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.

Paige is who you want if you're looking for a dog trainer that is knowledgeable with an abundance of patience for both the human and the dog. Paige is a great communicator. She took time and listened to us. Then she shared her thoughts and suggestions to meet what our dog really needed.
After adopting a standard poodle that came from a challenging background, I realized that it was above my skill level to train her myself. Our poor dog had all kinds of anxieties; she was socially awkward, and her leash skills were a challenge with barking and pulling. After talking to a few trainers that did not make us comfortable. Then we found Paige!!!
Paige’s help and expertise made a change in our family's life for the better. Our dog is still is a work in progress but the progress has been positive and successful. Our walks are pleasant, she goes to daycare and this week we went twice to an outdoor café with other dogs, and our girl was excellent. I could not give Paige enough stars or a bigger recommendation.

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!

We had a wonderful experience with our puppy trainer! She was knowledgeable, patient, and took the time to really listen to what we wanted to focus on during our puppy’s training. She introduced us to different training tools and techniques that were incredibly helpful and easy to implement at home.

The results have been amazing. Our puppy is so well behaved, and we’ve noticed such a big difference in her confidence and manners. My husband even took her to work with him, and everyone commented on how well behaved she was!

We’re so grateful for all of her guidance and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trainer who truly cares about helping both you and your dog succeed.

Paige is truly exceptional at what she does. I came to her with a very high-energy GSD puppy and was feeling overwhelmed, but she worked absolute magic with him. The transformation in just two weeks was incredible. What really sets her apart, though, is her continued support—she’s checked in consistently and helped guide us as we’ve reinforced training at home. I can’t recommend Paige enough for any type of training. She’s simply the best!

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
