FirstBarkBen is one of the best trainers we have ever worked with. He helped us so much with our two doodles. He listens, is easy to work with, and offers solutions to every problem. Not only did he train our dogs, more importantly, he trained us. We enjoyed each training session and would highly recommend Ben to everyone. We will be calling him again in 2023!

About Canine Cornerstone, LLC
Providing comprehensive positive canine behavioral and obedience training for dogs of all ages. I use many skills to listen and observe how people communicate with their pets and teach them by utilizing humor, authenticity and presence to elevate the entire family's awareness, involvement and commitment in transforming the life with their companion. I make sessions fun, engaging and entertaining so learning happens naturally to deliver information and insight to tackle the many challenges involved in a dog's life through positive motivation and reinforcement. I love training humans to be better leaders for their dogs so they gain the ultimate satisfaction of seeing their relationship grow and thrive over time.

If you or someone you know needs the assistance of a dog trainer I highly recommend Ben Shimizu. Ben provides comprehensive obedience and behavioral training for dogs of all ages. He is a state certified CCS professional trainer utilizing only force-free, positive reinforcement techniques and subtle communication methods to enhance and strengthen the owner/dog relationship. Ben is amazing!
Hiring Ben was a game-changer. Immediately after Ben taught me how to use the gentle leader, my 70 pound dog Chester (who was randomly lunging at other dogs) was so much better on a walk.

Hiring Ben was a game-changer. Immediately after Ben taught me how to use the gentle leader, my 70 pound dog Chester (who was randomly lunging at other dogs) was so much better on a walk. I learned so much about my dog's behavior and we continue to work on everything Ben laid out for us in his follow-up email. My son was there with me when Ben did his training, and after he left my son said, wow, that guy has such great energy. I couldn't agree more. Thanks so much Ben!!
Ben Shimizu is the best dog trainer around! I’ve referred him several times and everybody that has used him is very happy and their dog’s behavior has changed very positively. Reactive dog, emotional dog, anxious dog? He does it all. Highly recommended!

BEN, the dog whisperer! I whole heartedly recommend Ben to anyone with K-9 challenges. After an overdue visit, I am re-developing such a wonderful relationship with my furry girl now that I better understand how to give her the leadership she needs. Ben offers logical guidance on how to communicate with my dog like a dog, and it's genius. It's amazing how quickly the training takes hold, and it's motivating to continue - both for my peace of mind and our bond. Nothing better. Don't wait. Call Ben today!
