See How Our Clients (And Their Dogs) Feel
Ben and his team at Haven Dog Training worked tirelessly for our dog Rosie’s 20 day board and train after a move across the state. We can’t thank or recommend him enough for not only teaching our dog basic obedience but for giving her back her confidence and happiness. She left our home nervous, reactive and under-stimulated and returned a happy and working dog who is comfortable being alone without destroying our home and able to “place” for 30 minutes after only two days of being back in our home just to name a few. Ben and team you all are fantastic and we can’t wait to continue Rosie’s training and see the fantastic things she’s able to accomplish.
JESSICA LEONARD
Ben has been wonderful! My dog, Sunny, now walks on a leash without pulling, goes to his “place” and sits, high fives, “breaks”, heels and much more. Ben gave me so much good advice and basically “trained” me! I highly recommend Ben and Haven Dog Training! You will be glad you did!
DAWN HINSHAW GREENE
I used Haven Dog Training’s 15 day board and train program. The results have been truly astonishing. Before the training, I could not take my dog on a walk without getting blisters in my palm from her pulling or without her stopping to greet and smell everyone and everything. After we got her back, we have walked her everywhere with her perfectly healing! She now focuses on us in public and has been truly amazing. Overall this has been the best choice we have made for our dog and I couldn’t be happier! Shes still her same goofy and sweet self but just well-behaved!! I’ve attached one of the pictures we were sent while she was at training and she just looks so happy! Definitely recommend!!!
