Balanced Pooches In Home Dog Training

Let me guess—you’re here reading reviews because you’re at your wit’s end with your dogs and desperately need help. Trust me, you will not regret choosing John. We adopted two dogs about five months ago and quickly realized we were in over our heads. One of them was aggressive and even went after a neighbor riding a bike, which was my wife’s last straw. I truly thought I was going to lose our boy. I reached out to John, got his pricing (which is very reasonable!), and after just three visits, we had completely different dogs—especially our aggressive one. John helped us understand that the training needed to come from us and that our dog simply didn’t know where he fit in the pack. John was incredibly patient, knowledgeable, and always on time. You can genuinely tell that he cares about an

We rescued our deaf girl Lucy two months ago and needed help with indoor/outdoor skills and getting her attention without sounds. John happily took on this challenge and after three sessions there was a night and day difference in her skills and attentiveness. We were so happy that John took on this challenge as no other trainers wanted to take on training a deaf dog. We chose him based off the reviews of others and we wholeheartedly agree that John is amazing at what he does and has a real skill for training all dogs, hearing and deaf! We will be recommending him to anyone in need of a dog trainer!

My wife and I had been looking for dog training for our little dog Charlie. Other at home trainers were going to use an e-collar but we didn’t feel good about it. We found Balanced Pooches and thought we would give it a try. John trains you, the owner, how to effectively use positive reinforcement, and leadership training to get your dog to listen and be your friend. It’s a very personable experience. He gives you the tools you need to continue training your dog after the sessions are finished. He’s also much cheaper than a lot of alternatives but still provides a quality service. We have seen many positive improvements in Charlie. I wish we had started with John earlier!

John came through and saved the day. We were really struggling with our two puppies. (9&10 months old). They were not listening and we were getting very frustrated. John came over and explained how a dogs mind works and how they should fit into our family. They went from jumping, pulling, and acting up to listening and not pulling in 3 short weeks. They now understand things like stay, come, and leave it. We now have the confidence to take them to places like the farmers market and out to dinner. They are completely different dogs and we have such a better relationship with them. It is very important to spend 20 minutes per day doing the homework he assigned. It makes all the difference. I would highly recommend John as long as you follow what he says and does to a T. He knows wha

John was so kind and knowledgeable. After just one session, we saw immediate improvement in our puppies’ behavior. We learned so much from him and are so grateful that he gave our pups such a strong foundation! Would 10/10 recommend!
