“We had our dog Ruby spend just over a month with Ben, focusing on her walking, learning commands, and training her to be off-leash… Ruby has been doing fabulous and has been heeding all commands… we can give Ruby more freedom in her life.”

“It was unbelievable to see the transformation from incessant barking and lunging, to obedience and prompt recall!! I went from being anxious to have guests over, to our dog laying down calmly when commanded, off leash, while UPS dropped off packages.”
Martamary S.

“Ben provided both on leash and off leash training. He thoroughly explained the process, the tools he uses, and the method behind the training. Ben sent numerous texts throughout the process to let us know our boy was doing well, learning, and happy.”
