Emma has been walking my dog Mia 2x a day, 4 days a week for 4 years. Emma is extremely dependable…read moreand responsible and has never missed a day or time. When Emma goes on vacation she plans way well in advance so I can make arrangements. Emma has gone the extra mile with things like having booties on hot days and winter booties on cold days and rain coats for rainy days. She always checks the food/water dishes. She always checks in after a walk and sends photos of their adventures. I prefer 80/20 20%sniff 80%exercise. Emma makes sure Mia gets her healthy fit care with lots of love, pets and positive attention. Emma helped me care for Mia after a surgery. She is SUPERIOR. You could not ask for anyone better to care for your precious beloved dog. Truly. That is a fact.

I have three little dogs and when I moved to Portland, my littles needed some extra training…read more Having had some issues from before I got them, then moving from the country to a city was a lot of change. I checked out some other trainers and none of them had the experience, patience or knowledge that Rick has. He has been great at training me to better train and understand my dogs. He has been patient with my energetic little dog, tips and ideas based on his behavior and communication style teaching me how he will help teach my other littles. Rick is always available for questions and if something isn't working, he helps me understand why and how to overcome it so we can keep moving forward with the training. While I have a great connection and love my pups, this is helping me to give them a better life so we can have better adventures. More sessions with Rick coming up and they cannot wait for their "friend" to come over.

I'm only a few sessions into training with Rick at BonesPDX, but the progress has been notable - I…read morecouldn't wait to share! His approach to dog training is backed by his deep expertise in animal behavior, including his experience as a former lead trainer at the Oregon Zoo. This unique combination makes him an exceptional choice for anyone looking to improve their dog's responsiveness, learn obedience, or master advanced skills. My high-energy Goldendoodle is already showing notable improvements. Best of all, I'm able to communicate with my dog more effectively. One of the biggest surprises? My dog who used to inhale his food at mealtime, actually asked to do training exercises and eat his dinner as the reward! That shift shows how engaged and eager he has become through Rick's positive approach and the changes I've made by learning what to do. Rick is not only a highly skilled professional dog trainer but also incredibly patient - with both my dog and me. He picks up on the tiniest cues helping me better understand my dog and is always eager to answer questions. His follow-up is outstanding, ensuring we stay on track. I highly recommend Rick. His knowledge, patience, and ability to connect with both dogs and their owners make him a stand-out in the field!

I worked with Ren with my dog, Ella. Ella was a COVID puppy, and did not get socialized as well as…read moreour first dog. We had a small community of people and friend dogs that she played with regularly, but we started to notice that she would be incredibly reactive with dogs and people she didn't know. After her first heat, we also started to see aggression (with dogs, not people) and her barking (and it was a mean bark, not a 'hey I want to meet you' bark) at people got so bad we couldn't take her anywhere where she might be within 6 feet of another person. If we were playing fetch at a park, she would bolt a solid 50 feet over to another dog and their family aggressively barking at them too. I had some knowledge about using an e-collar but wanted to do it alongside a trainer and that's when I found Ren. Ren gave me guidance on how to use both a prong and e-collar for a more balanced training approach, and provided me with drills and exercises to deal with Ella's overall anxiety and reactivity. What I appreciated most about Ren is that she took time to figure out what works best for Ella and gave me several ways to work with her instead of just one way. 2 months later I can take Ella places that weren't possible before, like inside a pet store or at a crowded park, we can walk by other dogs on a wide road, I can talk to my neighbors when we're out on walks, she can settle and STAY in her place at home when our guests bring their pup over, and she even played with another dog other than her brother after a week of pack walks and co existing indoors! Overall Ella is happier to meet strangers and I can tell she is trusting me to give her direction when she's in a situation that makes her nervous with other dogs. We are very pleased with our experience and the knowledge that Ren gave us and would recommend her 100%!

I have a doberman that I've been challenged with for a few years. She's not mean, never has gotten…read moreinto a fight but she's had a nervous problem and would not calm down and and relax. She was running around constantly and getting into trouble, stealing food. If we had company she would continually annoy everyone. This went on for several years. I was upset and not able to decide if I should find her a new home and let someone else deal with this problem. I've had other dobermans that we're easier and I have loved the breed. I spoke to Ren who was hopeful she could settle her down if we did a 5 day board and train. I agreed and she took her and worked with her. When I got her back she was a changed dog. Ren had trained her on a prong collar and also an e-collar. For the first time in years Coco listening. Ren taught me how to change my approach to Coco so she didn't return to old habits. We are doing great and she is a pleasure to have around now. She listens to commands and settles down when I tell her to. Obedience training with Balance Pack K9 Training has really helped me get control over my dog. My family is now very grateful. Thanks to Ren!

We recently moved from Portland but Darcy is at the top of the list of people that we miss... because of the care, attention, and love that she showed to our pets as well as her wonderful personality and quick wit!
