Testimonials

“We adopted a fear-based reactionary dog (aggressive towards dogs & people). He was hyper-fixated on just about everything: bikes, skateboards, birds, people with big hats, plastic bags & leaves blowing.

We started doing Yoni’s online courses, & they have helped tremendously. Within 2 weeks of doing the drills, he is almost perfect on a leash. We have also been able to work more specifically on his calmness in the house, so he can be calmer with an encounter.

But a big tip from Yoni gave us a 180. Two implementations at the right moment have completely removed his aggressive reactions to other dogs. He has stayed calm when charged by off-leash dogs, letting us handle the situation. It’s amazing!

We are now working on his people interactions & he has already started improving.

Can’t recommend these courses enough. You can tell Yoni loves & understands dogs. Working with him (yes it's not magic, it's a lot of work) will get your dog to where you need them to be so you can have a fulfilling life TOGETHER.”

“Getting a brand new puppy was something we hadn’t done in several years & now we also had two young kids at home. We knew we wanted to establish a positive relationship with our family member from the beginning. However, we were very overwhelmed with how to do that.

The Balancing Paws Online Puppy Course made us confident puppy parents. We loved how Yoni broke things down into very small, attainable steps. His video about the pet corrector made a huge difference for us. Before, our puppy was jumping non-stop on our small kids and often knocking them over. That video helped us reclaim play time with our puppy and provided the tools we needed to set healthy boundaries.

We recommend Balancing Paws to everyone who wants a strong, healthy relationship with their pup. ”

“We have a *very stubborn* dachshund. He's cute, but he's the most challenging dog we've ever had. I knew there was no way I'd be able to train this dog myself since he tested every ounce of my patience.

While he was still very young, I started with Balancing Paws' online course, which was extremely helpful for learning the basics (along with tons of other information I didn't know—and he is not my first puppy/dog).

Both my husband and I work really busy schedules, so we decided to send Blue to the 2 Week On-Leash Fundamentals board and train once he was a little older (7 months). Each week when we'd visit for our lesson we were so impressed with how much he'd learned and grown. He's learned boundaries and impulse control, which were non-existent before. He's much better in his crate/pen, too. And after an extra week, he's on his way to mastering many of his commands off-leash. We're excited to continue working with him now that he's home and to attend group classes.

If you're looking for the best dog trainers in the Valley, look no further!”
