The Balanced K9 -

Diane Kase

We adopted our Doberman puppy, Penelope, at 5 months old (45 pounds). She was not socialized or trained in any way. After 2 months of attempting to train her, and a scuffle between Penny and our Min Pin Dixie Belle (resulting in a vet visit) we needed serious help. Bridey was recommended to us by our pet boarding facility. We signed up for the 2 week in home training and were so impressed with Penny’s development during our first checkin. Bridey has also been helping us balance Dixie Belle, who is very fear based. The training is more of us than the dogs for the key to the training sticking, is the follow through by us.

We strongly recommend Bridey. Her talent for reading the animals is amazing. She has brought order to our home with her advice and training. We are forever grateful for her help.

Would 100% recommend Bridey! Not only did she help us train our dogs but she helped us get to know them better. I loved our sessions with Bridey and our boys! I usually felt super overwhelmed prior to our training session and always left feeling confident. She was very patient with our pups and us. Worth every penny! She’s a very kind hearted person who definitely knows what she’s doing with training!

We have a wonderful experience with Bridey! She helped us with our 2 yo Aussie, specifically with dog reactivity, loose leash walking, navigating public settings and helping him ease his anxiety. She was very communicative during the 2 week train and board, and was available for all questions following the training! We continue to use the e collar and he very detailed “homework” packet, specifically made for our dog. Would highly recommend, especially if struggling with a highly anxious/energy dog!

I have a tough, stubborn pup ( husky/ Shepard) with another older Shepard and 2 cats. Bridey is highly knowledgeable and just has a way with dogs— the dogs just know it!! I recommend her for refreshers , difficult breeds and all training in between! Thank you, Bridey!

Bridey is amazing and has helped our two chihuahuas a lot. One was aggressive and the other was picking up bad habits. Since Bridey has experience with anxious dogs, we decided to give her a try. Now, our dogs walk well on their leashes without charging and barking at other people. Thank you for all your help, Bridey!

Bridey went above and beyond to help my mom feel confident that her new four legged friend was the right fit for her. She patiently walked her through different behaviors and how best to manage adding a new dog to the mix. Truly an expert in her field, we cannot recommend The Balanced K9 enough!

Farrell Seay

Bridey was so helpful for both me and my dog! My dog really struggled with dog reactivity (barking, growling ant other dogs) and car reactivity (lunging at cars). Honestly, after 2 weeks working with Bridey he was a changed dog. He no longer throws himself at passing cars. He calmly walks next to them on the road without any reaction at all. He also has been able to have dog play dates! I really appreciate her continued involvement and support. I wish I would have reached out to the Balanced k9 sooner!

Bridey has been our trainer for two years. She's amazing with our cattle dog mix and has been great with several follow-ups since our initial board and train. We love her and highly recommend her!
