Ben is an amazing dog trainer! I got a Dutch Shepherd puppy in the spring, thinking it would be as easy to train as my German. I was wrong! Each week she came back from Ben she showed so much improvement. When she started puppy imprinting she was wild, crazy, and choose when she would listen. Now that she's completed imprinting and she's absolutely amazing and all she wants to do is work (obey commands). Ben doesn't just train dogs, he also teaches people how to better communicate with their K9 partner.
I have an 18 month old American pit bull terrier who (up until meeting Ben and going through his 5 week course) was unruly, mouthy, unsettled and unmannered. He didn’t flinch at the breed and not only accepted the challenge that my fiancé and I presented him with but excelled at doing what he says he can do. She came home well mannered, eager to please and a completely new dog behavior wise. He answered every question, was very patient with all 3 of us, is very knowledgeable in his field and couldn’t have been more kind. When I started looking around for a trainer, he took the time to answer the questions I had and showed a lot of humility and integrity when I asked about other trainers. I chose Ben because of his character and commitment. I was unsure of the tools he uses until he showed me how effective they are and how they are meant to be used and I believe that I learned as much, if not more, than our dog did. I’m grateful for him and that he has given me the tools to be a better human for my pup. I would recommend him and his program to anyone. If you follow his instructions and do the homework he provides then I believe you will be very satisfied with the outcome!!


I couldn’t have asked for a better training experience from Ben. He goes above and beyond as a trainer and is truly a professional at what he does. I knew exactly what I wanted from my dog, Jackson, but just didn’t have the understanding or knowledge to properly train him myself. Ben took the time to listen to my needs and put together a plan that worked wonderfully. He totally transformed Jackson’s behavior, ability to listen, and confidence in almost every situation. There was a huge difference just after the first week of training and it only got better. Ben came highly recommended to me and I’ve recommended him to others who have been equally as pleased. If you’re considering training for your dog, I can’t imagine going anywhere else.

Puppy Training
Want to start your new best friend off on the right paw? The Calibrated K9 Puppy Imprinting program is specially designed with puppy raising in mind, helping you navigate the 'terrible two's' or 'pre-teen' phase that kicks in around 10 months old.
Developed to instill the same real-life practical obedience capabilities as our adult dog programs, the Puppy imprinting program also focuses on proper manners and developing impulse control while also avoiding many familiar puppy-raising issues. Puppies are eligible once all puppy shots have been administered, typically, right around 4 months old.
