Michelle Filijan
Founder

Michelle is the owner and Head Trainer of Balanced Pups. Since 2022, Michelle has trained hundreds of dogs and owners on a variety of behavioral issues. When she is not training dogs, she is spending her time writing music, learning a new artsy craft, reading a fantasy book series, exploring outdoors or hanging out with her chickens. She continues to self-educate and learn from others in her industry to provide the most up to date information and techniques to her clients. She also volunteers her time to helping train dogs at Yucaipa Animal Placement Society to become more adoptable and finally find their furever homes.

I incorporate all of my knowledge, practice and studying dog behavior into my training programs, so that I can give dog owners the best training service possible. It shouldn’t be inconvenient or difficult to implement training into everyday life so that you & your pups can all thrive! I seek to provide you with that freedom!
