great service really helpful with my 2 pitbulls i recommend Devotion to dogs to any budy that is haveing trouble with there dogs
We went through three trainers before we met Ben. Our dog was showing aggressive tendencies and Ben was known as the "last resort" trainer who would take on tough cases. Ben is so different from other trainers because he simply DOES NOT GIVE UP. He's honest, friendly, hard working, and will give you 100%. But it's not just Ben! His whole team is just as great.

Ben was recommended to us by Babs Fry, pet recovery specialist, after our rescue dog Addy escaped from her sitter’s house, was lost in Scripps Ranch canyon for 2 days and then was hit by a car. Before this happened, she had bit all the blinds in our house after she was left alone for 10 minutes and was destroying our house. Honestly, at times I didn’t know if we could keep Addy. Needless to say we needed help. In the 3 hours Ben spent with Addy he was able to provide us will tools to help Addy overcome her separation anxiety and fear. We felt more confident as owners and our house became a happy home again. Thank you Ben and Devotion to dogs!!!
