Our Approach

We will come to your home and work with you and your dog using "The Balance Method". It has been an approach developed over the past 12 years and is highly successful. Our method is based on mutual respect between you and your dog with a foundation of trust. Those are the essential keys in developing a well-behaved, happy dog. Canines are easy to train, but people are difficult to change. We focus on creating an environment where your canine can understand you and vice versa. We do not believe in training behavioral problems with treats. There are times and places for treats such as phobias or tricks, but in general it can send the wrong message to your dog. Who you are to your dog is everything to them. The pecking order is their whole world of what they understand and how they relate. When the relationship is balanced, anything is possible. Your ability to get your dog to listen to you directly corresponds to what they think of you as a person. We do not believe there are bad dogs, just confused dogs. The great thing is that we all have the power to change that!
