I’m Lauren Sogard, owner and head trainer of All Dogs Balanced Training in Indianapolis, Indiana. My first dog Frank ignited my passion for dog training when it became apparent he needed more help and training than the average dog. Through six years of intense self study, evolving my training and ‘learning the hard way’, I have combined many top trainers’ techniques and found balanced dog training. It changed our lives! Now I have set out on a mission to change other peoples lives. Helping YOU live a balanced, stress free life with your dog. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bcc8dcdd74562329d67aadc/1541479630641-69IITOK1JIBGX4L4BMQQ/iacp-logo-member-icon-rgb-600x600.jpg Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bcc8dcdd74562329d67aadc/1541479608453-XUH49EAQIPHVMMF6FHQR/logo-ecollar.png Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bcc8dcdd74562329d67aadc/1726084440471-9RBDWZ4TS21970EZ2TZT/PL2A5278.jpg Home https://www.alldogsbalancedtraining.com/meetlauren daily 0.75 2024-09-11 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bcc8dcdd74562329d67aadc/1540388924646-IJ232K4DKAYNAH7L57GY/IMG_7978.JPG Meet Lauren https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bcc8dcdd74562329d67aadc/1540477517987-3RJPKF73QUHMXYW3B3TR/8cpN6%2BVQRyqLsRCnIZi9Tw.jpg Meet Lauren https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bcc8dcdd74562329d67aadc/1540390174617-UO604QJRXVHQ6DVZGRSE/Id8PrTJzQgGU66XiBAB7tw.jpg Meet Lauren https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bcc8dcdd74562329d67aadc/1540388360774-18FMF7QQHFNJQD3JSEE9/IMG_4279.JPG Meet Lauren https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bcc8dcdd74562329d67aadc/1540477753539-QCFXGJ1KP3VO84O1K1FE/IMG_2208.JPG Meet Lauren https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bcc8dcdd74562329d67aadc/957ab91e-a574-4212-9866-7d98b0ecf835/PL2A5766.jpg Meet Lauren Lauren Sogard and Fleur Z https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bcc8dcdd74562329d67aadc/1541174455006-CP8XHGJDWJRXYN4DVL2Z/XwwY8IkfSAaeWcGHVGDomw.jpg Meet Lauren https://www.alldogsbalancedtraining.com/ourmission daily 0.75 2024-09-11 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bcc8dcdd74562329d67aadc/486f2b95-4b7d-4b88-8783-0d42d760491e/PL2A5250.jpg Our Mission https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bcc8dcdd74562329d67aadc/1540482893580-AQJQHKL1GKROD1BFOUIC/IMG_0024.JPG Our Mission https://www.alldogsbalancedtraining.com/getstarted daily 0.75 2025-03-16 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bcc8dcdd74562329d67aadc/1540482761949-ADZS2GG6H0MMGVUTGY9A/EXjCkAFgQxOBaOdFI8Znjg.jpg Get Started https://www.alldogsbalancedtraining.com/our-philosophy daily 0.75 2018-11-05 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bcc8dcdd74562329d67aadc/1540568530451-G8GM4UZK1XC44L7W9UPZ/%2BCiv9dYyT9qbWNok77fC9w.jpg Our Philosophy - Balanced dogs are happy healthy dogs!!

Flat buckle collars, harnesses, martingales, and even gentle leaders can crush dogs wind pipes or crank their necks and even cause more pulling, arousal and intensity in the dog. The Prong (with 4’-6’ Nylon or Leather lead) is also what we use to teach the dog proper direction of commands in conjunction with the E-Collar. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bcc8dcdd74562329d67aadc/1541134196835-JWLHDGTGE450WA6Y2NT3/Screen+Shot+2018-10-25+at+1.40.13+PM.png Tools We Use - Slip Lead A slip lead is a great tool.
