At Balanced Behavior Dog Training Center, we embrace a lifelong student mindset. Our programs are uniquely designed to help your dog gain and maintain important skills, but they will transform you in many ways, too.
We empower you with the knowledge and skills to create a lifelong relationship with your dog that is rooted in love, trust, and mutual respect.
GOAT Training Camp is designed to train both your dog – and most importantly, you. This immersive daily drop-off program offers your dog a full day of training, behavioral support, and personalized attention at our facility. Unlike a traditional board and train program, your dog is with us for the day so you won’t be apart from them for an extended period of time. While they’re in our care, your dog receives direct 1:1 obedience training, teaching relaxation (‘turning off’), crate training, and practicing calm neutrality around other dogs. In addition, you will receive a 30-minute private training session with your dog on each day of the program, either at drop-off or pick-up, based on your preference.
