Well Balanced Dogs is a rescue service, but also offers training for behavioral problems in all dogs. The training is provided in home or the dog can come to the farm and be evaluated and rehabilitated with my pack.

By nature, all dogs are facultative carnivores, thriving on a varied diet of meats with smaller amounts of fruits, vegetables and grasses and biologically adapted to metabolize proteins and fats - not carbohydrates - as an energy source.
High-protein and low-carbohydrate, ORIJEN ADULT's grain-free formula replicates the same rich balance of meats, fruits, vegetables and grasses that dogs would encounter in a wilderness setting.
Made with the highest inclusions of fresh grain-fed chicken meat, wild-caught northern whitefish and fresh whole eggs, ORIJEN is bursting with the protein-packed, veterinary-inspected meats (minimum 70%) that form a Biologically Appropriate diet,—and none of the grains or carbohydrates that are inappropriate for your dog.Instead of grain, ORIJEN contains a full complement of regional fruits and vegetables (minimum 30%) that supply important natural antioxidants and phytochemicals. Chicken, flax, sunflower, salmon and anchovy oils provide the essential fatty acids that dogs cannot produce themselves (including DHA and EPA) and are so important to nutritionally support the development of cell membranes, immune systems and a vibrant skin and hair coat.
Bridging the gap between good nutrition and total physical well-being, ORIJEN Adult contains native botanicals that include marshmallow, burdock and chicory root, stinging nettle and milk thistle,— all of which replicate the natural canine diet and help to soothe, nourish and tone the digestive tract, strengthen the liver and control insulin levels.
Check our ingredients and we think you’ll agree: Biologically Appropriate ORIJEN is a natural and delicious way to ensure the health and vitality of your Adult dog - no matter what his breed, age or size.
Well Balanced Dogs is currently in the process of becoming a non-profit organization. Currently I work with Oregon Humane Society and many other animal shelters taking in and evaluating rescue dogs with behavioral issues and placing them in the appropriate environment. We are currently looking to purchase land to build and expand our facility. Focusing on enrichment of the dogs, and education of the owners. This is including water therapy, herding, indoor and outdoor dog playgrounds. Room for a Sanctuary for the dogs that need to have a long term home. Also an education facility for the public and for clients that are pack leaders in training with their dogs that need socialization learn how to be a happy balanced dog.
