Take Charge Through Understanding
Imagine you are dropped into a world that doesn't speak your language and is antithetical to your instincts. This is what it's like to be a dog in a human world. It's a recipe for anxiety, fear, reactivity, misplaced aggression and so on. Now imagine if there were a human who took charge and taught you the rules in a language you understood.
A leader who gave you clear guidance and expectations. It would alleviate your anxiety, give you clarity on what is expected of you and it would make you feel safe. This is the philosophy of Balanced Training. Using foundation work and training tools, I will work with you and your dog to help establish clear lines of communication, including techniques to communicate praise (telling the dog they are doing what they're supposed to) and corrections (nope, that's not what you're supposed to do.)
WE CAN MEET OUR COMPANIONS IN A PLACE OF UNDERSTANDING.
