Due to increased difficulty socializing dogs in public since March 2020, Haven Dog Training has seen a large uptick in behavioral cases. Their Board & Train Program has become increasingly popular, as it trains dogs in a trainer's home and provides daily updates on training, socializing, and proofing the dog around different dogs, people, and environments.

Bob underwent an extraordinary transformation under Ben's supervision! In just five days, I could distinctly notice the change in him. Although it was a struggle for me to be apart from him, Ben consistently provided me with daily updates and photographs of Bob! My recommendation for Ben is sky-high! With Ben's guidance, I am now confident enough to take Bob out for a walk securely. For all my future dogs, Ben will be the go-to trainer for me regarding guidance and advice.

Working with Ben was an excellent experience for me. He was always present to address any queries I had, and he had a remarkable capability to bond with my pup. Our training package encompassed three personal lessons aimed at helping my dog overcome separation anxiety and improve on leash reactivity/manners. Finally, I learned the most effective techniques to make my pet pay attention and trust me, and I see progress every day. I strongly recommend Haven Dog Training.

Ben deserves all the praise! He did an amazing job in assisting my dog Zoey with her anxiety. I enrolled Zoey in the 5-day board and train program, and Ben helped her establish a solid foundation to boost her confidence. What's more, I appreciate that he kept me updated by texting me photos of my pooch while in his care. Ben's proficiency in his work is evident, and I would wholeheartedly recommend him to everyone. Zoey's progress is noticeable, and on her last day with Ben, she conquered her fear of Home Depot! The attached photo is proof of how far Zoey has come, all thanks to Ben!

Working with Ben was an absolute delight. I've noticed a significant improvement in my puppy already! I was grateful for how Ben kept me informed during my puppy's boarding and training. I was getting overwhelmed with training my puppy, but now she's more self-assured, well-behaved, and she loves to flaunt her new tricks. I can't express my admiration for Ben enough.

As a licensed veterinarian, I highly recommend Haven Dog Training's Ben as a top-quality dog trainer. During our appointments, I stress the significance of behavior and training to all my clients. It's essential to have your pet well-mannered and comprehend your communication, just as you must understand their signals. This skill is as indispensable as any medication I prescribe. Moreover, not only does Ben have admirable pedigree, but he's also an exceptional individual. Your furry friends will be in reliable paws with him. I am confident about this, as my own pets have benefited from his services.
