The Balanced Life

Available for adoption I am asking everyone to please share Harvey is still available for adoption! Listed though @doggoneseattle About Harvey: about a year old, pointer/pit mix. Taken from shelter life and put into foster care this boy hasn't had a lot of interest. I took him in, in October and we have done full e-collar training for Recall, Place, Out, Leash skills, and to help him build some confidence around new things and people. He can be super excitable and a bit over the top when playing or when you come home. He can be a tad shy on the first meeting but warms up quickly with treats and toys! He loves to play, either by himself, with you, or other dogs with a proper intro. While he is crate trained, he can free roam without being destructive. Harvey is potty trained, neutered and current on vaccines. Super treat and toy motivated. He would do well in a home with or without another dog, family or single dog own but no young kids due to his over excitement. He would make a wonderful hiking or adventure buddy, or be happy chilling at home snuggling on the sofa watching Netflix all day. I would really love to see this sweet crazy boy find his forever home before I go on my trip in April. #dogs #adopt #pnwdogs #adpotdontshop #availableforadoption #doggoneseattle #dogdays #ilovemydog #fosterdog #doglife #pit #pitmix

Mr. Apollo went for a small hike today! He did wonderful and had a great time. Who said e-collars make dogs sad and don't work? This dog now has new freedom due to his e-collar! #dogs #dogtraining #pnwtrainer #doglife #dogadvice #doggyfun #boardandtrain #boardandtrainprogram #dogtrainingpdx #ecollardogtraining #minieducator #ecollartechnologies #balancedtrainingworks #balancedtrainer #dogsarelife #doggyfun #germanshepherd #gooddogs #therearenobaddogs #offleashtraining #offleashfreedom

Hello, we are happy to announce our introductions to scentwork class! This will be a 5-week group class Don't let group class scare you. We will have a one dog at a time policy. That way every dog can run the course at his or her own pace without the distractions of other dogs around. During the 5 weeks I will introduce you and your dog to on and off leash searches, indoor and outdoor searches, closed container searches and a car search! Classes will be held at @k9tofivevancouver Starting next week Sunday at 2pm! 6 spots so space is limited! #scentworks #dogadvice #dogtrainingadvice #dogtrainer #doglife #groupclases #dogsports #k9tofivevancouver #doggydaycare #doggyfun #doglife #dogsforlife #playwithyourdog #dogs

Welcome Apollo! This cute Shepard is starting to show some aggression when caught doing things he isn't supposed to, and has some fear based reactivity. His family also wants him to be a bit better at basic manners and not pull on his leash so they can walk him more. So thrilled to have him for our two week BT to help him achieve his goals! #dogs #dogtraining #pnwtrainer #doglife #boardandtrain #boardandtrainprogram #dogsforlife #minieducator #ecollardogtraining #ecollartechnologies #dogsbestlife❤️ #dogtipsandtricks #dogtrainingtools #doggos #germanshepherd

Training update on Marty! His training is really coming along. He is loving all the dog play and has made some friends. He has a bit of stranger danger, so this week we are going to help him feel more comfortable navigating around some busier environments so he can be more successful while out in public. #dogs #dogtraining #pnwtrainer #doggyfun #doglife #boardandtrain #boardandtrainprogram #dogtrainforlife #dogtrainingpdx #dogsforlife #balancedtrainingworks #balancedtrainer #balancedlife #ecollardogtraining #ecollar #ecollartechnologies #minieducator
