Black Paw Canine

Black Paw Canine offers customized training programs that begin with an evaluation, followed by structured sessions tailored to the dog’s specific needs. Programs include ongoing weekly training, intensive behavior modification, and board-and-train options. Clients receive hands-on guidance to continue training at home, with flexibility for field trips and follow-up support.

Black Paw Canine is a dog training business led by Ben and Emily that treats clients as family. They offer personalized dog training services tailored to each dog’s breed, behavior, and needs, with a focus on positive, approachable methods that reduce owner anxiety. Their services include private training sessions, behavior modification for reactivity and fearfulness, leash walking correction, and board-and-train programs. They also provide pet boarding with daily walks, playtime, and individual runs, and offer flexible “field trip” training in anxiety-inducing environments. Clients praise their responsiveness, expertise with difficult cases—including puppy mill dogs and anxious pups—and ability to build long-term skills for both dogs and owners.

Ben is recognized for his ability to transform dogs with severe behavioral issues, such as leash reactivity and anxiety, into confident, social animals. The team is known for quick communication, scheduling flexibility, and empowering owners with lasting training knowledge beyond the session hours.

Accomplishments

Ben has successfully transformed dogs with severe behavioral issues, including puppy mill survivors, into therapy-ready dogs and social companions. Clients report unprecedented progress where other trainers failed, particularly in reactivity and fear-based behaviors.

How to Get Started!

Prospective clients begin with an evaluation session where Ben assesses the dog’s behavior and creates a customized training plan. The team responds quickly to inquiries and offers flexible scheduling, including in-home and facility-based sessions.
