“Zoe is doing SO awesome! Our walks have been amazingly easy and fun again! She is perfect when I run with her now too! They are overall doing so well! Much less barking and Zoe is playing so much more appropriately. They even sort of cuddle up together now! We met with Lexi once for agility which was so fun. Lexi is awesome too, she was so great with the dogs. We plan to bring them both for more agility with her. Thanks so much for all of your help, our dogs are so much more happy and relaxed with your training! It makes them so much fun to have! it’s been the best in so many ways for these guys!”

“I didn’t think that just four, one hour classes would make such a difference, but it did. Thank you Ben, for giving us our home back. Of course, we had our work cut out for us and it required plenty of effort on our part, but we couldn’t have gotten here without you!”

“Ben has changed our lives. Just got back from another perfect walk with ZERO pulling even through dog, children and squirrel sightings!! Thank you Ben a million times over!”

“Highly recommend Ben if you’re looking for a dog trainer. He is both a behavior and obedience trainer. I was in tears with my dog before bringing her to him and with only a few sessions she has become an entirely different dog. We love taking her everywhere now! In only three sessions (and lots of work on our part at home) she no longer pulls, is not reactive towards dogs, is calmer, more obedient and happier. He has a vast amount of knowledge, well worth the money.”

“Awesome for training! We took our puppy to a beginner's class elsewhere and while we were happy with the class, we felt that something was missing. At the first class we took, our pup did learn to basics, "sit", "stay", recall, etc, and he could do all those things well. However, we felt he was more doing these behaviors for the treats and not because he was necessarily a well behaved dog. He was more "well-trained" versus "well-behaved". A couple months after our first class I found out about BEN and the description of the class seemed exactly what we were looking for...and we were not disappointed. Ben is amazing! Our first class I totally got called out for bad owner behavior, but I'm glad I did! We have a high-energy lab cross who loves people and other dogs and always wants to be playing or involved in what's going on around him. During the first class we were sitting and listening to Ben talk and Cody (our pup) was whining constantly and pulling to be towards the other dogs. Embarrassing and a distraction to the other people trying to hear. In my mind, I thought, "scratch him and pet him to distract him and maybe he'll quiet down". But as was explained by Ben, I was only rewarding the anxious, whining behavior he was doing. He told me how to correct it and how to get him calm and, I'm not exaggerating, within minutes, Cody was laying on the ground, calm...no more whining! This was about 15 minutes into our first class so I was already impressed. The rest of the classes were just as great and we learned so much. What I really liked about Ben's class is he really goes into detail about the WHYs of the dogs' behavior and makes you think like the dog to understand why they're acting the way they're acting and what you can do to fix it. He emphasizes a lot about the dogs being calm prior to getting what they want so that they associate calmness with good things and we are really seeing great results with Cody. The class is over now but we're using Ben's tools & techniques at home to shape Cody into the dog we want him to be. I would definitely recommend these classes to anybody!”

“We have been incredibly impressed by our young puppy training class experience with Ben. Our puppy Rose is learning so much and developing into an awesome companion and best friend thanks to the systematic and thoughtful sequencing of homework. Class is awesome — we get to ask questions, learn about being good leaders for our doggies, get feedback from Ben while practicing during class, and then the puppies have a chance to play together. We have been to 3/4 classes so far and Rose already loses her puppy mind with excitement when we pull in the driveway. She loves it as much as we do! A bonus is that she comes home and takes a peaceful nap after class — a priceless gift to puppy parents. We are excited to keep learning in the older puppy class next! Thank you!”

“We just had a private session with Ben. It was really awesome. There were some specific issues like jumping on people that he was able to help us target and gave us tips we can do at home to help keep her from jumping. The hour session went by way too quick but it was one of the best session we have had so far. We will definitely be signing up for another one. 5 stars all around, especially to Ben. Its obvious he takes extreme pride in his work with the way he treated us and how he explained things and worked with our specific needs. We will be coming back because there are still more issues to work on and an hour is just not long enough to change the attitude of our dog.”

“Ben is an amazing trainer and would highly recommend him for training your new puppy. Everyone is very friendly and great with all the dogs. Puppy play group is also well run and great socialization for dogs. And they have puppy daycare that is wonderful and you get a tired out dog when you pick them up. I wouldn't go anywhere else for training!”

“Ben was recommended to us by several people and I have to say it is well worth our hour drive, and the best money I have ever spent! Puppy classes and playgroup have helped our pup (And us) drastically! We will definitely be continuing to the older puppy classes. I would highly recommend!”

“HUGE thanks to Ben. You are too amazing. You trained my family to make Harrison a calmer, more respectable, and nicer part of our family. After being turned away by a humane society trainer because of the breed of my dog, I felt helpless. I didn't seek help for months after. You changed that within the first ten minutes with a single phone call. A dog I thought I would have to surrender is in his forever home and I'm so thankful. You guys rock!!!! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!”

“This place is hands down the best I've ever experienced. I have a large puppy (greater swiss) and Ben has helped me in so many ways. Including now being able to take her for walks comfortably around town. It has been life changing. Thank you!”
