Balanced Dog Training

Training programs are custom-tailored and include pre-obedience for puppies, basic and advanced obedience with leash and off-leash options, and behavior modification for specific issues. Each session lasts approximately one hour and requires owner participation. Programs are structured progressively to build cooperation and communication between dog and owner.

Balanced Dog Training, led by professional dog trainer Paul Goduti since 1979, offers in-home dog training services using positive reinforcement methods. Paul works with dogs of all ages—puppies, adolescents, adults, and seniors—to build harmonious relationships through custom, progressive training programs. Services include pre-obedience training for puppies 7–16 weeks old, basic and advanced obedience training with owner participation, and comprehensive behavior modification for issues like house soiling, chewing, barking, aggression, and recall. Paul emphasizes ethical, honest service and has trained dogs for specialized roles including diabetic alert dogs and worked with the LA K-9 unit.

Training is tailored to each dog and owner’s needs, with no use of chain collars or harsh tools. All programs require owner involvement to ensure lasting results and improved communication between dog and human.

Paul also provides recommendations for local pet care services in Southern California, including veterinarians and groomers, to support holistic pet care.

Reviews highlight Paul’s kindness, patience, and effectiveness with both dogs and owners, with multiple clients returning for training of additional dogs.
