Moments with Brian
Moments With Brian is a collection of extended narratives and is a companion series to the short-form videos I post on social media. Explore this series to go in-depth on a variety of topics inspired by a wide range of conversations, interactions, and experiences.
Live Analysis
Members can submit short videos of their dog’s problematic behavior for a chance to be featured on Live Video Analysis, one of two online offerings for Balanced Dog members.
Foundations
The Foundation features a wide selection of instructional videos that make up the core of The Balanced Dog work. Start here and come back from time to time to check for new content and refresh your fundamental knowledge.
Case Studies
From time to time I work with dogs on an extended basis and am able to analyze their behavior in a way that allows me to present them as Case Studies. Visit this section to check in on each dog’s journey, and watch them grow.
Beyond Basics
Beyond Basics takes a nuanced look at training fundamentals. Often while working on the essentials, a dog will present behavior that requires fine-tuning and a more dialed-in approach.
Troubleshooting Tuesday
Troubleshooting Tuesday is a library built from recordings of one of our exclusive online offerings. Geared toward problem solving, these sessions offer members the chance to go live and have a detailed dialogue in order to work out the kinks of their dog’s behavior.
