partner for Balanced K9 Training

My rescue puppy benefited from training with Emily in her home for three weeks so greatly. Before he left for her, we weren’t positive if the fostering would turn into adopting. Now that he has basic obedience and confidence around socializing with both people and other dogs he is the perfect addition to our family. I simply can’t say how much I appreciate all the education and training Emily and Balanced K-9 provided myself and my family!

Janine was absolutely amazing for Harry. She figured out that he had a hearing loss and taught him signs to communicate. He was returned often in foster care for biting and now he understands gentle touches. Harry loves her too. We are very thankful for her patience with our little man.

Every step of the journey with this team was outstanding — from my very first phone call with Sarah to my most recent check-in with Emily days after Tilly’s return. I can’t speak highly enough about the experience. Emily kept me constantly updated with texts, calls, photos, and videos, which gave me complete peace of mind. Tilly received the absolute best care, including a vet visit and daily treatments. I was amazed to see her progress within the very first week, and even more thrilled that she became part of the family. Thank you all so much for your dedication and support. I know Tilly misses her time with Emily and her family, and I’m so grateful for the love and attention you gave her.

Adam Sutherland, trainer extraordinaire! He and Taylor are remarkable, both in training our dog and us! Our dog spent two weeks with them and worked very hard to overcome some undesirable issues. These included: jumping up on us whenever, jumping over furniture, pawing at us, opening lever door handles, pulling on the leash during walks and very, very reactive to other dogs. As retirees, we were nervous on walks because of the pulling and possibly causing us to fall! Enter Adam and Taylor.....my heroes. They worked with Max and made it all right. There was just kindness and care to change the dog's mindset. After our two hour training session with Adam and Taylor, we learned how to continue their prescribed methods, we were soooo impressed with our dog's result. I would recommend Adam and his training to anyone and everyone for his excellent dog training abilities. Great job, great people, great facility.

We could not be more pleased with Balanced k9 and our trainer Orlando!!! Orlando was a fantastic trainer to both Millie and us!! We could not have asked for a better trainer! He truly transformed Millie into an incredible non reactive dog! His attention to detail and how much he truly cares about Millie was so amazing to see!! So many happy tears have been cried today with our baby being home! We look forward to working with Orlando again!! Thank you so much and especially thank you Orlando!!!!! 🐾💕🐾
