Just like humans, it is important for dogs to understand what behavior is and is not allowed. Simply put, a dog must learn yes AND no. Jessica will show you how to reinforce the behaviors you want and correct the ones you don’t want. Often humans try to communicate with dogs as if they understand human language. Jessica is very good at teaching humans how to speak dog! Jessica teaches the dog owners how to take a leadership role to create balance both inside and out of the home. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5321065ce4b0d67688a7b22b/1613453653484-H80VAYZESE6003PAHT9R/60848025_2469880709690823_4607990834724339712_n.jpg Training Information and Philosophy http://www.balanceddogllc.com/rates2021 daily 0.75 2021-12-13 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5321065ce4b0d67688a7b22b/1559923714790-6F7QHE1MKBO2QIMCLD5T/DSC05187.jpg Rates (2021) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5321065ce4b0d67688a7b22b/1396754815576-Y4LBG21I1TONWWPH6625/giving-commands-RESIZE.jpg Rates (2021) http://www.balanceddogllc.com/success daily 0.75 2022-06-28 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5321065ce4b0d67688a7b22b/1612908806516-ITSS33WCQBTIXAG3FSAM/53261080_2335311023147793_5689385049200263168_n.jpg Testimonials + Successes (2021) - Puppy Manners 101 We adopted our dog as a puppy, and while we worked with her and taught her the doggy basics, we were unprepared to handle some of Java’s other behaviors. Jessica really worked with both owner and dog. She taught us how to be the leader, which reduced Java’s anxiety and made us better dog parents. Jessica has also boarded Java on many occasions; Java is always excited to go and play and returns to us happy and healthy.

I just wanted to tell you how much you helped Pippi and me--I was most concerned about her jumping on people, especially me. I learned from you how to match her energy and how to communicate with my body what she was to do. Two weeks ago I had both knees replaced, and I am thrilled to say there has not been one incident of jumping!! We learned how to keep Pippi in a down stay till I am safely inside the house and seated. She does it perfectly. We're a much happier household. Thank you for giving me some insight into how Pip's brain works!

We adopted Maddy from a friend’s home where she had become distrustful of strangers and often tried to bite them. At our house, she did not bite at strangers, but was fearful of being touched by them. She also had developed a fear of other dogs, and would lunge and snap at any dog that we would meet on a walk. Jessica recommend “boot camp” for Maddy. Maddy stayed at Jessica’s farm for over three weeks, learning to conquer her fearful temperament and become socialized with other dogs and different people. The results are almost unbelievable. Maddy now walks with other dogs, allows people to pet her, walks with a loose leash, and is still the same lovable dog that she was to us even when she trusted no one else. If your dog has a temperament issue, you should consider letting Jessica help you turn your dog into all it can be.

She is dependable and trustworthy. I trust her! M.

He would not listen. He was too big to hold back so anyone who came to our door was knocked down. Walking with Kip was not something we could do at all. Two weeks with Jessica and I have a wonderful fun loving obedient dog. What a change! He will listen now and we can have people over without any stress. Walking is now so nice and relaxing for both of us. Kip is learning something new each week and we now have a balanced dog with Jessica Troop to thank.
