Our Approach
Balanced Training includes a healthy dose of both traditional and reward methods. This allows us to pull the best practices from a variety of approaches to find the strategy that works well for you and your dog.
Establishing clear communication skills are at the top of the to-do list. We create a solid foundation for you and your pup to align on what behaviors are acceptable, and which ones are not. When we train this way, our dogs learn what to do as well as what not to do, rather than just one or the other.
Your trainer will design an individualized approach specific to your goals and your dog’s personality. We want YOU and YOUR dog to be successful!
Meet Your Trainer
Roxanne’s original relationship to dog training began as a client. Having experienced frustration and helplessness that often come with handling a reactive dog, guidance from an experienced balanced trainer morphed her feelings into relief — as well as a fulfilling relationship with her dog.
Prior to professional dog training, Roxanne volunteered at local animal shelters. She is passionate about dog rescue and has fostered over 35 dogs through a local rescue.
Roxanne first honed her coaching skills as a physical therapist which – like dog training – involves a process of identifying an issue and coaching clients towards a solution.
When not dog training, you might find Roxanne coaching her physical therapy clients, running, hiking, skiing, or practicing guitar.
Kind Words
“The difference with our pup between when we started and where we are now is night and day. He’s now amazing at heel, being off leash, stopped going for our food, come when called, and much more”
Eric Clapp
“With a warm and friendly yet professional and knowledgeable disposition, she taught me not only tools - but the right tools to incorporate into our lives to diminish the unwanted and annoying barking”
Tina Eisner
“I now have an energetic pup who is much calmer at home, safer to run with on leash, and is far less anxious. We are both very happy customers”
