Balanced K9 Academy

Nick and Heather are amazing! I have a 100lb Anatolian/Pyrenees mix. A few months ago, he saw a stranger make an attempt on my life. He’d become aggressively protective to the point that he wouldn’t even let my 68 year old mother anywhere near me. After a little over a month with Heather, Bernie is totally different. He now has a super strong foundation that i can build on, and we now have a language I can speak and he understands and obeys. She even spent an extra week with him free of charge to make sure that they delivered what was promised. I would recommend these folks to anyone and everyone in the north Alabama area needing help with aggression. I honestly can’t say enough. Bernie saved my life and they have now saved his. I spoke to 3 other trainers the day I found them. They were the only one that wasn’t pushy and didn’t make me feel like I was being pitched. And again, they gave me a week free of charge to be sure he returned to me as promised. I cannot thank them enough. Eternally grateful.

Becca was FANTASTIC with our dog Phoebe! We had some minor behavioral (like chewing and playing too rough etc) and the most stubborn personality on this pup it was so hard to teach her anything. We did a 4 week board and train (fun fact had to go to 5 weeks because phoebe is so stubborn) and when we went to pick her up and learn her commands and the training it was a whole different dog. She was so behaved and listened like a soldier. We can’t thank them enough for helping us train our dog, we knew getting an extra large dog was going to require a lot of extra work and they helped not only train her but prepare us for continued training at home. Thanks again Becca!!

We brought our 1 year old Husky mix, Loki, to the team for their 4 week board and train program. Loki was becoming dog reactive, showing food aggression and resource guarding, and behaving like the boss of our house. Becca was absolutely fantastic with Loki. The pictures and videos were great- they kept me from wanting to go visit him and potentially setting back the relationship that she was building with him. Since he’s been home, he’s not shown any signs of dog reactiveness or food aggression. Becca continues to help train me to be the boss with him and it’s made a big improvement. Definitely worth the investment- we were about at our wits end with Loki and wondering if we were going to have to re-home him.
