Testimonials
“Roxy is such a sweetheart and she has had a tough life, however, she is making such strides with Amanda and her crew. Roxy is stubborn, strong willed but full of anxiety with her surroundings. Once Amanda found the best training method for Roxy, she had thrived…with strong but calm and encouraging commands, Roxy is gaining confidence. I appreciate that Amanda and Kaycee took their time and found what worked best for Roxy. “And us”.

“What a difference we have seen in just 2 meetings with Amanda and Nathan. They have been patient and very professional with our 5 month old Bernie-Labradoodle that is reactive to people and other dogs.”

“We hired Amanda and Nathan to help train our new German Shepherd puppy, Bubba. Bubba was 12 weeks old when we started. Nathan’s instructions were always clear and he was very conscientious about working at our pace and never moved ahead until Bubba and I had a clear grasp of the current task. It only took about two months for Bubba to have a very clear understanding of all the basic commands. I’ve even let him off leash in public with total confidence in his recall! We started protection training at 7 months old and I love Amanda and Nathan’s approach to protection work. I don’t feel like we are creating a psycho attack dog, but are efficiently training Bubba to react appropriately to a threat, and stop the aggression when commanded to do so. Balanced Tails Montana it’s helping me and Bubba be the best that we can be! On top of that Amanda and Nathan have made all of the training fun and exciting, and they are super nice people too!”

“Amanda and Nathan have made an incredible difference in our dog Bucky's life. Before their training, Bucky was highly reactive and aggressive towards strangers and other animals. Through their time, dedication, and expertise, Bucky has transformed into a much more relaxed and happier dog. The change has been a relief for both Bucky and our family. After multiple sessions with Balanced Tails, Bucky can now walk off-leash and clearly enjoys being well-behaved. Their patient approach has not only improved Bucky's behavior but also enhanced his overall quality of life. We are immensely grateful for Amanda and Nathan's skilled guidance. Their training has turned our once-reactive pet into a content and obedient companion. We wholeheartedly recommend Balanced Tails to any dog owner seeking positive change in their pet's behavior.”

“AMAZING!!
“We were referred to Balanced Tails by our pet sitter after coming to a desperate decision with our extremely difficult and reactive 8 year old lab. Amanda and Nate are EXTREMELY knowledgeable in their field of pet behavior and training! They helped us understand our dogs reactive fearful behavior and how to respond and manage it. Given her age, we were nervous if there was any change that could come from it. After just 2 weeks of boarding/training with Amanda & Nate, we were shocked with the drastic change in behavior that was made! Our lab has never been able to be around men, kids, or other dogs and now she’s comfortable being around all 3. Mirabelle (our lab) bonded so well with their family. We can’t thank their services enough for being able to enhance the quality of our dogs life and ours as well. We plan to continue training with them to keep up the progression!”

“Amanda and Nathan are life savers. I seriously was told by other trainers to euthanize my 1 year old reactive dog. They are training him and helping save his life. I highly recommend them to everyone.”
