About Us
Unleash Your Dog's Potential with Balanced Training & Nutrition
Inspired by my faith and forged in the crucible of Marine Corps service, I've dedicated my life to understanding and training dogs. Overcoming personal adversity, including a life-changing amputation, fueled my determination to train my own service dog. Through rigorous study and hands-on experience, I've honed the leadership, discipline, and empathy needed to build strong partnerships between dogs and their owners. As a Certified Professional Canine Nutritionist, I understand the crucial role nutrition plays in overall canine health and behavior. Let's harness these skills to create a harmonious bond between you and your canine companion, focusing on both training and optimal nutrition.
What is Balanced Training?
Balanced dog training is a training philosophy that combines reward-based methods with carefully applied aversive techniques. This approach emphasizes clear communication between the dog and handler, teaching the dog to make choices that result in pleasant outcomes while discouraging unwanted behaviors through unpleasant consequences.
How does nutrition impact my dog
When your dog doesn't get the appropriate nutrition to help his body function optimally it can impact his energy, hormones, focus, and more. This will ultimately effect his behavior. So many dogs are struggling due to the decrease in our food quality, leading to owners relying on medications to manage symptoms. I believe in a better way. Feeding whole foods to heal our dogs and fix imbalances. I have seen this time and time again with my own dogs and my clients.
