About
I’ve dedicated my life to the love of all animals. As soon as I could, I entered the professional environment to furthering my knowledge. I have 8+ years of being a bather/groomers assistant, enrichment play and boarding professional. I’ve attended Animal Behavior college and graduated with honors with 2 plus years of being a professional trainer. I’ve interned under numerous trainers with 20 plus years experience. My rounded knowledge and experience will be able to help you not just train your dog but help you understand them as well. My passion is working with shy/scared dogs to help them build confidence and feel comfortable in their environment and enjoy life more, as I’ve done with my own rescue dog who now holds her tail high and is happy to welcome pets and love from all.

We adopted a 1.5 year old pit bull and not knowing his history, we wanted to get some good training in, and to have a professional assess him. Paige and Chris both responded within minutes of submitting our information and answered what seemed to be endless amounts of questions from us. We had some pretty simple goals, but were having trouble getting our training to take hold. Paige took Loki for a 2 week boot-camp style training where they work on our stated goals. On every aspect, Loki is much better. Balanced Life (and Paige in particular) did a great job communicating to us throughout and showing us how to approach each task or command. Upon pick-up, we got a really in-depth training ourselves. Training that will help us to help Loki be his best. Thank you for your great work!

I love working with Balanced Life! They are so patient with my dog and not only does my dog get training but I get the knowledge to continue training my dog, and the tools. I had the pleasure of working with Paige. She is so sweet and professional. She is very knowledgeable about dogs and listens. Thank you

We’ve had such a great experience with Paige from Balance Life Training! She’s super professional, easy to work with, and always quick to respond to texts and emails. Since working with her, Kody’s behavior has really improved—especially on walks. He’s much more calm and focused now, and he’s picking up on basic commands really well. Paige is great at explaining things and keeps communication open, which has made the whole process feel really smooth and supportive. Highly recommend her if you’re looking for a trainer who truly cares and knows what they’re doing!

Paige is the absolute best! I wouldn’t trust my animals in anyone else’s hands. She’s helped my 16 month old goldendoodle how to be a respectful, polite dog, both on leash and off leash, which may I say, was not an easy task. I didn’t know anything leading into our training session and after the first one I felt confident in the skills she provided us to work on and the information she went over with us. I would 1000% recommend her to anyone and everyone! We still go to her for follow up lessons, and I would trust her to watch my girl anytime!

We have a small farm and Paige was able to pick-up the tasks quickly and execute reliably. She kept us updated so we did not have to worry and could enjoy our vacation. We highly recommend her.
