About Dog Balancing Hotel

Dog Balancing, owned by Terry, is a highly trusted and experienced dog care facility. Customers appreciate the easy communication and flexible routines Terry offers, ensuring both dogs and owners feel comfortable. Dogs are well cared for in a safe environment, with Terry taking photos and posting updates on Facebook so owners can see their pets while away. The Facebook page also features scientific papers and educational information about dog care, reflecting Terry’s extensive experience as a certified dog trainer and behaviorist.

The care provided is consistent and compassionate, with dogs returning happy and unchanged, which reassures owners about the quality of care. Terry emphasizes that crates can be used as safe, quiet spaces for dogs, respecting each owner’s preferences. The prices at Dog Balancing are reasonable, especially given the long stays often needed by owners traveling or visiting family, making it an affordable option in the Bay Area.

Many dogs love their time there; owners report that their pets get excited when they see Terry and enjoy their stay. In one case, Terry went above and beyond by extending a dog's stay during a travel delay, demonstrating dedication and genuine care. Overall, Dog Balancing offers a safe, caring, and science-informed environment where dogs are happy, well cared for, and owners feel confident leaving their pets.

Terry took great care of our dog Sterling for several weeks while we left town, and sent us regular pics of our pup to let us know how it was going. Sterling came home happy and healthy. Highly recommend!

Dog Balancing is a great place to board our dog. Terry is positive and professional when discussing dog training and strategies to benefit our dog. Willow loves Terry and we trust his judgement. We have used his services for years and we have been happy with the experience every time.

My dog Poppy was excited when we returned. I was surprised because there were some time in between, but she remembered it and was wagging her tail at the gate when we got there and happy to see Terri. She was also a happy girl when I picked her up!
