“Murray, once anxious and leash reactive on a consistent basis has made an unbelievable transformation to which I didn’t necessarily believe it could happen that quick. This has benefited both of our dogs qualities of life and has transformed and made our experiences with them as well. If you are looking for a dog trainer, no matter what is needed or what level of training you believe is necessary, the Canine Academy is the way to go and will adjust practices and sessions to items you want to address. They’ll teach you and the dogs things you never thought of and I’d do it 100x over.”

“We love having Ben as our dog trainer! Ben’s love for and understanding of dogs is evident in every aspect of his training program. He has helped us understand our dog’s behavior and how to best respond to it. Our sessions are always tailored to fit not only our needs as pet owners but also our dog’s needs in terms of what he is comfortable with and ready for. I appreciate how focused Ben is during our sessions. He notices everything about what our dog is doing or not doing and points out behaviors in order to educate us on what to also look for.”

"Ben is the best! Truly a dog whisperer. My girl, Trudy, is, now, an absolute angel. At one point it looked like there was no solution for Trudy’s anxiety and aggressive behavior. Trudy now plays with cats and rabbits and isn’t triggered by squirrels. She’s so well trained that she lowkey trained her little brother to be just as gentle, kind, and well-behaved as her. Ben will not I my change your dog’s life but also yours."

"Ben was wonderful with our dogs! We adopted a new rescue who was found on the streets with 0 training. He can now sit, come, lay, stay and wait with just a hand motion. He also helped our older rescue learn the same commands and hand signals to stay in sync. Ben was extremely responsive and really went above and beyond to help us with our babies. I was skeptical of how dog training would work over zoom, but it was great! He is 150% worth the investment."
