Everyone welcome Rue to the Balanced Mind K9 family! This adorably strong-willed girl is here for her Puppy Primary School Program to learn all of her on leash basic commands and manners, plus the most needed exercise of the all… calm on command! Rue is always on the move and ready for action, so naturally she needs to learn some doggy yoga so she can chill with the family much easier during her down time. Can’t wait to get started!

Bet you didn’t know that we also teach choreographed dance routines at this wonderful doggy school! Piper, the dance master extraordinaire, has taken on Tank as her newest dance student, and boy does she have a challenge on her paws! Here we see her giving her best effort to give him direction, while keeping him focused on the task at hand. Tank definitely has a lot more lessons ahead of him, but Piper said she can whip any dog into shape, even if it’s a challenge at first! 😂 Sassy Piper to the dance rescue!

Such a handsome boy ❤️ We went on one more field trip before he heads home for his graduation session! Definitely proud of this boy in all he has accomplished since attending doggy school. Now that he has a good foundation built, continuing the success at home should be much easier as he grows up…. and growing… and growing… aaaaaannddd growing! 😂

It’s International Sheltie Day! In honor of this glorious day, we have some wonderful pics of our boy, Kohaku, at the drift track doing what he does best! He’s the best little companion, loves adventures of any kind, and is always ready to make new friends, especially if they have a yummy treat for him 😂 This little boy means a lot to the Balanced Mind K9 crew, even if he can be a whole lot of energy and zoomies packed into a tiny body. ❤️ 🐕 🦴

Quick message from Willie, the official ball inspector at Balanced Mind K9!

“Checking to make sure your fetching equipment is in good working order is a hard job, but I am up for the challenge! No matter the use, material, size, or added features a ball comes with, you need to do regular inspections to make sure it’s safe, fun, and appropriately dirty and up to doggy code. If it’s not, then chuck it in the bin! (Trash bin that is!) Dogs deserve the best quality of fetching options, so don’t let those hoomans fool you into believing the toys they buy are automatically worthy of your fetching time! Be picky and have fun! And always remember the saying “ball is life!”. Now back to working hard while hardly working!”

Tongue out Tuesday with Enzo! Today was a busy day of playing, socializing, and training for the pups! Enzo worked on his off leash recall with distance in the training field, having a blast and moving fast! 😂 he definitely was thinking “I am speed” while he practiced his recall. Got some cute shots of this amazing boy as well. So crazy how fast they grow up!

Cali, Bash, & Indy in Secondary School!

Cali, Bash, and Indy enrolled in our Secondary School Program to learn manners and listening skills at home, while also getting in some socialization with other dogs. They have learned a TON about keeping a calmer mind around distractions, so naturally we like to give them some down time with their buddies while using some training in the mix. Enjoy! #balancedmindk9 #calmconfidentcompanions #puppytraining #puppyprimaryschool #doggysecondaryschool #doggycollege #doggydegree #dogeducation #trainingisforlife #trainingmakesthedifference #trainingmakeschampions #dogtraining2024 #boardandtrainprogram #boardandtrain #dogtrainingisfun #traininggivesconfidence #buildingconfidence #dogtrainingadventures #fenchietraining #frenchiesofinstagram #pupsintraining #pupsintrucks #balanceddogtraining #clickertraining #offleashtraining #ecollartrainingdoneright #ecollarequalsfreedom #dogsocialization #puppysocialization #pupsofinstagram

The weather is getting nicer so more trips to the park for some fun with the pups are in order! This is Haku and Yor's first time coming to this park, so we had a blast showing them some of the fun we could have while exploring! Check them out learning a new skill for the first time! Who do you think did it better?!

Alice is back for a training refresher while her family is on vacation! She’s grown quite a bit since seeing her last!

About Me

Hello, I'm Jodi! I have been training professionally since 2009, though most of my life I have spent in the company of dogs. I spent most of my days as a child in the woods hiking with my family and reading every animal related book that I could get my hands on. When I was 12 years old I discovered my love for training when I read a book on dog obedience. I soon applied what I had learned to an 8-week old Beagle puppy that we adopted from the animal shelter to become our family dog. I mastered everything in the books that I read, as well as threw in some funny little tricks that I saw the dogs on TV shows performing. I was convinced that my dog would someday get to be on television showing off all the things that I taught her. I continued this passion throughout college, graduating from Northern Kentucky University while training dogs full time. While going through the motions of being in the training profession, I also adopted a few dogs along the way.

The dog that changed my life was Killian, my Shetland Sheepdog. He was handed down to me by his original owner. She explained to me that due to her not having the time or the energy to solve his many behavioral quirks, she was going to have to take him to the shelter to be dropped off. He was what trainers call “highly reactive” around children, men, other animals, cars, and many other situations that were new to me. I went through my fair share of unbelievable successes, extreme failures, and many other stressful moments while training this deemed “aggressive” dog. I thought I knew a lot about training dogs before, but he made me realize that there is always room to learn new things. To this day he is my sidekick for any adventure, my guardian, and my best friend that I could ever ask for.

I have years of experience training group classes in obedience and therapy work, as well as private classes to meet the specific needs of the family and their canine. I have worked anywhere from a corporate pet store as their Senior Trainer, to being one of many highly skilled trainers at a public board and train facility. My overall goal is to utilize multiple tools and training methods for the dog that is in front of me. Due to having worked with countless breeds and ages, I realize that every dog has different needs and I like to apply what works for each dog individually to get the best results.
