Frank Ortiz has been working in the animal world since 2012. In his first he was trained as a veterinary assistant, but his passion for dogs extended beyond the medical aspect. He knew he could offer so much more to help dogs with all types of behavioral issues, obedience and so much more. Frank’s spare time was spent observing different behaviors in our boarding facility--anxiety, aggression, fear, storm phobias, etc. He wondered what these dogs were missing and what he could do to fill that void. Frank understood that the health of the animal extended beyond what we could treat medically; he needed to focus on their mental state. It was then that Frank decided balance training would be perfect for him. Frank has worked to successfully to rehabilitate all types of dogs with many Knowing that health and behavior go hand in hand, Frank works with veterinarians as a team to address behavior issues in animals. Frank tailors his training to each individual’s needs. He teaches a variety of subjects in both one-on-one and group settings, which include better manners, coping with fear, calming out-of-control dogs, and working toward a balance between dog and human. Frank enjoys working with all types of dog behaviors, from basic puppy training to anxiety and aggression.In his professional work, Frank incorporates multiple styles of training to accomplish a great balance for your pet. Some of his types of training include positive reinforcement, trust, communication with body language and energy, exercise, leadership, and affection,socializing and teaching basic manners.  Frank lives in the Dallas/Acworth area with his wife and three sons. They live on a farm with their rescue dog pack, goats, chickens, cats and a chinchilla.   Frank’s philosophy is: “I want to help owners understand the importance of having a balanced dog and having their dog be a part of our community by proper communication and understanding. Humans and dogs can co-exist together but it can only be accomplished if the human behind the dog provides his/her needs. A dog that gets exercise & leadership is a happy and balanced dog!”

Dalton started his passion for training because they showed him down a better path that allowed him to grow as a better person and understand that with all things in life we must be understanding and consistent with what we want to better ourselves, & also show them down the right path.” He started in the dog field working as a kennel tech at Cedarcrest Animal Hospital, & fell in love with caring for the animals, & eager to help them with there problems! So with that drive he set out to become one of the best trainers this world has seen yet. He chose to train dogs because as humans we tend to judge the unknown or simply don’t understand something that we can’t comprehend. Dogs don’t look that way, they don’t judge based off looks, or what you do, or whatever it is. They judge us based on the energy we present, and I want to show the world how we can learn from them, and move forward to a better tomorrow, but not just as a person, but as a true leader to one self. They helped me find my way, and I would love to help everyone I can find their way with their companion.
