Is Balto the right starting point?

The Balto Behavioral package is designed for dogs showing fear or aggression. Tell Ben what happens, when it happens, and what you’ve already tried so he can discuss a suitable training approach.

  • Fearful or aggressive responses around people or other dogs

  • Resource guarding and behavior concerns at home

  • Reactivity that disrupts walks and daily routines

  • Building more manageable behavior and clearer communication

A plan shaped around your dog

Private training gives Ben the opportunity to work with you in the environments relevant to your goals. You’ll learn what to practice between sessions and how to support the work consistently. Ask about the methods, expected process, package inclusions, and suitability for your dog before booking.

If your concern is over-excitability or non-aggressive reactivity, the Pongo obedience package may be appropriate. Ben can help you choose.

Share the context that matters

In your inquiry, you can include triggers, your dog’s age, any bite history, and the changes you want to see. The goals field is optional; Ben can discuss the details with you personally.

Submit your first name, dog’s name, email, and ZIP code. Ben will reply with pricing, current availability, training details, references, and booking options. No commitment is required to request information.
