FirstBarkI cant thank Ben enough for what he has done my puppy. Not only did her train but also taught me to understand my dog better and its nature. He even trained her without saying a word. This man is a guru. If i could give him more stars i would.

Ben was excellent when he worked with my "problem" dog. She is becoming the dog I always knew she could be. Now I understand her behavior. Before she ruled me. Thank you so much Ben for all you have taught me as well as my dog!
All three of my dogs have spent time at BA Professional K9 training and I have nothing but positive things to say. The facilities are clean and updated which made me very comfortable when leaving my dogs there. Most importantly Ben is an exceptional dog trainer and person, delivering service with compassion and a true love for what he does. He's the only trainer I would trust with my dogs.
The best dog trainer around; From aggression to potty training, if your dog has an issue, Ben can fix it
