Dog Training
Portland, OR
Balanced Pack K9 Training, run by Ren Marshall, specializes in balanced dog training using operant conditioning techniques to address behavioral issues like leash reactivity, pulling, aggression, jumping, and resource guarding. Ren offers in-person private lessons, board-and-train programs, in-home training, and virtual coaching across the Portland metro area. With training experience under world-renowned balanced trainers and a background in horseback training and crisis intervention, Ren focuses on moving anxious dogs into calm, balanced states where owners can enjoy their pets and reduce dangerous behaviors.
Ideal for: Dog owners struggling with behavioral issues after positive-reinforcement training hasn't worked, owners with anxious or reactive dogs, people needing board-and-train programs for intensive rehabilitation
Service area: Portland, Oregon and surrounding communities including Beaverton, Gresham, and Vancouver, WA
Balanced Training Methodology: Uses all four quadrants of operant conditioning rather than positive-reinforcement-only methods, helping dogs achieve calm, balanced states and resolving issues that other approaches haven't solved.

Expert Training Lineage: Trained under world-famous balanced dog trainers including Cheri Lucas (Cesar Millan collaborator), Sean O'Shea (The Good Dog), and Jeff Gellman (Solid K9 Training), plus extensive horseback training background applied to dog psychology.
