Begin Balanced

Juliana is amazing.
She truly cares for your dogs. She took care of my two dogs, one of them with special needs and it was wonderful. I could have not been more at ease. She sent me updates on how they were doing, photos and video. She goes above and beyond. I highly recommend her.

Everywhere I go with my 2 year old boxer named Rudi, I get compliments on how well behaved she is. She is very responsive to my commands and plays great off leash with other dogs. I love that in my home she is aware of her boundaries and is respectful of my things. I couldn’t have raised such a well behaved dog without Juliana’s help. Juliana took care of Rudi’s behavioral problems while she was still a puppy; not giving any time to form bad habits. Basing her training methods on positive reinforcement and an abundance of knowledge in each dog breed, she caters a training plan that works for you and your dog. Juliana explained to me in detail the learning process of a puppy and helped form commands that were easy for me and my puppy to remember. Rudi is now 2 years old and an amazing dog.
This year Rudi and I moved in with my partner and 4 of his adult rescue Basenji’s. I had no idea what I was getting myself into. These dogs had been ruling my partner’s home for years, chewing on furniture, and had no respect for anyone or anything. The Basenji’s had rule of the home until I called Juliana again. It was really impressive to see her work with full grown dogs that have had behavioral issues for years. She remained patient and determined to fix each issue as fast as possible. My biggest concern was their aggression towards Rudi. Juliana informed me about the basenji breed and their pack drive, and poor Rudi was at the bottom of the pack. The doggy door was a huge issue. All 4 basenjis would attack Rudi if she tried to go in or out the doggy door. Juliana set up realistic training scenarios that corrected each issue by positive reinforcement and addressed each of my concerns in a timely manner. Juliana saved my relationship by alleviating the stresses the dogs were putting on me and Rudi. I understand the mantra behind Juliana’s methods. I truly am living a balanced lifestyle with me and my now 5 well behaved dogs.“
Thank you Juliana,

Where do I start with positive things? Juliana is wonderful. As a dog mom, it is tough to leave your pup with just anyone. While I was on vacation Julianna sent me frequent updates about Ollie. She was responsible, organized, and truly gave me a sense of relief that my dog was in good hands. There’s a difference between watching/​pet sitting an animal and truly engaging with an animal and she does the latter. Will absolutely keep in touch for the future.
