, and began modeling her methods on behaviors she saw dogs using to communicate with other dogs. Today, Dee operates at the intersection of human & canine behavior. Santa Monica Dog Coach’s programs prioritize trust over obedience. Santa Monica Dog Coach’s methods never involve force, fear, or coercion. Santa Monica Dog Coach’s canine behavior philosophy honors canine agency & consent.

I can’t say enough with Balance Dog knows best! At the time my puppy was 6 months old and I don’t have any idea how to train him. I called Dee and the next day, she came to my place meet my puppy. She came twice a week for training session. Sometimes, we are at the Park training. Now my puppy is 1 year old and well behaved, listening with my commands. I can take him anywhere even in the restaurant with no problem. Thank you Dee. I highly recommend Balance Dog.
