Turn your dog`s zoomies into zen and change that chaotic energy into calm confidence with effective training.

Hi, I’m Makenna Balmer, the proud owner and operator of Quirky Canines Dog Training. With years of hands-on experience working alongside multiple animal rescues and founding my own foster-based rescue, Ray of Light Animal Rescue, I’ve dedicated my life to helping animals thrive.
My passion for animals is the driving force behind my training philosophy. I believe in creating a strong, lasting bond between dogs and their owners using modern, effective methods. At Quirky Canines, I specialize in electronic stimulus collar training — think of it like a gentle TENS machine — to ensure clear communication and lasting results.
Every dog is unique, and I’m committed to tailoring each training program to meet your dog’s specific needs. Together, we’ll build confidence, trust, and a well-balanced relationship. When you choose Quirky Canines, you’re not just hiring a trainer — you’re gaining a partner in your dog’s success. Let’s make your training journey a rewarding experience for both you and your canine companion!
