I can’t speak for Ben as I am a customer but I will share that on his website and in person he provides the ability to do private in person sessions Best bet is to reach out directly for him to individualize your needs

We have a 100lb Bull Mastiff and a son with special needs. Given her size, we knew our dog would need exceptional training so she would be safe around our son (and others). We started working with Ben when she was a puppy. Despite having had dogs all my life, Ben walked us through every step of training from socializing with other dogs, recall, leash training, and brain games. Our dog is constantly complimented by others. She sits and waits when someone is at the door, she doesn’t bark at other dogs in the neighborhood, she doesn’t jump, her recall is exceptional, she walks beautifully on a gentle leader, and she does all kinds of other fun things too. She is a joy in large part because of the training Ben patiently and expertly provided during her first year. Not to mention Ben is great to work with! We would highly recommend him & Lexi & all things Outrider Dogs!

Ben and company are amazing! We are off to a great start with our new dog and Outrider has been so helpful. The puppy classes and the private training courses have been worth every penny! I’d give them 6 stars if Google would let me!

I inherited two German Shepherds from my mom after she passed away. I already had a Golden Retriever, an adopted German Shepherd AND a cat! But I didn't want to let my mother down and I wanted her dogs to stay with us. My household became a bit chaotic, and I felt overwhelmed to handle the situation. After looking at online reviews, I reached out to Ben Garson for help. He came to the house for private training sessions and his expertise was impressive. He was patient and professional while having high expectations of what we could accomplish. It was hard work, but he gave me the confidence I needed to become the alpha in my home and maintain control over the "pack". I'm forever grateful that he helped us stay together and become a happy, healthy home! Thank You! Fran T
