ABOUT US
Relationship-Based Training
We work closely with owners to create real, lasting change with their dogs, whether the challenges are behavioral, relational, or obedience-based. Our focus is on the canine-human relationship and helping you understand your dog’s psychology and behavior so communication becomes natural, fair, and clear.
By learning your dog’s language, you gain the confidence to respond appropriately, build trust and respect, and develop a healthy relationship that makes sense to your dog.
We didn’t always have the tools or understanding we do now. Like many owners, we’ve experienced confusion, frustration, and the feeling of trying everything without seeing real progress. That experience is what led us to study dog psychology and behavior deeply and commit to doing things differently.
Today, our goal is to help owners avoid that same frustration by giving them clarity, structure, and a deeper understanding of their dog. We believe lasting change comes from education, patience, and a relationship built on trust rather than force.
TESTIMONIALS
What Our Clients Are Saying
At Balanced K9ines, we're committed to helping you navigate the many challenges of pet ownership, from basic obedience to behavior modification. Here's what a few of our satisfied clients have to say:
"We’ve been using Balanced K9ines for over a year now… it’s made a world of difference for our high energy, leash reactive pup! She’s much calmer and easier to redirect. We work one on one with Johnny and he taught us ways to incorporate training into our daily routine- even small things can add up and make a big difference. He even comes to our house to do training, which is soooo nice because it allows us to work with our dog in her own comfort zone and really focus on the training. Would highly recommend to anyone in the Lynnwood/Edmonds area".
Stephanie Anderson
"We are having a great experience training our Standard Schnauzer with Johnny and Balanced K9ines. We got to work right away working on communication and appropriate interactions with our anxious yet confident girl. Johnny takes his time to train you just as much as the dog, offering advice even after the session. We are really excited to see our girl transforming into a happy, calm pup".
Dena Frascella
"I can not recommend Balanced K9ines enough. I had a very anxious and wild pup, who was very uncontrollable. He had severe leash reactions and separation anxiety. After working with Jaidyn, he has become much more calm. He walks much easier and is less anxious about being away from me. I truly appreciate all the help she has given me and I absolutely love working with her!"
Erin Northrop
"Jaidyn is the best! I had done puppy class and other group training classes with my dog, but nothing has helped as much as the 1-on-1 training with Jaidyn. My relationship with my dog has improved because I learned more about my dog's body language and can better advocate for him when he is nervous or scared. I've also learned ways to build my dog's confidence and he continues to grow and learn. I am very grateful for Jaidyn's support!"
