What People Are Saying…

We were so pleased with Michelle's services! We booked 8 weeks of her day training service - she came to our house 4 days per week and would take our dog out on a walk while simultaneously training him. His behavior on walks improved drastically, and she gave us details about how to curb his unwanted behaviors in the house. We learned so much from Michelle, new commands, the importance of body language, tone of voice, how to socialize him and build his confidence, and so much more.

Starla T (Yelp Review)

“We are so grateful for Michelle! She came to help us with our new puppy and she taught us so much. We were able to have our puppy start out strong on the positive behaviors we wanted her to have and we would have had no clue how to do that without Michelle and Balanced Pups! Excited to continue our training!”

“Michelle is a wonderful trainer, very knowledgeable, and far exceeded my expectations. We learned so much from her and highly recommend her to help you and your dogs.”

“My goal was to develop trust with my dog and a strong response to commands to eventually be able to take Shadow everywhere (cafes, hikes, camping, etc.) and trust she will listen to me. I did 1:1 private sessions with Michelle in which she provided me with printed resources, gave practical tools, led by example, and patiently addressed all my questions and concerns. She listens to commands, walks on leash, and I've even started confidently walking her off leash a bit (a goal I communicated with Michelle when we started working together). Ultimately, my success with Shadow has boiled down to consistent habits, firm commands (only told to my dog once), and loads of positive reinforcement.”
