CHOOSE THE TRAINING PATH THAT FITS YOUR DOG

“Yoni, Jenna, and John are amazing. We started with private and group training for our 4-month-old puppy. After a good foundation, we sent him to boarding/training for 3 weeks and WOW the progress has been AMAZING. He is calmer and can be with my two young boys without running around stealing socks, toys, and snacks. He loves his 'place mat' which we can move around the house. Our walks improve every day.

The weekend group training sessions (included with the bootcamp, which is a HUGE bonus) help both me and Kody stay on track while making progress as he continues to grow as a puppy. Thank you so much for caring for our dog while we traveled and setting us up for success! Time to keep it up with group sessions and access to the entire online training!

Thanks so much, Yoni and team!!!!”

“I can’t say enough great things about this place! My pooch, Ronin, was very reactive to all dogs after being attacked. As the owner, it was traumatic for both of us and controlling a 120lb American Bulldog is not easy.

We found Yoni through a friend back in January and it’s been a game changer. I’m overcoming my trauma and know the cues to watch for and how to handle myself, Ronin, and the situation. We did board and train and go to class regularly - these classes are great! Working with Yoni and team these last ~6 months has allowed us to move into to a house with two other dogs a couple weeks ago (something that wouldn’t been possible without Balancing Paws). We are also taking our other dogs to Yoni too!

HIGHLY recommend Balancing Paws!”

“We have a very stubborn dachshund. He's cute, but he's the most challenging dog we've ever had. I knew there was no way I'd be able to train this dog myself since he tested every ounce of my patience.

While he was still very young, I started with Balancing Paws' online course, which was extremely helpful for learning the basics (along with tons of other information I didn't know—and he is not my first puppy/dog).

Both my husband and I work really busy schedules, so we decided to send Blue to the 2 Week On-Leash Fundamentals board and train once he was a little older (7 months). Each week when we'd visit for our lesson we were so impressed with how much he'd learned and grown. He's learned boundaries and impulse control, which were non-existent before. He's much better in his crate/pen, too. And after an extra week, he's on his way to mastering many of his commands off-leash (with the help of the e-collar). We're excited to continue working with him now that he's home and to attend group classes.

If you're looking for the best dog trainers in the Valley, look no further!”

"Great dog training. We have done the 6 week training camp with one dog and a 2 week camp with another dog. The results have been great. The group sessions are a favorite for socializing our cane corso. It’s fun and has made our dogs better more chill companions."

"Yoni is an amazing dog trainer! He not only forms a strong bond with the dogs but also teaches the humans how to keep the progress going. He has helped me with a dog aggressive dog being able to live with another dog roommate. And now a pup that can walk off leash and stay right next to me when out rock climbing."

Erica Friedman & KK

"Yoni and his staff are OUTSTANDING!! It doesn't matter the size or breed of your dog, if you are looking for a dog trainer to help you understand AND make the positive difference for your pets, you need to come to Balancing Paws! Thank you Yoni for being a true expert!"

“We have a 15 month lab and have been to several trainers over the last year for reactivity, started training at 9 weeks, with no progress. Obedience was fair but reactivity made it pointless. After just the 1st class there was a change for the better, and after several I now have a new dog, and really look forward to what’s ahead. Yoni’s balanced method and his approach to each dog as an individual is amazing. He takes the time to really understand your goals and challenges.

Thanks Yoni for everything, top notch training.”

James Teasley & Bodhi

“Highly recommend! What a night and day difference we have seen with our dogs. We have done individual lessons, group lessons, and camp. Each one has exceeded our expectations.

I love how they teach us the rationale behind what we are working on and how to reinforce it at home. Yoni and his team genuinely love dogs and it shows.

This has only increased the bond with our pets and made it so fun to be out and about with them. Also, when guests visit our home, it’s enjoyable now instead of frustrating. No more incessant barking and being jumped on when you enter! Don’t worry- they still alert that someone is there (which is nice for safety), but once we acknowledge they are our friends, they are quiet and wait on their “place” to be greeted. Our dogs have such good manners! They are happier and so are we!

If you’re on the fence, do it! Worth every penny!”

“We adopted a fear-based reactionary dog whose reaction was aggression towards other dogs and people. He also was hyper-fixated on just about everything: bikes, skateboards, birds, people with big hats, plastic bags and leaves blowing.

We have some experience with dogs with behavioral issues so we were working with him several times a day and he was making some progress but he was still reacting aggressively if we couldn’t manage distance (and the reality is in a big urban area, you can’t always).

We started doing Yoni’s online courses, and they have helped tremendously. Within 2 weeks of doing the drills, he is almost perfect on a leash. We have also been able to work more specifically on his calmness in the house, so he can be calmer with an encounter.

A big tip from Yoni gave us a 180. Two implementations at the right moment have completely removed his aggressive reactions to other dogs. He has stayed calm when charged by off leash dogs, letting us handle the situation. It’s amazing!

We are now working on his people interactions and has already started improving and we know Yoni and his team is there for us if we need any additional help.

Can’t recommend him enough. You can tell he loves and understands dogs and working (yes its not magic, its a lot of work), with him will get your dog to where you need them to be to have a fulfilling life TOGETHER.”

“I cannot begin to explain how much I appreciate Balancing Paws and Yoni. What they did for our Great Dane Bronco is priceless! We dropped him off for four weeks, and he came back a reformed dog, but still his goofy self! We continue to train him daily, just like Yoni taught us, and it was worth every penny. 10/10 would recommend - every dog will be returning to Balancing Paws! He doesn’t pull on the leash anymore, I don’t have to worry about him off leash, and he listens to all the commands! WORTH EVERY PENNY!

Thank you, Yoni!”

“Balancing Paws came highly recommended from a neighbor about a year ago. The location is almost an hour from my house so I didn’t look into it. HUGE REGRET! We had our first 1:1 training here and LOVED IT! The drive was worth it!

After almost 2 years of working with trainers, Balancing Paws has a new approach, and we saw improvement in the first session! I am excited to learn more and help my doggo be his best version. The property from the street doesn’t look big but you walk through the gates and it’s a doggy heaven in the backyard! Extremely clean and organized with lots of different equipment for the dogs. I would highly recommend!”
