About Balancing Paws

Balancing Paws is more than a dog training company; it’s a mission to change the standard of how dogs and their families live and learn together. Built around the proven Bootcamp Blueprint, every service we offer helps owners build a relationship of trust, respect, and clear communication with their dogs.

From private lessons to immersive board & train bootcamps to online courses, our programs all follow the same step-by-step path:

  • Meaningful Boundaries: calm, respect, and trust.

  • Way of the Walk: walking in harmony with leash skills and focus.

  • Bulletproof Obedience: reliable commands for everyday life.

  • Reliable Recall: the freedom and safety of dependable off-leash control.

We believe training isn’t just about obedience. It’s about helping owners become their dog’s teacher, so they can enjoy a lifetime of calm walks, stress-free outings, and the freedom that comes from a strong relationship.

Yoni Kachlon

Founder & Dog Behavior Specialist

Hi, I’m Yoni, the founder of Balancing Paws and the creator of the Bootcamp Blueprint. For more than 15 years, I’ve dedicated my life to helping dogs and their families transform chaos into calm, respect, and trust.

My journey started in college, when my family cut me off financially. At that point, I had a choice: give up my dog Jasmine, or figure out how to build a life that included her. I chose Jasmine, and that choice changed everything. I began walking dogs, training them, and ultimately discovered my life’s purpose.

In 2012, I won a sweepstakes that gave me the chance to train directly with Cesar Millan and his team. That experience, combined with years of study and practice, formed the foundation for what is now the Bootcamp Blueprint, a proven, step-by-step system that helps dogs and owners succeed together.

Today, Balancing Paws has grown from a one-man operation into a training company trusted by hundreds of families across Phoenix. Every service we offer, from private lessons to immersive board & train bootcamps to online courses, is built around the Bootcamp Blueprint.

This isn’t just about obedience. It’s about giving owners the tools to become their dog’s teacher, building trust first, then layering in skills like leash walking, reliable obedience, and off-leash freedom. My mission is to change the standard of dog training by making relationship-based, reliable results accessible to every owner.

Thank you for being here, and I’d be honored to help you and your dog start your Blueprint journey.
