"The Balanced Canine Program was drawn from my insatiable commitment to balancing leadership with freedom. Leadership, not control. Freedom; not that wild, chaotic sort but freedom created by allowance and acceptance of individuality. Many years of study and experience have gone into the development of my Balanced Canine techniques, philosophies & programs. Numerous teachers have greatly influenced my perspective. But of all of my many teachers, the ones who have played the most active role are my canine and equine family and my amazing clients over the years. Through direct and daily experience, these marvelous creatures have changed my life. At times, I believe they have sustained my life. There is no greater gift than that of unconditional love. It is my sincere goal in life to assist others in finding, nurturing and fully appreciating the love and connection they can create and the many benefits they can reap from managing a healthy and compassionate human-canine relationship."

~D. Hassler, Fort Collins, CO
"I am writing this letter to provide my highest recommendation for Gwendy Joysen's K9 education & assessment services. I was extremely impressed with her knowledge & ability to accurately evaluate each of those 6 wk old puppies! Over the weeks we worked with Gwendy, I was continually impressed with her ability not only to provide personalized training for our puppy, but for her ability to train us too! As a result, we have a very well behaved 6 mth old puppy that is a joy to be around."
