Balanced Beginnings K9

🎓🐾 Congrats to our Puppy Graduates! 🐾🎓

These pups just wrapped up a 6-week group course at BBK9, building the foundation for success in their most important early months. ♥️

Over our time together, they learned and practiced:
🐾 Come
🐾 Place
🐾 Down
🐾 Sit

…all with added proofing in distance, distraction, and duration.

We also worked on crate manners, calmly waiting at thresholds, engagement and neutrality on walks with a loose leash, plus handling and nail trim desensitization.

I’m beyond proud of how far each puppy has come and had so much fun working with this group! 😊

Puggylicious couldn’t make it to our two-week extension, but of course he still had to be in the graduation lineup. 🐶✨

Bambino went home!! ❤️🐶

Bambino, the 8-month-old Cane Corso, just wrapped up his 2-week board and train with us and impressed his owners during his go-home lesson by showing off all his new skills!

Over the past two weeks, Bambino has:

✅ Built a solid foundation in obedience commands like place, down, come, heel, and stay
✅ Become more reliable around a wide variety of distractions—including cats, which were previously a major temptation
✅ Learned that his size and mouth are not effective (or appropriate) tools to get his way

I’m so proud of everything Bambino accomplished during his stay, and I’m excited to see his owners continue his progress at home. He’s well on his way to becoming a big, respectful, and well-behaved boy! 🥳

You’re not a bad dog owner because your dog isn’t perfect.

Your dog isn’t a bad dog because they can’t handle everything that life throws at them.

By working with your dog you can help them to become the best version of themselves, but you’ll never turn them into something that they’re not.

Training is about getting to know your dog for who they are and meeting them where they’re at.

BBK9 is potentially looking to add someone to the team for the summer.🐶

I’m interested in hiring a training assistant/kennel technician who is hard working, thourough, confident, and outgoing as well as able to be physically active for most of the day. Someone who has experience working with dogs and preferably experience with balanced training tools and methodsds. Tasks will vary depending on skill set and experience but would potentially include training/handling dogs of various breed, size, and temperament. Regular pottying and feeding of dogs as well as daily cleaning of their spaces. Communicating and working with clients over the phone as well as in person.

Part time and full time hours available. Option to continue past a seasonal position depending on how things go!

Introducing group courses to BBK9’s service options!! Currently I will offering a group course for young puppies as well as adult dog’s who just need some help with leash manners and offleash reliability.

Dates and times for each course are listed in the graphics below!

PRICES:
Puppy Basics: $250
Foundations to Freedom: $450

A high quality ecollar and prong collar, slip lead, or martingale will be required for the Foundations to Freedom course. Tools can be purchased through me for a discounted price.

Ecollar = $150
Prong collar = $17.25 - $27.25 dependent on size and if you’d like an added buckle.

Dog’s experiencing moderate to major behavioral issues such as anxiety, reactivity aggression, etc. will not be eligible for these courses as behavior modification will not be covered in the criteria and such behaviors would not be productive in a group class environment.

To register for these courses please email me at [email protected]

Group sizes will be kept small so limited spots available!!
