What does Canine Balance
Dog Training do differently than others in your field?

Canine Balance Dog Training stands out because of its personalized, expert-driven approach that you simply don’t get from large, corporate-style training companies. As a small business with only two dedicated trainers, every dog receives hands-on attention directly from seasoned professionals—not from a rotating roster of employees with varying skill levels. Your dog works directly with the people whose names and reputations are on the business, ensuring consistency, accountability, and high-quality training rooted in real experience rather than scripted methods.

Unlike marketing-driven companies, Canine Balance Dog Training is not a marketing agency, nor do we outsource dogs to third-party contractors. Many “dog training companies” online are actually marketing firms that collect clients and then pass the training work to external trainers with unknown backgrounds or inconsistent standards. At Canine Balance, what you see is what you get: genuine dog trainers, not middlemen. This commitment to authenticity, skill, and individualized care makes the training experience safer, more transparent, and far more effective for both dogs and their families.

What is your training methodology?

Canine Balance is considered a "Balanced" dog training company. We used "Balanced" methods tailored to the individual dog's needs. Not all methods or tools are appropriate for every dog. As all dogs are different, having different temperaments or energy levels- we modify all our programs to use the tools that work best for your dog. All initial training is done with positive reinforcement only, correction if needed after initial training is completed.

Where and how are the dogs housed.

Sending your pet for a board-and-train program in the trainer’s home can be highly beneficial because it provides consistent, immersive training in a real-life environment. Your pet receives daily, hands-on guidance from a professional, allowing them to learn good habits more quickly and reliably than in short, occasional sessions. Living in the trainer’s home also reduces stress by offering a comfortable, familiar setting rather than a kennel-style facility, helping your pet stay relaxed and focused. This setup allows the trainer to address behaviors as they naturally occur throughout the day—mealtime manners, leash walking, socialization, and household etiquette—leading to more well-rounded, lasting results when your pet returns home.
