“We adopted our sweet pup from the shelter as an adult dog, so understanding and being patient with certain behavioral patterns has been difficult at times, specifically his separation anxiety. Ben and The Canine Academy helps us understand Milo from a holistic and deeper perspective, and has been absolutely incredible at rehabilitating him. What cannot be underestimated is Ben’s patience and kindness. Dog rehabilitating can be a stressful and emotional process, and we could not appreciate more his empathy and ability to care for our hearts and minds as well as Milo’s. We (including Milo) love you, Ben!”

"We brought our dog, Rosy, home at 3 months old…and had no idea how to communicate with her. It honestly felt a little overwhelming at times. Then we met Ben from The Canine Academy, and he revolutionized our entire world. He trained us as much as he trained Rosy. He is such a caring person - Rosy loved him immediately. He listened intently to us and gave us the tools we needed to communicate with our pup. We couldn’t be more grateful for his patience, knowledge, and sincerity. He truly cares about dogs and their owners. We get constant compliments on how well our dog listens, and it’s all thanks to Ben! I would recommend him to anyone looking to have a happy, trusting relationship with their dog."

“The most amazing experience I’ve had with a trainer. My dog is the most incredible dog thanks to Ben Lay and The Canine Academy. He’s the best!”

“Our dogs suddenly turned from inseparable buddies to enemies (to the point where they had to be separated at all times). We were baffled and beyond frustrated. We desperately tried many ideas we came across online, and turned to both another trainer and our vet, but nothing worked. Plot twist...we found The Canine Academy! In the first training session with TCA, within 20 minutes, our dogs were coexisting side by side. Mic drop. Our dogs still have a lot of work to do, but the hope that TCA reignited is unreal. We are TCA believers! If you need help with your pup(s), this is your sign!”

“My dog Justice is a pretty special dog and has always listened fairly well. However, I was having trouble getting him to come to me when I call him — especially when we were outside in the backyard. After our training sessions with Ben at The Canine Academy, Justice is an even better version of himself. Ben gave us the tools we needed to succeed. Not only does Justice come when I call him now, I feel even more bonded with him. I highly recommend training sessions with The Canine Academy!”

“The Canine Academy is amazing! Ben is good with people and dogs and is able to deftly balance the training of both! He quickly identified my dog's strengths and had him sitting on command in the first session. He also taught me simple and effective ways to maintain my position of authority and respect in our pack. My dog liked to attack the vacuum cleaner every time I turned it on. Before we were finished with our training sessions, Ben had my dog laying beside the vacuum cleaner while it was running until I released him with a command! Our training sessions with Ben were invaluable. I give him my highest recommendation and know that I can still turn to him with any dog related challenge I come across in the future.”

“We worked with The Canine Academy for training our new puppy. We are first-time dog owners and were amazed by how our puppy immediately took to Ben. Ben not only worked on the fundamentals of training and commands but also shared so many insights on dog psychology. Ben made himself available to accommodate our schedule and also via text for follow up questions. We highly recommend working with Ben and The Canine Academy! We’re so glad we did!”
