Testimonials
“What started out as a dreadful chore has become my new hobby. Benji is unlike any trainer I’ve met; he REALLY gets me and my dog. I originally wanted help training my dog out of his problem behaviors, but Benji has really helped me with my consistency and not burning out. It’s really awesome stuff seeing our training sessions pay off, and I feel empowered knowing my dog is loving his life!”
– Lindsay G.
“Benji is amazing. He listened to what our concerns were and developed a plan of action. He is very knowledgeable about dogs and different breeds. We love his approach, as opposed to the simple obedience trainers. Benji’s goal is to give us and our pups the tools we need to understand each other. I am optimistic about the upcoming sessions. I’ll write any updates I need as we continue the process. ❤️”
– Taryn F.
“Benji worked so well with my dog and taught us so much just within our first lesson! We had trouble finding someone who would help us train our dog because he is deaf but that was NO issue for Benji. We can’t wait for our next session with him.”
– Brittany B.
