Welcome to Balancing Paws
We help families create calm, confident dogs by teaching clear communication and everyday structure. Our mission is simple, make training feel easy, effective, and practical for owners.
Every program follows our proven Blueprint, guiding dogs and owners through the key stages of transformation:
- Meaningful Boundaries: problem solving, clarity and respect in the home.
- Way of the Walk: calm, connected leash skills.
- Bulletproof Obedience: reliable habits that hold up anywhere.
- Reliable Recall: the freedom of off-leash trust.
Our goal is not just a well-behaved dog, it is a stronger bond, easier days, and a life you can actually enjoy together.

PRIVATE TRAINING
Private Training is hands-on coaching designed for owners who want to be part of every step. You will work side by side with your trainer each week, learning the same system used in our Board & Train programs, from boundaries at home to calm, focused walks, bulletproof obedience, and reliable recall.
Each session builds your confidence and your dog’s understanding through structured, real-world practice and clear, measurable progress.
BOARD & TRAIN
Our Board & Train program delivers proven, world-class results. Your dog lives and trains with our team each day, following a structured routine that builds calm, confidence, and lasting respect. It is a complete lifestyle reset designed to bring out your dog’s best and make life easier, safer, and more enjoyable for you both.
Choose from our 2-, 4-, or 6-week programs depending on your goals and your dog’s needs. Throughout their stay, we focus on real-world habits that hold up anywhere, and we keep you connected every step of the way through weekly owner coaching sessions. You will understand exactly how to maintain your dog’s new mindset and skills once they are home.
Every Board & Train program also includes six months of unlimited group training, giving you continued support and practice as your dog grows.
ONLINE TRAINING
Prefer to learn from home? Our guided online course walks you through the same proven Bootcamp Blueprint, from boundaries to recall, with clear demos, step-by-step exercises, and measurable homework. Learn at your own pace, wherever you are.

Dalia Mitchell ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
We started Zoom the day we brought Pearl home. The facility is amazing. After two weeks she does not bolt, plays appropriately, and knows her limits.

We love our experience with Balancing Paws! We began the day we brought Pearl home with a series of zoom sessions to provide us with the fundamentals for surviving the puppy stage. As she got older we realized that it is time to experience their amazing facility... We highly recommend Balancing Paws for your dog training and boarding needs.
Kay Schafer ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Our 1-year-old rescue lacked confidence and recall. After 2 weeks he walked calmly by busy streets and comes running when called.

WHAT IS THE BOOTCAMP BLUEPRINT?
The Bootcamp Blueprint is our start-to-finish system for real-life results. We first create calm and respect at home, then teach clear leash communication, build distraction-proof obedience, and finally earn off-leash trust. Each phase has clear goals and measurable homework so you can see steady progress week to week.
- Meaningful Boundaries - establish calm, respectful choices at home so training sticks.
- Way of the Walk - transform the walk with leash skills that create focus and connection.
- Bulletproof Obedience - distraction-proof fundamentals you can rely on anywhere.
- Reliable Recall - off-leash freedom with safety, anytime, anywhere.
