My 1 year old is not the same pup he was when he first met Ben back in January. My pup did not socialize well with others, poor manners, and quite honestly it was my fault, not completely my pups. I needed to understand the way my pup thought and find the confidence to correct his poor behavior in a way he understood. No pet is perfect day 1 or even day 12 of training, there has to be a continuous educational experience between the person and their pet. Ben ensures the pet parent understands his methods, understands the why, and is willing to help and answer any questions. Bens entire team is amazing, especially Frida to see her with the Entire Pack is truly something amazing. I am very thankful for what they have done and continue to do for my Pup and my family to live in a calm state. For the negative comments….. trust me I’m one of those dog moms and I won’t lie the first interaction between Ben and my pup, I wanted to take my pup and run. I thought what have I done to bring my baby to such a monster…. SNAP OUT OF IT…… your pet needs discipline that’s why you’re there. Understand the FULL Program and Process before passing such judgment, heck stay for the day, watch and you will learn. Your pet will respect and love you more!!!

Ben is simply the best! I retired, adopted a 7 week old golden retriever and thought life would be great. Not so! Our Ellie was SASSY and stubborn to say the least and we weren’t prepared for such a headstrong pup. At 7 months she was still aggressively biting and I ended up in the ER! It was time to take her behavior more seriously and our vet recommended Ben at BA K9. It’s the best decision we could have made. It’s been almost 3 months of weekly training and I see an amazing difference in her behavior and in mine; I’m much more confident and Ellie is being respectful. Ben and Freda take the time to be sure you understand what needs to be done and make sure you follow through correctly. Ellie and I have a ways to go but I can finally see the dog I envisioned. I would highly recommend Ben and his team, they are absolutely the BEST!

Took my 10 week old puppy with crate training problems to Ben and he able to quickly work through it with me and not only train the dog but train me on how to handle her and be in control. Would recommend him to anyone!
