What Our Clients Say

Balance Together Dog Training

Karina was a dream to work with. She is a kind, loving and patient trainer. We felt like we were a part of the experience from the beginning and she continues to support us throughout the process now that we are at home. The experience far exceeded our expectations and we would recommend her to anyone looking for a quality and loving trainer

Kerri

"Karina is so amazing at what she does! My dog-Chief was at a board & train for 3 weeks with her & made major progress! Chief & I are going to have a wonderful life full of so many possibilities because of the incredible foundation that Karina put into place. She is super knowledgeable, patient, friendly and professional. I would recommend Karina & Balance Together dog training to anyone who wants assistance (big or small) with their dog training needs! :)"

Lexi

Best trainer I have ever had. I have been to two other trainers and in the first lesson they both suggested I rehome my dog. After Karina took control of the leash my (fearful, reactive, and shy) dog was so different. I have never seen him so engaged and willing to learn. She was polite, kind, personable, and extremely helpful. She was also very open to me talking about my past experiences and made me feel very comfortable with her. She is far from judgy and even came into my home. My dog is very territorial so for her to be able to come inside without him growling or barking was a huge step for us. I will 100% be continuing my training journey with her.

Bryelle

Karina was absolutely amazing! Two of our four dogs went to her 4 week board and train program to help with their reactivity and aggression. Their behaviors at home included reactivity towards dogs and other animals on TV, aggression towards small children, and barking when people entered our home. Our dogs had also gotten into physical altercations with one another because of their aggression/reactivity. Karina worked diligently with them on everything from basic commands to car rides, and most importantly, confidence. When they returned home you could immediately see improvement in their sense of self control. They have also learned how to embrace a sense of calm. Karina kept us up-to-date throughout the whole process and was very transparent. She made the transition back home seamless and made sure we had the tools and resources to set us up for success. We have implemented the training Karina gave us with our other two dogs at home with great results. Overall our busy household with four pups is significantly calmer and quieter. Karina has also been available to us since the dogs have been back at home to answer any questions we have. She has even met with us to continue working on the progress they have made. We are so grateful to have found Karina-she has truly given us a sense of control over our home once dominated by dogs!

Bethany

I reached out to Karina because my dog had separation anxiety and would bark and whine while alone. He was also agitated and would never really stay calm. After four weeks of training I can say that I am impressed by his progress. Karina also posted on her Instagram story every day (several times a day) of what they were doing, their training and cute pictures. Besides, she answered any of texts or questions really fast and was always helpful. When my dog had an allergic reaction, she let me know me right away and took great care of him, ordering bandanas, cones and new collars to accommodate him. Now my dog is more calm, is able to settle, and stoped barking in the kennel. Even if I will have to keep working with him, Karina created a really good foundation that I can now maintain. If you need a trainer I really recommend balance together dog training!

Typhene

Karina is an excellent, very knowledgeable dog trainer. Our dog has some unwanted behaviors along with extreme anxiety. We did board and train for 4 weeks with our springer spaniel and he returned home yesterday. Although we still have work to do and the continuation of the awesome changes that Karina instilled in our dog, it’s well worth the time and patience ahead of us. Berkley came home with a more scheduled daily regime, a more peaceful mind, and his anxiety is definitely much much better. In just one months time she took our dog and worked diligently with him. Keeping me updated daily. Answering any and all questions that we had. We even visited a couple of times where she updated us and let us take part in some of the training. She followed through with bringing him home his last day to explain to us everything very thoroughly. Including how she exercises him on the treadmill. 😀. We also received a detailed packet with suggestions, ideas, and a summary tailored for our dog. Our experience was awesome and I am 100% certain yours will be too. You won’t regret it. He’s not perfect but work in progress. We as dog parents need to change our ways too, so that also takes time.

Judy

We sent Winchester, our 8 month old (at the time) Westie to train/board for two weeks. Karina kept us updated continuously via text and video regarding his progress. She was kind and explained EVERYTHING, making us feel very comfortable leaving our fur baby in her hands. She answered my questions quickly and helped us plan for his continued "education" upon return home. He came home, very happy and well behaved. Our main concerns, being a terrier, were his chase instinct and his stubborn/independent nature. He is now a great listener and I feel very safe letting him roam the yard and while on walks. He obeys commands and continues to progress with the tools and knowledge she provided after his initial training. Also, if I ever reach out with a question or concern, she continues to respond and support us. I would HIGHLY recommend her for your dog training!

Rebecca

My boyfriend and I took our dog, Franklin, to Karina for a 16 day board and train and we were SO impressed with how much he learned in this short period of time! Frank had some issues with separation anxiety and basic obedience/commands. It was clear that Karina tailored this experience towards Franklin’s needs - he came back almost a whole new dog! His basic obedience is super sharp now, as well as his recall, which was so important for us as we want to be able to do off-leash things with him. He is also much more calm and relaxed now. Karina is extremely good at communicating, the entire time Franklin was away she gave us updates on his training as well as overall well-being, so you can be confident your dog is in great hands! She also gave us a super detailed take-home packet that was tailored towards Franklin’s training so we could continue with the work on our own. The take-home session was also great and super informational, Karina was very reassuring and took the time to answer all of my questions. Overall we HIGHLY recommend Outshine K9 dog training’s board and train program! We couldn’t be happier with the outcome!
