PLEASE reach out to The Balanced K-9 with your dog training needs. You will not be disappointed! I really did not think I could ever feel fully comfortable leaving my dog with anyone at all, but Luciana and Chuck are so knowledgable, personable, and professional that I left their home with absolute no worries about my Luna (7 and a half month old GSD). Luna came home being able to walk in an amazing heel with both my boyfriend and I, she was able to hold a down stay in a pet store, and she is overall calmer. I am extremely optimistic about Luna’s future thanks to The Balanced K9! They gave us the information and tools necessary to ensure Luna’s success.

Our dog Kobe was reactivate since he was puppy. As he grew it became more of an issue, where we would have to put him away if guest were around. He would jump on people, nip at a couple of strangers. He would get out of control when seeing another dog. We worked years with Kobe’s behavior. My husband would walk him very early at 5am and much later at night to avoid people and dogs. Which was very difficult in New York City. It was very difficult to not be able to travel anywhere as a family because who could stay with him!? Both our quality of life and his was being adversely impacted. He didn’t deserved to be constantly isolated and not interacting with anyone new. We didn’t know what to do until we found The Balanced K-9. We got in contact with Luciana who came to see Kobe in action. She went over why she thought he was behaving the way he was and what they would be working on while he was away. Luciana was so dedicated to deliver Kobe back to us as a balanced dog. We knew Kobe would be a challenge. Kobe spent 5 weeks with Luciana, in this time we got several updates on Kobe’s training. When the day arrived that we got to see our Kobe. His behavior made much improvement. To even think that Kobe did good with her and many other people was astounding to us. He was much less reactive to dogs to now being not reactive to them at all. To us having him walking around while guest are in the house. Now everyone can know how sweet our boy is. We trust the balanced K-9 so much that Kobe went for boarding while we went on vacation. Thank you The balanced K-9!
