Dog Aggression Training Reviews From Augusta Families
★★★★★
“Our puppy Jasper, demonstrated a number of behaviors stemming from a fear response. This led to several biting incidents. We sent Jasper to Ben with the hope of getting Jasper under control. Ben’s training has set Jasper on the right path, where there is a significant, positive change in Jasper’s behavior.”

“Ben has been incredible working with my nervous five year old Pit Bull, Athena! We started our training with a muzzle for the upmost safety precautions, and not even a week later she was freely giving Ben kisses… He’s patient with both the dog and the owner.”
Lauren G.
★★★★★
“My dog Penny is nervous around new people, but boy does she love Ben!… Though she doesn’t care much to be part of a pack, her work with Ben has allowed to her to at least be present around other dogs without much issue.”
