I took my Belgian Malinois (which is a whole lot of dog!) to Barkers in Balance and found puppy class to be an excellent foundation for both myself and therefore my dog. Julie was excellent at reading the room, adjusting the class to suit the cohort and mixing things up to set everyone up for success. Additional information was provided every step of the way and again responsive to the needs of the group. I thought the location was a too small to begin with but by week 2 I could see how it was actually perfect for socialising Nina and giving me the confidence to be up close and personal with others with the proper behaviours in place. We are both looking forward to the Good Manners course ☺️ Thank you Julie and Ebony

Julie was knowledgeable, positive and passionate about teaching both pups and owners the base training techniques and had so many wonderful suggestions. We’ll definitely be back for more!

Barkers in Balance has been a huge part of our journey with Oats since he was a puppy, and thanks to their training and guidance, he’s now officially an assistance dog. Annette goes above and beyond and genuinely invests in Oats success and wellbeing. Her calm, knowledgeable approach has helped us navigate everything from puppy basics to advanced public access and task training. We honestly couldn’t recommend Annette and Barkers in Balance more highly. Oats wouldn’t be where he is today without her.
