Are you sometimes frustrated by your dog’s lack of focus? Does your dog not really listen to you, or do your walks suck?
Many people misunderstand how to really train dogs. A dog that actually listens to you in real world situations when you need it most.
That’s why so many of my clients come to me frustrated and at the end of their rope. I have spend the last decade figuring out the best methods for dog training that help people go from their dog being out of control, to being in harmony with them. This prong collar conditioning course will give you the freedom you’re looking for without you having to do a ton of confusing research online.
I have all of the information here to get started. Book a Zoom consultation with me too if you want some extra accountability and support.
But what if you’ve hesitated about using a prong collar or have heard bad things about it?
I explain how to do this work gently, so you can properly condition them in a way that brings ease and freedom. You can even do this course with a slip-lead and some of the exercises with a regular collar and leash.
You’ll get a lot of juice out of this course no matter what tools/collars you’re using.
Many of my clients have been able to increase their communication skills with with their dogs enabling them to take their dogs out in public. That is so huge! So many people struggle with out of control dogs. Don’t be one of them, you can change things around starting today.

The techniques I teach in this course are what I initially teach ALL of my clients who work with me for dog training in Portland, Oregon.
Years ago, I was struggling with my crazy dog and his leash reactivity. I dreaded walks. It really sucked walking my dog because he was all over the place, barking at everyone and basically, he was walking me.
I eventually learned how to calm that maniac down with a prong collar and these techniques. Now walks are a breeze and he listens really well.
This is a self-paced online course is the solution. It focuses on how to effectively use a prong collar, but you can also use a slip-lead or regular collar to do this course. The exercises I teach will give you some real power no matter what collar you use.
This is a foundational course that will give you a ton of helpful information on dog psychology and dog training.

EXCELLENT Based on 29 reviews Posted on Mimi YanTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Best dog training in Portland, with effective approaches toward behavioral issues and puppy training.Posted on Purple GimpTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My husband and I tried *everything* to get our Labradoodle, Luna, to calm down enough to be able to take her on walks, and to the dog park, and other places, but she saw every person, dog, car, and truck, and even leaves, as an immediate threat. She would go from sweet to crazy at the drop of a hat, and taking her anywhere was so stressful we finally stopped trying until a good friend told us about Ren, and her incredible affinity with dogs. To say she's changed our lives would be a vast understatement. Not only has Ren helped Luna understand that it's not her job to try and alert, and defend, to everything in the universe, but Ren also worked patiently with us, and helped us learn the tools we needed to create, and reinforce, a positive, healthy, relationship, with Luna. It's like she's a completely different dog now. She is so much happier, and we're definitely happier too. We can't thank Ren, and Balanced Pack K9 Tra🐕ining, enough. Take a leap of faith and reach out to her if you're ready to change your relationship with your dog in a way that brings happier, less stressful, days to all of you. You'll be glad you did. Thanks, Ren. Luna says hi. 😊 🐕 😊Posted on Kevin ColeTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We’re so happy we found Ren and got her to help us. Our beloved Otis was very much in need of behavioral guidance and she provided it with clear, direct advice and training methods. Actually, in many ways, my wife and I needed the training as much as he did. Ren gave us the tools and insights we need to help him become a more obedient pet, and a happier one, too. We were very impressed with her knowledge and experience, and her innate dog sense. Our relationship with Otis has definitely changed for the better, and we are well on our way to becoming a truly “balanced pack.” And if and when we need more help we know where to turn. We highly recommend Ren!Posted on Colleen WrightTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We adopted a 3 year old, surrendered Saint Bernard who had not had any socialization or training, and had severe anxiety and dog reactivity issues. We worked with 2 different trainers who solely used positive reinforcement techniques, which helped a little but not enough with our big girl. After a year, I was at my breaking point. Nessie had pulled me off my feet and dragged me down the sidewalk, she lunged at a small child on the other side of the street because in the dim dusk light she thought it was a dog, I pulled my knee out twice when she dragged me down the street. Walks were stressful and I found myself angry at Nessie all the time. I was considering rehoming her. And then I started researching e-collar training and found Ren. In just 3 weeks, Nessie no longer reacts to other dogs. She heels and doesn't pull me down the street. She listens to commands and doesn't ignore me. Yesterday, I took her to a community event for the first time and she not only behaved herself perfectly with the other dogs and people, but while we ate she laid down, didn't beg us for food, and didn't try to climb up on the table. She is becoming the dog I was hoping for. I wish I would have started with Ren in the first place, I regret listening to all those naysayers about e-collar training. It works! And we are all much happier with each other as a result. I can't recommend Ren enough!Posted on Max LewisTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Ren is a true gem in the world of dog training, deserving nothing short of a glowing 5-star review. Her compassion and thoughtfulness are unparalleled, evident in every session my partner and I had with her. Ren's unique background as a chaplain brings an extraordinary depth to her approach. She intuitively understands not only the needs of our sweet boy, Dexter, but also our emotional needs as dog parents in dealing with a reactive dog. Ren helped us confirm that Dexter is, indeed, a particularly challenging dog, which REALLY helped with our sanity in questioning our own actions. It’s hard not to blame yourself when you’ve tried so many different tactics in dog training and haven't gotten any results. The transformation we've witnessed is nothing short of remarkable. While he's still on his journey, the progress is tangible. The instances where Dexter walks by other dogs without reacting are becoming more and more frequent. Let this be a testament to Ren's effective methods and dedication! What sets Ren apart is her holistic approach to training, considering not just the dog's behavior but also the emotional dynamics of the human-canine relationship. Her ability to blend expertise with genuine care is a game-changer. We're immensely grateful for the positive impact Ren has had on Dexter and our lives as dog parents. If you're seeking a compassionate, thoughtful, and highly effective canine coach, Ren is the absolute best choice.Posted on Tyler ShipleyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Ren is amazing! Ren had our dog for the two week board and train program and the pup that came out of the program was a totally different dog - calmer, no pulling, focused on us, and more. Even more importantly, Ren trained and taught us what we needed to be doing and why, her instructions helped us be the owners our dog needed and I use her teachings every day! We are very active outdoors and wanted to be able have a mutual trust that our dog wouldn’t run off and would be safe in outdoor spaces where he’s permitted to be off leash. Because of Ren, shrimp gets to enjoy a life of freedom camping, fishing, and hiking! Can you believe that we can fly fish and he will watch from the bank? We are constantly impressed by him and it’s because of Ren! Highly recommend!Posted on Katie WoodTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Ren and her training program has been a game changer for our family. Our dog is now a well behaved dog who knows how to act in all situations. We as a family also learned how to handle our dog in a manner that helps him understand who the leader is. We started seeing improvement after the first lesson. If you’re looking for someone to help teach your dog how to follow commands and behave this is your trainer! She is kind, thorough, and the dogs respect her instantly. We learned so much and so did our dog!Posted on Becca MartinTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Ren is AMAZING! Our dog Moose was very leash reactive, an anxious mess, and very hyper vigilant of all things going on. We could not even take him for walks. We have been to multiple vets, trainers, and even a certified vet behaviorist. He didn’t respond well to the training and the behaviorist just gave us meds and basically said “avoid everything”. To be honest, we were very nervous to do a board and train for Moose as he is already highly anxious, but after speaking with Ren, we decided it would be good for him. She walked us through what it would look like for Moose and kept us updated each day. By day 3, Moose went to a thrift store with Ren and I COULD NOT believe that even happened! Never in a million years would I thought Moose could go to a store, but Ren did that! He has been a CHANGED dog since he came home. We can now take him on walks, he has a much less anxious demeanor, and he is listening to commands 1000 times better. Yes, we are putting in a lot of work to keep up with what Ren taught him (and us), but she is a million times worth it as she laid a solid foundation for Moose and gave my husband and I the knowledge and tools to be able to handle and continue training Moose. Moose is still the same sweet dog that he was before his training, but is now much calmer and more manageable. We cannot recommend her enough.Posted on Bethany ErhardtTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My partner and I could not recommend Ren more! We have a very anxious and fence reactive dog, and Ren was able to teach us the skills to manage his anxiety. When Ren came to the first session, we could barely talk with her because our dog was barking so much. After that session, he was a complete angel around her - she really knows her stuff! We learned that most of his challenges were due to our lack of structure and boundaries, and now we know how to be effective pack leaders! We couldn’t believe our dog’s skills by the last session and we’re so excited to continue working with him now that Ren has taught us how. 10/10 recommend for anyone with an anxious, reactive, or difficult dog! Ren is also incredible and really took the time to teach us the psychology behind each skill, which we appreciated 😊Posted on Brittany van der SalmTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Ren really helped us with our newer dog who needed the right kind of training to stay, lay down, crate, and on recall. Other trainings did not help us as quickly or effectively as her methods have. We are so grateful!
