About My Business

My business began, grew, and morphed out of my respect for all animals. I have always lived around and cared for a variety of animals.

Growing up in the WI countryside, I helped with chickens and rabbits. We always had cats and dogs around too. Going to USF in Tampa, I worked at Busch Gardens in the zoological education department. It was there that I learned how to care for exotic species. Moving to the PNW, I volunteered at Woodland Park Zoo and the Seattle Aquarium.

In order to work closer to home, I started walking neighbor's dogs in 2012. My dog-knowledge grew by being certified in Canine Studies through the Northwest School of Canine Studies in 2018. My business, Balanced Behavior Dog Training, LLC opened in 2019. It provides one-on-one training for canine nuisance or even challenging behaviors.

Although I will get to know your pet's personality better while caring for them, I will also be able to understand how they are feeling at the initial meet and greet. Animal body language is an essential part of taking care of every species.

I've continued my education with a membership in the Pet Professional Guild. This year, I earned Professional Pet Sitter certifications through Pet Sitters International and PetSittersCourse.com.

Positive, enriching, fear-free methods is how I care for animals.

What my clients say:

"We can't recommend Bonnie enough! She did an amazing job housesitting for our pup and home. In fact, our house was cleaner upon our arrival home than when we left. Yay! Bonnie kept detailed notes about her interactions with our dog and sent photos throughout the trip. Top notch and she really does love animals. We'll definitely be using her again. 5 starts (10 stars if allowed ;-)"

—Debbie and Lon Turner

"We have used Bonnie in the past for training but more recently to help take care of our pup and home while we were traveling overseas. Bonnie was fantastic in her communication and keeping us updated on how our pup was doing and helped her (and us) to not have anxiety issues while we were gone for the first time! We will certainly use Bonnie again when we travel, and we'd recommend her highly!"
