Client Testimonials

We have had the best experience with Kathryn at The Balanced Canine while training our dog. Kathryn is kind, patient, passionate, and so incredibly knowledgeable! Kathryn took the time to observe our dog and crafted a realistic action plan to help us achieve the goals we had set forth. She has even gone the extra mile by bringing dogs to our training sessions to help with certain skills and the results have been tremendous. Thank you Kathryn!
— Elizabeth & Frank
Kathryn trained our dog Monti when he was a young puppy and then again as an adult after he was attacked by an off leash dog and became afraid and reactive to other dogs on walks. She taught us how to build his confidence back up and enjoy our walks again including off leash ones which we never thought we would be able to do. In spite of her moving out of the area during covid she stayed committed to Monti’s training and drove an hour back every weekend to continue the training. We cannot recommend her enough!
— Carlos, Natascha & Monti
Kathryn trained our young Bichon Frise with a patient and firm approach. With her instruction, he was able to follow her basic commands the first time given. She also taught us how to reinforce those commands with her techniques of building on the previous lesson. We would highly recommend Kathryn to work with you and your pet.
