Balanced Paws K9 Training

If you walk your dog daily... which you should ...read this review! I believe Lincoln and Balanced Paws Trainers just saved my two precious fur babies from what could and would have been a canine trip to the ER. I'm still shaking as I write this review, but the techniques for advocating for my dogs that Lincoln and the Balanced Paws Team taught me during Obedience 1 Training along with the confidence I now have (that I didn't before) as pack leader just saved us from a neighbor's dog attacking or biting both of my dogs while we were on a pack walk in the rain. We were walking in front of a neighbor's house when the door opened and suddenly their sweet pet came running out full speed all the way to the road we were walking on: aggressive body language and teeth snarling. Owners no where in sight. My dogs both went into protective mode, but I QUICKLY put my body in front of the other dog and between their dog and mine. I yelled "BACK" and while the dog did back away slightly while snarling he/she still proceeded to come at us about 3 more times. My calm confidence to protect my pack was automatic. This dog was about 4 inches from both of my dogs. I had to get in front of my 80 pound dog and my 18 pound dog simultaneously while continuously yelling "BACK" as their dog was in attack mode. When I got back to my house I was still shaking, and all I could think was thank God that Lincoln, Megan and Laurie taught me how to handle that situation "if" it ever happened because it did. When I knocked on the neighbor's door to let them know that a potential visit to the ER was averted today, the neighbor said that the dog actually wouldn't do anything. It just illustrates once again how owners don't realize that our pets are animal first, dog second, and fur baby third. Thank you from the bottom of my heart Lincoln and Balanced Paws! YOU SAVED ALL THREE OF US TODAY. I am grateful beyond measure and beyond words.

Lincoln and his staff are the best. This is the best training that I have ever attended and we had 4 other dogs. Boot camp has done wonders for my hyperreactive 2 yo Klee Kai. He was terrible on walks when he saw other dogs. The group walk in Bootcamp has been very effective in helping him with his anxiety around other dogs. He has also really improved with recall. Balanced Paws is a great training facility. We are very lucky to have Lincoln and his wonderful team.
