What is balanced dog training?
Balanced dog training combines positive reinforcement (rewarding the behaviours we want) with fair, humane corrections (to gently guide dogs away from unwanted behaviours). At Bella & The Misfits, we specialize in balanced dog training for rescue and reactive dogs — helping you build trust, confidence, and structure without fear or force.

Who is Bella?
Bella was my heart dog—the reason this dream exists. A misunderstood rescue with a gentle soul, she taught me that even the “difficult” dogs aren’t broken; they’re just waiting to be understood. She helped me find my voice, reminded me to listen deeper, and showed me how healing can look different for every pup and every person. Though she’s no longer by my side, her love lives on in every session and every misfit we help.
