We worked with Stephanie on my dog Alice's severe anxiety towards fireworks, cats, and separation anxiety. Stephanie was easy to work with and communicated wonderfully the entire time. She gave us insights and tips to better understand our dog and her triggers for anxiety. In particular, I'm so proud of her for overcoming her fear of cats! We are able to walk by them on a walk without having a full panic attack which is huge. Alice also trusts us a lot more when it comes to managing her anxiety - she looks to us first when fireworks happen, knowing we are there to support her rather than running off and panicking. All thanks to the hard work we were able to put in with Stephanie! She guided us through and is truly very knowledable.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.  Stephanie taught us dog language and how to react or not react to bad behavior...  She really helped us to understand and then use newly learned skills in dealing with our dog.  We all get along so much better since Stephanie's intervention!!  Highly recommend!!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.  The best dog trainer we’ve worked with! our dof was so calm and comfortable with stephanie and she made us feel the same. Highly recommend for any behavioral needs - she also provides amazing resources outside of sessions (for us, to keep your pup intellectually stimulated). Can’t recommend enough for her kindness, expertise and patience. Thank you so much 💗💗💗!!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.  My pup Huxley struggles a lot with anxiety and reactive behavior (especially with other dogs). Stephanie's expertise and care has been pivotal in Huxley's rapid improvement. She is patient, precise, well read and invested in helping pet parents and their fur babies reach their goals. I highly recommend working with Stephanie as she is a fantastic teacher and trainer!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.  We had a great experience with Stephanie! Our 1.5year old mixed breed rescue was developing some protective behaviors at home and work that needed correcting. During our sessions, Stephanie came to our home, observed his behavior, explained where they could be stemming from and gave us correction tips (both for ourselves and for our pup) After each session she sent VERY helpful and detailed email recaps / homework to work on. In the short time since working with Stephanie we saw some great progress and we can not recommend her more! Thank you thank you!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.  We've had the best experience with Stephanie. She was inquisitive and observative of our dog's behaviors and problem areas. She took her time making sure we understood the reasoning behind everything she taught me and made sure that we were capable of executing the skills on our own. We saw progress with our dog's behaviors and habits after just one session with Stephanie. We hope to continue working with her in the future and would recommend her to anyone looking for some help with their pup!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.  Stephanie was great. Clearly very professional. She quickly identified behaviors in me and my dog that I totally didn't realize was creating issues between us. It was getting very frustrating and unmanageable. With a bunch of tricks and changes in my own behavior I am able to have better walks and set better boundaries. I am happier and my dog is happier. She gave me  great advice and I keep implementing them and my dog has become much easier to deal with inside and outside. He is listening more and I'm calmer. I highly recommend her if you need any type of help with training or behavioral issues concerning your dog.

Stephanie was amazing to work with. Our dog had previously been through e-collar training, and after some time we found that she was not receptive to commands and was generally scared a lot of the time. That’s when we contacted Balanced Pack Training, and we are so thankful we did. Stephanie was patient and made all of the learnings very positive and easy for our dog and us to understand. Just a couple of months after starting the training, our dog has astronomically more confidence and seems to be enjoying life a lot more, as Stephanie helped us to identify her triggers and work through them.

We’re so appreciative. Now after just four training sessions, we have a toolbox of skills we can use for a lifetime.
