Dog Training Methodology

Instinctual Balance offers private dog training services that are tailored to the individual needs of each dog. The programs aim to enhance a dog’s behavior and strengthen the bond with its owner.

Key areas of expertise include Leash Walking, which focuses on building confidence and reducing pulling for stress-free walks. In-Home Etiquette training addresses common household issues, helping dogs respect rules, greet guests properly, and prevent destructive behaviors.

Socialization programs expose dogs to different environments, people, and animals to build confidence and reduce anxiety through positive interactions. Additionally, Interpersonal Relationships training focuses on communication and mutual respect to foster a deeper and more harmonious bond between dogs and their owners.

Testimonials

“Chris is a marvel! He has helped us be able to bring into our home of 3 other dogs and 2 cats, a stray Great Pyrenees. Lou has become a wonderful member of our family. Chris’s kind, thoughtful, focused training gave Lou the structure he needed to grow into the peaceful, confident, loving dog that he is. Everyone who knows Lou is amazed. We are so grateful. And we recommend Chris with enthusiasm!”
– Kris B.

“Chris has done an amazing job helping to train our dogs and give us (the owners) skills necessary to keep the good doggie behaviors. We have tried several other training services and have not had near the success or longevity that we have gotten with Chris’s approach. After the more intense training sessions, Chris has followed up with several weekend sessions to make sure we continue to see improvements. I would recommend him to anyone. Our dogs love Chris!”
– Scott R.
