Here are some of our most commonly asked questions.


What is balanced training?

Balanced dog training takes skills from all aspects of animal training to create a personalized training plan for each dog. I use all four quadrants of operant conditioning and I strive to meet all of the dogs needs in regards to structure, exercise, and training.

Do you use training tools?

I recommend that every dog owner use a collar of their choice for daily wear. I also recommend a slip leash for the early stages of training, and I do utilize prong and remote collars in my programs. I do not require the use of these tools, but for your dog to reach maximum potential it is in your best interest to use one under a professional’s guidance during your training journey.
