The Balanced K9
Dog Training
Hi, I’m Rachael and I am so glad you’re here! TBK9 is for owners who love their dogs but not necessarily their behaviors! Located in Columbus, Ohio, I offer a variety of training options, from private lessons to Fetch-and-Train packages! I want to help you transform your relationship with your dog.
I train basic obedience, mild behavior modification, impulse control, leash walking and more! I also offer e-collar training.
Let me help you develop the most precious connection you can have with your dog.

The Balanced K9
Dog Training
What is balanced training?
In simplest terms, or should I say, in my terms...
I use “pressure”-- whether with the leash or body (spatial) pressure in my training. I am also trained and open to the use of other tools, such as e-collars and prong collars.
I use a mixture of positive reinforcement and aversive techniques. However, I’m always fair and compassionate with the dogs I work with. I will never force a dog to do something he or she doesn’t want to do. My goal is to give the dog and owner the BEST chance at a balanced, happy and healthy life!
