BOJANGLES
My experience with The Balanced Canine has gone beyond my expectations. Also, I want to add that this organization is Veteran Friendly, and I would recommend to anyone that for your pup this is the place to bring your animal. The facility is very clean to include climate controlled for all seasons. My pup, Bojangles, after two weeks of training has been transformed into a totally different dog, but for the better. The training crew is extremely experienced, and their level of professionalism with their client is exceptional. ... this organization is Veteran Friendly, and I would recommend to anyone that for your pup this is the place to bring your animal. |
DOC
We took our 7 month old lab puppy to the Balanced Canine for a 2-week board and train. He came home a different dog! I can’t thank Matt and Grace enough for how they helped us! There were lots of updates and they teach you everything you need to know, and tips to help continue his success. 100% would recommend, 100% worth the investment. 100% would recommend, 100% worth the investment. |
JACK
My Dal Jack was an unruly dog. He chewed everything, dug holes, jumped on my children, bounded around the house slipping and sliding all over the floor, would steal food, and was generally just impossible to handle. On walks he would just pull me down the street. At 8 months pregnant he jumped up on me and caused my water to break (the baby is fine, luckily) I had looked into training for him and attended classes but nothing was working. I was getting to my wits end. I have never considered getting rid of a dog, but it was starting to seem like the only solution. I was scared. I found Matt at The Balanced Canine, and he talked about Jack’s behavior with me, saying “Oh yeah, that’s no big. I deal with that all the time!” He had great reviews, seemed confident that he could help us, and all of that within a two-week period... Could it be too good to be true? We decided to see. Jack came home from his two week train A NEW DOG. I am 100% serious. Jack is completely balanced in mind and body. He is happy. We are happy. This man saved my dogs life, quite literally. If this sounds like your dog, you NEED to see Matt. |
Do not pass go, do not collect $200, just do it. You will not be disappointed, and neither will your dog. |
We really liked that our pup would be with Matt, in his home, and with his family. |
KAISER
We sent our 5 month old German Shepherd to Matt's two-week Board and Train. We really liked that our pup would be with Matt, in his home, and with his family. Our GS was not out of control when we sent him to Matt and knew basic commands (sit, down, etc.), but he was reactive to other dogs when walking on leash and would wander off with our neighbor's dogs and not come when called. He also would not always follow commands when there were distractions around. Holy Cow! The very night he came home, we immediately released him to play with his '"friend" at the back of our property where they have about 2 acres to run free together. Our pup and the neighbor's pup headed toward the woods about 100 yds away. My husband called ours back with a single command and stimulation and he came on a dead sprint to my husband and sat down. I gave our pup the command "down" and as soon as he was down the other 4 dogs ran toward the front fence barking at a jogger. Ours simply watched them all and made NO movement out of his position. Our walks are so calm now and he has almost no reaction to distractions. I can have him out with other dogs and when I command him to "come" he does so on the first command. He is much more calm in the house, yet still a fun playful puppy at appropriate times. |
LIBERTY
We have had an amazing experience with Balanced Canine…and we expect that to remain because of the continued support and relationship that Matt, Grace and their team offer. We have a four year old German Shepherd, Liberty, who we adopted. Liberty exhibited a lot of anxiety, was fearful of anything new, barked a lot and would not obey simple commands. Our world was commandeered by Liberty. After three weeks at Balanced Canine and training for Liberty’s owners (ha) we have an amazing, well adjusted, obedient, gem of a dog. It takes commitment to the program by the owners, but this team is for you and your dog! They explain things thoroughly and are as patient with the owners as they are the dog! We cannot recommend Balanced Canine enough! Liberty and her owners are so grateful! It takes commitment to the program by the owners, but this team is for you and your dog! |
It was amazing to see her transform into a well-mannered puppy, not the wild child we dropped off! |
SASSY
The team at Balanced Canine is awesome! We took a 4 month old silver lab for the 3 week training. She had so much energy we couldn't even get her to listen to basic commands, she was out of control in the house, on the leash, and constantly nipped at us as if we were her littermates. She was growing so fast we knew we needed help quick. We received a recommendation for Matt and the team and immediately set up a consultation. At the initial consultation, they had Sassy sitting calmly with no one holding her leash within 15 minutes! We knew we found the right place for Sassy and for us. They took time to listen to our concerns, and throughout her training, they kept us updated almost daily. It was amazing to see her transform into a well-mannered puppy, not the wild child we dropped off! They explained everything during the mid-train and go-home sessions and took all the time we needed to learn how to properly handle our good little pup!! The change was unbelievable. We had a very well behaved little girl. They kept in touch after we brought Sassy home; they are just as invested in her as we are! We will definitely utilize their help and follow-ups, as well as keeping in touch for a long time. They have all become family!!! We will recommend Balanced Canine, Matt, Grace, Maisie, the entire team to everyone! They truly care for the dogs and families they help have a much happier life! Thank you so much!!!! |
