ONE DOG AT A TIME

Hi! I'm Maleah.

Owner and Dog Behaviorist

Welcome to Playful Balance Dog Training! I am Maleah, the owner and founder of Playful Balance. I have been working with dogs since 2018, I got my start as an apprentice for a large boarding facility that specialized in training dangerous dogs. I have also taken part in a project that involved dogs with thyroid imbalances and learned just how much hormones tie into behavior.

I train and compete with my own dogs in agility, rally and obedience, earning several High in Trial awards. I continue to compete in many sports while actively improving my skills and knowledge for higher levels of competing; as well as learning as many versatile training techniques as I can.

PROBLEM SOLVING

Our training approach is customized to your dog to focus on the specific behaviors that need work.

A Personalized and Balanced Approach to Dog Training

Dog training is an art comprised of both science and method.

Since each dog and owner combination is different, I tailor my approach to the specific dog in front of me. I only offer private lessons, which gives me the greatest ability to help you reach the training goals you have. I have experience working with the following:

  • Dog reactivity
  • New dog/household integration
  • Muzzle training
  • Leash pulling
  • Puppy basics
  • Healthy socialization
  • Grooming and handling training
  • Mild or moderate human aggression (case by case basis)
  • Separation anxiety
  • Noise sensitivity
  • Anxiety
  • Mouthing
  • Nipping and biting
  • Fence fighting
  • Recall
  • Off leash training
  • I also offer AKC Title Testing!
