Melissa Ladaire | Dog Trainer & Behaviorist
Serving The Minneapolis, MN Area
Your dog is part of your pack — a group made up of you, your family, and your friends. When your pack is in balance, your dog will follow your lead and respect each member of the pack.
At Pack In Balance, we focus on more than just commands. Our behaviorist training nurtures a respectful relationship rooted in trust, understanding, and connection. It's not just about changing your dog’s behavior; it’s about transforming the relationship between you and your dog.
Whether it’s leash pulling, reactivity, or confidence building, our training programs are tailored to meet your dog’s specific needs. But it’s not only about the dog — it’s about how both of you relate to each other in real-world situations. We bridge the gap between dog behavior and human connection, ensuring practical solutions for your daily life.
We offer clear, compassionate training methods that create lasting results. If your dog is exhibiting unwanted behavior, it’s often a sign that your pack is out of balance. Let us help restore that balance for a well-adjusted dog and a stronger bond with your pack.

We believe there are no bad dogs — only dogs shaped by human and life experiences. Even well-loved dogs can struggle when their pack sends the wrong signals. We teach balance so both dogs and humans thrive together.

It’s not your fault, also not your dog. You are human, not a dog — but to lead a successful pack, you must learn how your dog thinks. Pack In Balance helps you bridge that gap and lead with confidence.

We focus on rehabilitating dogs and educating humans on how to better relate to their dog pack. By teaching clear communication and balanced leadership, we help create stronger bonds, happier dogs, and more confident owners.
