SIMPLY BALANCED K9
The Future of Human-Canine Connection
DOG TRAINING- REVOLUTIONIZED
WE PRIORITIZE WHAT TRULY MATTERS: THE BOND WE SHARE WITH OUR DOGS!
We are Eastern NC's premier puppy trainers and the nation's first Pupologists, REVOLUTIONIZING THE WAY WE RAISE OUR PUPS FOR THE BETTER! We are moving away from outdated methods of command and control, and instead, we emphasize: CUES, COMMUNICATION, and COLLABORATION.
Many of us feel overwhelmed by the traditional methods of raising our dogs, often frustrated by resources that only teach us to manage them in ways that minimize conflict with our families and homes. SBK-9 is leading the charge with a new approach to dog training we call PUPOLOGY.
Our goal is to empower dog owners by educating them about their pets' needs for happiness. Say goodbye to unwanted behaviors that can lead to rehoming or frustration, and hello to the dog you've always envisioned. Pupology is a lifestyle where we don’t ‘command’; we ‘cue’, we don’t 'train'; we teach, and we don’t 'command'; we communicate. It’s about building a balanced and harmonious relationship with your dog by breaking down the human-canine language barrier. Our pups cannot comprehend human language, so we must establish a communication method they understand. By eliminating this barrier, we equip owners with the knowledge to speak "dog" and transform the experience of living with our furry friends. As we like to say, "We are the Lorax for dogs," advocating for the voices they truly deserve.
