EXCELLENT Based on 16 reviews Posted on Google Kaitlin SterwaldTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Karina is simply amazing! I was scrolling through Facebook one day and her account came up an ad. I always wanted to get in touch with a trainer for my golden retriever, and my boyfriend’s dog a blue heeler. The prices were always out of budget. But I decided to wing it and message her! From there on out, we never looked back and no regrets at all! Her prices are very reasonable and you truly pay for what you get. We started with private lessons for my golden retriever, where she was able to learn recall rather quickly! After seeing the success we made in just private lessons with my golden girl, I decided to have my boyfriend send his dog to some lessons as well since he is a very anxious dog. Karina has worked with both dogs now, and everything she does is amazing! While on vacation I sent Nova (my golden girl) to her for a 10 day board and train. I was anxious about leaving her, but Karina made sure to send out a daily report card of her day, and posted her on her instagram! If you need a trainer, Karina is your person! Her communication is great, she shows the same love to each dog she has, and makes sure that as owners we are also educated!Posted on Google Tina MTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. If you are wondering “should I do the private trainer route?…” do it. Karina was wonderful to work with. My dog is generally well mannered and friendly. He knows a lot of commands and picks up on training routines. However, we have been struggling with his impulse control and mood stabilization-for example he gets very aroused/excited and has a hard time calming back down. I have read TONS of dog training and behavior recommendations online. Doing research yourself is fine and it has helped, but having Karina, and her insight, involved was a lifesaver. She read my dog’s individual signals and communications (and also showed me, so that I can read his behavior, in real time, more accurately as well) and helped us tailor some training strategies that are suited for his personality. In just a few days of following her suggestions, I have already seen him responding. We feel very optimistic for the future. I am so thankful for her expertise and I highly recommend her services.Posted on Google Dawn TaylorTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Karina is a life saver. I have the sweetest snuggle dog that was aggressive towards strangers and dogs that walked past our home. My dog had anxiety out of fear. My baby stayed with Karina for a 21 day boot camp. It was hard for me to leave him and it was hard for him to adjust to being there. He had never been away from home before. I had a lot of reservations but this was the best decision I have ever made. My baby came home with controlled reactive behavior. Im not nervous about who might walk by when we go outside anymore. We have so much more freedom and can walk to public areas. She did such a great job, we’ve hired her to help train our second dog who is super excited and has a hard time calming down. I’m thankful we found her and I highly recommend her.Posted on Google Ryan CapeTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Karina did a board and train for our 7 month old dog Moxi for six days while we were on vacation. We received multiple pictures and videos each day from Karina showing the exercises they worked on and the progress Moxi was making. Moxi made noticeable improvement in settling, loose leash walking, and reactivity. We even received a tailored document afterwards on things we could work on at home. We’d highly recommend Karina for boarding and/or training and will continue to work with her as Moxi gets older!Posted on Google Amie McChrystalTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We can’t thank Karina enough for working with our dog, Bella! We sent Bella for a four week board & train to focus on her resource guarding, socialization, and overall confidence. After coming home, we have noticed great improvements and feel confident having solutions in place which we didn’t have before. Thank you again Karina for your help with our Bella!Posted on Google Stacie LindgrenTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Karina was super knowledgable, easy to communicate with and helpful with working on our dog and his anxiety issues. I preferred her home environment to bigger dog training facilities and I was glad that my dog was at her house at night instead of being left alone. Since she only trains two dogs at a time she was able to give my dog a lot of attention and time and place him in situations that we would also have him in such as taking him to downtown Oconomowoc and around lots of people. She was great about updating his progress thru text and instagram stories. My dog really likes her and liked being at her house too!Posted on Google Niki MooreTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I reached out to Balance Together because my dog had a bad experience with another dog and started reacting to other dogs. I was not sure how to help. Karina was patient with me and explained what my dog (and I) needed in order to achieve my goal of taking my dog on walks again. I signed up for the 3 week board and train. When my dog returned home, he was more confident, more comfortable, and a more considerate canine! If you are considering dog training, I highly recommend Karina!Posted on Google Kristan McNamesTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Karina is an amazing dog trainer. She's knowledgeable, insightful and works really well with the dogs entrusted to her care. I sent my 11 mo. old English Labrador to her for three weeks. We missed him, but the reward was worth the wait. She helped solidify basic commands, and worked with us on getting him off to the best start with training. He comes to work at my funeral home on an almost daily basis and the foundation that he and our family learned from Karina really helped us upon his return, and continues to help. I enjoyed seeing his movie clips and photos on Instagram that she posted for our family, to update us about his learning and progress. She is responsive with questions and has been very helpful since his return several months ago. I've referred several friends and business associates to her, as I highly recommend her programs.Posted on Google Kerri SchoonyoungTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. 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.Posted on Google Rebekah JaspersonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I reached out to Karina for individual training sessions for my german shepherd dog who has been struggling with reactivity and it has been so helpful! The tips and exercises she has given us have been great in terms of teaching him specific behaviors and also with just calming him down in general. She is a great resource for any questions I have in between sessions. I can't recommend her enough!Verified by TrustindexTrustindex verified badge is the Universal Symbol of Trust.
