About Balanced Pack K9 Training

Balanced training in Portland

Balanced Pack K9 Training is run by Ren, who offers balanced dog training in Portland using "the four quadrants of operant conditioning" to show dogs precisely which behaviors are wanted and unwanted. Ren helps with leash reactivity, pulling on walks, unwanted behaviors and e-collar training, and describes balanced training as the most effective way to move dogs into a calm state of mind.

Services

Ren offers private lessons, board and train programs and virtual Zoom consultations in Portland, starting with a free 20-minute consultation. The 90-minute online course Calm On Command teaches gentle leash pressure techniques, conditioning a dog to a prong collar or slip lead, the heel command and real-world stay work, and includes an ebook and optional one-on-one Zoom calls.

Background

Ren has studied with trainers including Cheri Lucas, Sean O'Shea and Jeff Gellman, brings an extensive background in training horses, and holds a Masters of Divinity degree from the Graduate Theological Union.
