Group Training
Socialization With Other Dogs
At Pack in Balance, group training isn’t just about commands — it’s about giving dogs real-world experiences that prepare them for everyday life. Melissa’s behaviorist approach uses special group lessons, urban walks, and busy park sessions to help dogs work through reactivity, distractions, and real challenges.
In these sessions, your dog builds confidence, impulse control, and social skills that create a well-rounded companion. At the same time, you’ll gain tools to understand and guide your dog more effectively, while connecting with other owners who share the same goals. These classes strengthen both ends of the leash, creating balance for the whole pack.
Not Sure Where To Start Your Training?
Begin with a complimentary phone consultation designed to understand your dog’s behavior, your training goals, and your household dynamics. This assessment allows Melissa to recommend the most effective training program tailored to your needs and your budget, ensuring you and your dog start off on the right path.
