About Our School
Bodies in Balance is a small dog training school at a safe, secure, private property situated in Bryanston, Sandton, specializing in
Clicker Training at all levels.

We believe whole-heartedly in positive reinforcement, and all our training is done with the aim of helping to balance - without fear or pain - the mind, body and emotions of all dogs attending classes. We offer a variety of classes as well as individual one on one sessions, either at our school or at a venue of your choice.

Dogs and Owners are here to have fun and learn at the same time, giving the dogs the option to think and allowing them the liberty of making their own decisions, which grows confidence.

Small classes with 2 qualified instructors in each class assuring you of personal attention.
