Testimonials
“If you want the best, Ben is the trainer for you! I have a GSD that is working on becoming a PSD (psychiatric service dog) and I have had several trainers over the past year and a half. By far, hands down, Ben is the best of them all. My sweet Layla came home healthy, happy, and eager to continue training. I will always look to Ben in the future for ALL of my training needs. He is attentive, available, and an outside of the box thinker that is needed with all types of breeds. You will not be disappointed after the training you receive from Ben.”
– Julia Turner, and her German Shepherd, Layla
“Ben was recommended to me for a tune up on my dog. I’m thankful I got in contact with him as he’s knowledgeable, helpful, and extremely passionate about the dogs and making them model citizens! After the first private session, I learned more than I ever have about dog training, why certain behaviors come about and how to correct or enhance them with tips and techniques to get my point across to my dog as dog training also requires people training. I had a hands on private session so he works with your dog and then has you work them step by step! This helps the owner work the dog as good as the master trainer him/herself. Lots of trainers can teach and work your dog but don’t bother to train the owner so, the owner doesn’t get home and not have a clue why the dog doesn’t work for them. Ben has been amazing to work with answering any and all questions with extreme quickness while working with my dog at home with the homework before the next session. I would 100% recommend him to help with all your dog training needs! He is an exceptional young man!”
– Kim Hendrix, and her Rottweiler, Diesel
“I brought my Golden Retriever Tuffy to Ben for a 2 week Board and Train, and boy was I amazed at the results. Tuffy was giving me a headache at home like darting out the door, not coming when called, counter surfing, and pulling on walks. There’s a huge difference now! Not only did Ben address all of those issues, he took his time teaching me how to handle Tuffy. Ben has a great understanding of what works for your particular situation, he has in-depth knowledge and passion for his work! I highly recommend Ben for anyone who wants to develop a great relationship with their dog.”
– T.K, and his Golden Retriever, Tuffy
