Balanced Canine
Personalized In-Home Dog Training

The PROOF is in the PUPPIES!!!

Imprinting
(2 wks to 16 wks)
The first few weeks of a puppy's life is filled with learning; intentional & unintentional learning. When we deliberately mold the experiences & behaviors of our puppies, we give them a better shot at a happy life! At BK9, we provide stimulation & training from birth to 16 weeks that is focused on heightening their intelligence, stimulating their senses and assisting them to become calm, well adjusted, easy to train canine adults.
Call or Email Us for more information on our discounts to Rescues, Fosters & Adopters.

Early Learning
(16 wks to 9 mths)
Even if you missed the imprinting window for your puppy, it's not too late. Early Learning shapes your puppy's future and helps establish the communication & bond between you. BK9 Early Learning Services provide you & your dog with the foundation you need to help your puppy become a well-rounded member of your family.
All puppies/dogs adopted from a Rescue or Shelter will receive 50% off their initial Assessment or 10% off their 1st Package of Sessions!

Puppies with a Purpose
(Preparation for Therapy, Sports & Service)
Service Dogs, Therapy Dogs and Search & Rescue Dogs are an extremely important part of our society! Puppies intended for these disciplines as well as activities such as Agility, Flyball, Hunting and other work often are discovered as diamonds in the rough, but many steps can be taken to insure your puppy has the early development opportunities to set them up for success. If you DREAM of accomplishing a particular discipline with your canine partner someday, CALL US. Let us help you find & develop your canine prodigy.
Shelters & Rescues: FREE Imprinting & Matching Sessions!
Giving Them the Future They Deserve!

Surroundings, environmental changes & experiences, in a pup's life, or a lack thereof, create & mold their character & behaviors for a lifetime. If faithfully influenced with specific stimuli, imprinting is an invaluable tool. The effects of these techniques are powerful and permanent. The properly imprinted pup is secure, balanced & well adjusted. Therefore it is especially important for puppies in shelters, rescues and foster care situations to get the proper imprinting to help counterbalance their unstable beginnings and protect them from returning to the system.
At Balanced Canine, we offer FREE imprinting services to Shelters & Rescues. We also offer single sessions or packages at 50% OFF to Shelters, Rescues and Breeders which may transfer to each pup’s adopter. This provides a placement advantage as well as peace of mind to Rescuers & Breeders alike, that their puppies will have the best possible chance of a GREAT LIFE!

"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."
