We also saw the need to provide educated, balanced dog training, with Trainers that are not only educated, down to earth and practical, but also proven in the dog world.
The majority of our clients are from the South Surrey/White Rock area, but we also have many clients from Vancouver, Langley and even as far as Chilliwack. Our clients are very loyal and we have plenty of repeat clients, some on their third/fourth dog!
Shelley has the experience and connection with dogs that allows her to consistently shape good behaviour and then pass that knowledge along to their owner. Obedience, leash training, house training, raising a puppy, aggression issues are all common issues she can help you with, but she has also helped to rehabilitate many dogs whose owners were at the end of their rope and turned to her as a last resort.
My husband and I started out with private sessions with Shelley and I ended up taking her classes when she opened Balanced Canine in South Surrey. To this day, I am still taking her classes. She does an excellent job of pulling together her experience, expertise, and knowledge into a fun and informative class. Because of her passion, she’s developed her own style and has transferred that energy into her classes providing us something new for every class that I have taken. She is never afraid to learn and try something new which is a sign of a good teacher.
My Aussie Rebus and I have spent four years and half years with Shelley. As Aussies go, Rebus was over the top and I had thought about giving him to a more experienced handler. Shelley's "interventions" with me and her training with Rebus led to a happy health dog and a very happy and confident owner. Shelley doesn't just know dogs, she knows dog breeds and behaviour. I couldn't be happier and without a doubt would entrust any dog to her - but particularly those hard to manage puppies.
I have been a loyal client of Balance Canine for 5 years. We required Shelley's services and expertise when our German Shepherd was just 5 months old. I literally was ready to march our boy back to breeder; however I knew this was something I just couldn't do. I needed help and Shelley promptly came to my rescue. We started with private training where she could observe first hand the unwanted behaviors. We then progressed to dog board and train. Shelley's dog board and train program is an excellent option for those who require additional help and may not have the time to dedicate to training. This program has great value for an owner. We have also attended her puppy, Intermediate and Advanced training classes.
