Ren has helped us totally transform our 1 year old rescue dog. We were on the verge of returning him when we hired balanced pack. Our dog was reactive, barked at everyone and everything, jumped on everything and was impossible to control.\nHe is now one of the best dogs in our condominium, and everyone loves him (We saw changes almost immediately and he is improving every day)\nWe are continuing to work with Ren to help us with some adjustments, but I can’t say enough about how effective the balanced Pack training is 🙌

Ren is amazing! Ren had our dog for the two week board and train program and the pup that came out of the program was a totally different dog - calmer, no pulling, focused on us, and more. Even more importantly, Ren trained and taught us what we needed to be doing and why, her instructions helped us be the owners our dog needed and I use her teachings every day! We are very active outdoors and wanted to be able have a mutual trust that our dog wouldn’t run off and would be safe in outdoor spaces where he’s permitted to be off leash. Because of Ren, shrimp gets to enjoy a life of freedom camping, fishing, and hiking! Can you believe that we can fly fish and he will watch from the bank? We are constantly impressed by him and it’s because of Ren! Highly recommend!

My husband and I tried *everything* to get our Labradoodle, Luna, to calm down enough to be able to take her on walks, and to the dog park, and other places, but she saw every person, dog, car, and truck, and even leaves, as an immediate threat. She would go from sweet to crazy at the drop of a hat, and taking her anywhere was so stressful we finally stopped trying until a good friend told us about Ren, and her incredible affinity with dogs. To say she's changed our lives would be a vast understatement. Not only has Ren helped Luna understand that it's not her job to try and alert, and defend, to everything in the universe, but Ren also worked patiently with us, and helped us learn the tools we needed to create, and reinforce, a positive, healthy, relationship, with Luna. It's like she's a completely different dog now. She is so much happier, and we're definitely happier too. We can't thank Ren, and Balanced Pack K9 Tra🐕ining, enough. Take a leap of faith and reach out to her if you're ready to change your relationship with your dog in a way that brings happier, less stressful, days to all of you. You'll be glad you did. Thanks, Ren. Luna says hi. 😊 🐕 😊

Ren and her training program has been a game changer for our family. Our dog is now a well behaved dog who knows how to act in all situations. We as a family also learned how to handle our dog in a manner that helps him understand who the leader is. We started seeing improvement after the first lesson.\n\nIf you’re looking for someone to help teach your dog how to follow commands and behave this is your trainer! She is kind, thorough, and the dogs respect her instantly. We learned so much and so did our dog!
