Not all dog breeds are the same!

Some breeds will simply be easier to handle than others. Other breeds will challenge you, make you question your ability, and possibly even drive you crazy!

Miss Nora, a blue healer (aka Australian Cattle Dog) is a fine example of these high drive, super intelligent, working breeds that require consistency in all aspects of her world.

Sibblings Sunday!

Whomever said “You can’t teach an old dog new tricks!” was only putting limits on themselves, not the dog!

Mr Eddy (on the right) is 12 years old and is a quick study, helping his younger sibling Mr. Louis (3 years old) catch on to new concepts.

Meet Aloka a dog with her own purpose!

Meet Aloka a dog with her own purpose!

Aloka is the gentle dog who quietly joined a group of Buddhist monks on their Walk for Peace.
She wasn’t trained. She wasn’t owned.
She simply chose to walk alongside them.

Day after day, Aloka moved at their pace—resting when they rested, walking when they walked—becoming a living symbol of compassion, trust, and calm. Her name, Aloka, means “light”, and many believe she truly embodied it on the road.

This wasn’t about fame or commands.
It was about different beings sharing one peaceful path.

Sometimes, peace doesn’t speak.
It just walks—on four legs.

Motivational Monday!

As we all focus on resolutions and self
Improvements this time of year, we should also possibly consider some lifestyle changes for our pets.

The breed standards outlined in the American Kennel Club or Canadian Kennel Club are good references for ideal weight, height and more!

Did you know…

“ A 12lb Yorkie is the equivalent weight of an average human female weighting 218lb”

Or

“A 90lb female Labrador Retreiver is equal to a 217lb male, 5’9”!”

I’ll send a link in the comments to test your breed.

Happy New Year!

While we’ve been quiet on social media and delayed lessons over the holidays to spend quality time with friends and family; it’s still been crazy busy in the Doghouse!

These graduated clients took advantage of our private boarding services so their owners could get last minute shopping done, get away to family, have a southern escape, or attend Holiday events, etc!

Wishing all you peeps & pooches the very best in 2026!

It’s Nanna’s “GOTCHA” Day at the Balanced Doghouse!

Back in 2020 not only did we become a Christmas puppy statistic, we also fell into a pattern that would become “Covid puppies”!

Dogs are a life long commitment! Please do not get a pup for someone without their knowledge or permission.

Pets are family & not disposable!
