Black Paw Canine

Ben and Emily are incredible. Ben's knowledge around the best ways to train you and your dog for their specific breed is top-tier, and Emily makes scheduling/working with their team as easy as can be. Black Paw empowered me with the knowledge to train both of my dogs, and to use the information I learned to support me for years after their puppy/obedience phases. Because they work with so many different types of situations, and can train beyond just a basic level, there's no true limit to what they can help your dogs with. To top it all off, their programs are affordable and their methods are approachable, which takes the worry and anxiety out of training! They've been a big help to me both with my training, and personally.

The first time we met with Ben our dog Zuko was freaking out as we hid behind a tree to avoid other dogs. At that time, Zuko couldn't be within 100 feet of another dog without lunging, barking, and having a meltdown. After 8 sessions with Ben, Zuko has now made almost a half dozen dog friends. Ben was the third trainer we tried and the only one who has able to take Zuko to the next level when it comes to comfort around other dogs. Ben is kind and encouraging. He clearly cares about animals, and the owners who care for those animals. I wholeheartedly endorse Black Paw Canine and recommend them to anyone who has a difficult pup.

We have just welcomed Zigo into our home with 2 other canines. Zigo is a high drive Malinois and our other two canines are a low drive Mal and a mixed breed 11yr old. Ben not only prepared “Z” for his assigned work, he trained and coached the family how to successfully integrate Z into our home. I’ll have to admit, it has been like having a toddler back in the house, but we are beginning to adapt, set strong boundaries and have the time of our lives with all three canines. Ben, his staff and family are great to work with. His focus and patience with finding the right canine for our daughter is second to none. He understood all of our needs and is developing Z and our our daughter to be a perfect match! Ben and Blackpaw Canine are simply the best.
