Instinct Canine Holistic Behavioral Training

Ben is an excellent trainer who listens to you and your pets needs. I went to Ben after adopting a stray dog who was found roaming with no history and was having a difficult time trusting people and getting acclimated to his new life. Ben helped my dog and I work together to build a stronger bond and better trust for them and I to feel more comfortable and confident in a variety of types of situations. I now feel confident in the bond and trust my dog and I have built that I can take him in a variety of situations as to before we met Ben he couldn’t even lay down without being stressed out. We have since gone on number vacations, trips to restaurants, events, and even played mini golf and I am able to understand and tell my dogs queues and help set the tone for all different types of experiences to be positive ones for him. My dog and I get to live an even better life thanks to the foundation Ben helped set and the training we have made a daily routine for us. Both my dog and I now live with a greater peace of mine thanks to Ben’s dedication and effort working with us. We did day training as well as classes in a group setting as well to build confidence around other dogs and people as well. I could not recommend Ben more highly to anyone in the area. If you are in the Stamford area or heck anywhere near by, he is worth the drive and time to build a stronger relationship between you and your dog so you can live in confidence and control of situations without fear or stress.

I first met Ben outside the boarding house in norwalk, CT and was impressed at how he was handling several dogs in a training session. when we got a rescue (bailey) 6 months ago from abroad we reached out to Ben for training. He is absolutely the best and has a gift with dogs. We were so happy with the results that we also got our older dog Kuma retrained by him. Excellent results, also affordable given the results! he is always there for questions and extra help. Totally recommended. you can see my before and after pix with the doggies.

My dog Reed was a handful since we adopted him at (approx) 10 weeks old. We were told by the shelter he was a full lab (lol) but he turned out to be a wild hunting bred dog from Arkansas. He was not obedient at all and made even the smallest outings extremely stressful and uncomfortable. We met a couple and their dog at the dog park and were astonished at how well trained she was. We’re so grateful they shared Ben’s contact with us. In just 4 short weeks Ben has been able to take our unruly puppy into a wonderful companion. It’s truly incredible the gift he has given us to be able to enjoy Reed and not be constantly frustrated by him. Now we’re the dog owners being complimented in public about how well trained our dog is! We have learned how to direct his energy into productive ways and he is a completely different dog. The energy in our house has totally shifted and we are so grateful for Ben’s amazing training, for not only our dog but also for training us as owners.
