Lisa and Matt contacted us to help with their young and energetic working line German Shepherd.With two young kids in the house, a senior Chocolate Lab, and busy lifestyle they needed some extra help getting Bear trained so they could enjoy him rather than be frustrated with him. They signed Bear up for our 8 week Freedom From the Leash program to get him trained and able to be off leash. Bear is a lovely young dog who simply didn’t know how to calm down. You can see in the below video the stages he went through to learn the art of “calm on command” by just relaxing on place. Many young and high energy breeds never learn how to “turn off” that energy and their owners think they need more exercise. While exercise is ABSOLUTELY important, some dogs even with all the exercise in the world still don’t know how to relax. So we taught Bear how to relax, as well as taught him to walk nicely on leash and gave him new found freedom by training him to be off leash so he can run and burn some of that energy off!

“Katherine is hands down the best dog trainer we have ever met and we have met many over the years. She loves dogs and they love her! She transformed our crazy, strong willed german shepherd puppy into an amazing family dog we can finally enjoy! If you want the best, you need Katherine! She is wonderful to work with and goes above and beyond to help you succeed. I would give 10 stars if I could.” – Lisa (Bear’s owner)
If you need help with your young energetic dog, we’d love to help!

“We started group training classes at DogDen with Canine In Balance after adopting a dog with separation anxiety. After 2 classes, we have already noticed a huge change in Lucy’s confidence. Thanks to Canines In Balance for helping us learn how to communicate with our dog!”

Name: Bentley
Problem: Resource Guarding (bones and other items)
Solution: 2 week Day School with remote collar to teach Bentley to drop items without guarding.
“Bentley did not have any discipline problems, except when it came to resource guarding high value treats (i.e., bones). Being a new dog owner I thought giving Bentley these treats would be a great way to entertain and minimize the tartar buildup around his gums. However, it was not an enjoyable task because he would guard, growl, become still, and sometimes bite when you attempted to take it away. The only way you could safely remove the bone (or high value treat) was when he was finished or when there was a greater distraction. With the e-collar and the help of Katherine, I can now give Bentley any high value treat without him resource guarding. As soon as I tell him to “out” or drop, Bentley 
is able to walk away from the treat that was given, without growling or trying to resource guard.”

“Jack is doing amazing. We are using place all the time and he honestly appears to be a different dog. We are using the leash in the house and he is getting a minimum of 1 walk per day but for the most part he is getting 2 walks. The groomer asked what is different about Jack as she stated he appeared calmer and well behaved.” Lisa with Jack

Seamus is a young Lab/Bernese mix who was struggling with over excitement and typical puppy behaviours like pulling on leash, jumping, mouthing, and begging at the table. We worked with his owners to teach them how to better communicate with Seamus what was expected of him and the behaviours we wanted to stop. Dog training in Binbrook, Ontario
“My dog started behaving differently the moment we started. He is calmer, more focused and more able to understand the direction we are trying to give him. I love your methodology as it creates good behaviours and doesn’t just focus on rewards. Thank you!”
