ABOUT THE BALANCED CANINE
Our Instructor
My name is Ashley and I am the owner and trainer at The Balanced Canine. I took an interest in training after adopting my first dog at the age of 18. He was an obnoxious Pit bull mix that needed high amounts of exercise and structure. At 20, I took in my first GSP as a rescue/re-home and that sparked both a passion for the breed and for training. I have been working obedience with my dogs since. In 2014 I started taking classes at a local training facility and started doing Conformation Dog Shows. I began assisting with classes by 2017 and was a full instructor by 2018. I am the President of a local training facility and teach an average of 10 group classes a week. When I'm not helping others train their dogs, I'm working with my own dogs towards competing in a variety of venues such as Conformation, Rally, Obedience, Comp Obedience and Hunt Tests. I currently own 8 German Shorthaired Pointers and compete with them all. I firmly believe in having structure and consistent rules/guidelines for your pet but also keeping things fun and engaging. Communication is the most important thing when working with your dog on your training journey and I can't wait to help owner's "speak dog".
