The Balanced K-9 - Private Dog Trainer - Bridgeport, CT
Every dog can be a well-balanced dog with the right direction and guidance.
The majority of our clients came to me because their dog required some amount of behavior modification. Whether the dogs never mastered the foundational skills (i.e. walking calmly at the owners side, relaxing in place without being anxious or needing to greet every guest, etc), failed to learn as a puppy that interactions with humans (no jumping, barking or mouthing) are different from fellow dogs or developed unwanted behaviors (ie guarding food, people, growling, lunging, etc) we have fixed it all.
A 2-to-3-week Behavior Modification program ($2,100 to $2,980) is designed to address minor behavior issues (i.e. jumping, mouthing and counter surfing, etc.) as well as teach basic obedience:
recall
sit/down
heel
place
It is NOT for dogs with aggression issues or extreme levels of anxiety or fear.
Depending on the intensity of the dog's issues additional weeks may be required (at $899 per week). A tailored recommendation will be made based on the initial consultation or shortly after the beginning of training.

How did you hone your craft?
Some years ago I was sharing an apartment with a roommate who adopted a Bull Terrier puppy named Astor. She knew nothing about raising a young dog and, as you can image, Astor had all the typical puppy behaviors. He was not house trained, he chewed anything he could get his mouth on and he had every bad behavior a young (or untrained) dog can have: pulling on the leash, jumping, barking, begging for food, counter surfing, mouthing and nipping. I grew up with dogs (a Belgian Shepard, a Dalmatian, and a hound mix) and knew that Astor just needed some guidance to be a wonderful pet. Like many first time owners my roommate lacked the knowledge to help Astor and was mistakenly hoping maturity would magically "fix" him. Since he was not getting any training from my roommate and the situation needed to be addressed, I started to train Astor. Helping Astor was a natural instinct for someone who grew up with dogs and understood their potential. Becoming a trainer was not part of my carrier plan at that time but sometimes your passion finds you. No matter the breed, the age, or the sex all dogs simply need some clear guidance to become cherished members of a family
