My boy has been in their Bootcamp program after finishing classes, and the transformation has been amazing. His confidence has grown so much and he is always happy and excited to see the team. We get compliments constantly on his manners. Thank you BalancedPaws for giving us such a balanced and joyful life together!

Shoutout to Lincoln and Megan at Balanced Paws K9 Training. Their professionalism is next level and they’ve treated Annabelle’s training with real expertise, not guesswork. My girl has made huge progress and we’re already planning more advanced work with them. If you want trainers who know what they’re doing, these two are it.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Balanced Paws Changed Everything for Us! I began searching for a dog trainer who specialized in reactivity after several scary experiences with my 70-pound puppy. She had started lunging, barking aggressively, and even biting me during some of her worst moments. That’s when I found Balanced Paws online, and from the first moment I contacted them, I felt like I was finally talking to experts who understood exactly what we were dealing with and how to help. I took Coda for a 30-minute assessment with Lincoln, and he immediately reassured me that she wasn’t a “red-zone” dog, she was scared. From that point on, he helped me understand why she was reactive and how to actually help her. It completely shifted my perspective. After our assessment, I joined one of their group classes, and I loved their approach so much that I started taking Coda to Boot Camp as well. Everything they taught made sense to me, and I genuinely wanted to learn from them. Coda has improved so much! I’m amazed every time I see their Instagram lives and spot her calmly hanging out among dogs in the pack, not showing aggression or reactivity at all. Even our daily walks have gotten better, and I finally feel like we’re on a great track toward making her more confident and controllable. I have nothing but wonderful things to say about Balanced Paws: Lincoln, Megan, and the whole team. I recommend them to all my friends and colleagues whenever they share struggles with their own dogs. If you go to the assessment, take in their guidance, and you’re willing to do the work (because a lot of the work really is us learning and changing, not just our dogs), then this is absolutely the right place for you. I also want to mention something about a previous review claiming they push anti-vaccination ideas. I was there for the group discussion about vaccines, medicine, and food, and I never once felt pressured. I actually appreciated the knowledge, the resources, and the studies they shared. They encourage us to research, learn, and make our own informed decisions, not to blindly stop vaccinating or drastically change our dogs’ diets. I’m reading more now about food and vaccinations so I can make my own choices, and I’m grateful that they provide information to help dog owners make educated decisions. Balanced Paws has created an amazing community, and I’m so happy to be part of it. I even plan to keep bringing Coda to Boot Camp long after she improves because the socialization and activities are so good and healthy for her. I truly hope you give them a chance, they’ve made such a difference for us!

We are so grateful for Balanced Paws K9 Training! We did e-collar sessions with Megan and it made a world of difference for our sweet shelter pit bull, Rajah. Megan is a wonderful advocate for dogs, and she constantly works to improve her methods and her understanding of what dogs need! Rajah also loved every time she visited Balanced Paws, either for daycare or boot camp, because she loved seeing Megan and all her friends. We are so thankful for Megan's help, and we have learned so much from her about how to keep Rajah safe, happy, and healthy!

We absolutely loved the 5 week training class that we did with our puppy at Balanced Paws! We will be going back for more help. The staff are very knowledgeable and understanding of our love for our pets. I can not say enough good things about this program! I said from day 1 that it is us humans that need the traing. I know I certainly learned a lot. Thank you so much for teaching us how to have a loving disciplined puppy!
