On Command K9 Training LLC

There is absolutely nothing worse than an untrained pet so when my husband and I decided to get a dog, the one thing that we definitely agreed on was that training would be #2 on the list (#1 being a thorough physical examination by a vet). 
I contacted trainers who advertised everywhere. I asked a few coworkers, but funny enough, only 1 of them had actually hired a trainer (SHOCKING). One of my coworkers recommended Ben saying he seriously considered him at one time but many of his friends had used them and they had nothing but good things to say about him. The first plus he got from me is that he actually answered the phone and returned phone calls which I have discovered is an act of God in this area.
My first conversation with Ben, he was extremely engaging and thorough. Instead of just telling me what he offered, he wanted to know what we wanted and expected in a trainer. He went through his experience and the one thing that you could tell from speaking to him is that not only does he love his profession, he loves animals. After speaking to him for a while, he recommended that I go to his website, filled out a questionnaire and we would go from there. The questionnaire was THOROUGH. Spoke about raising, training, behaviors he's already exhibited - all kinds of stuff. Even veterinary care. He's really concerned for the whole dog and not just the job you're paying him for. After filling it out, he emailed me and set up a time to come to our house for an in person consultation.
When I say this man came prepared, he came PREPARED. A bag of treats, toys, doo dads. He played with the dog, he spoke to us, he even showed us a few things. In all, he was at our house about an hour and it was an hour jam packed with useful information for us and a play session with the pup, but do you know what really made us choose him? He thought that we were working with him FINE and he really didn't think we needed him for basic obedience training. He didn't want to take our money! I find that to be honest and the sign of a great business person. He's right, we could have continued to work with our boy and he would have eventually picked up the things we wanted him to learn, but we also know that experts can get you to the end result faster and with better methods. He offered training at an hourly rate or a package of 4 sessions and we chose the 4 sessions because it offered a small discount and I can foresee him being here not only the 4 sessions, but possibly another 4 so he can get some advanced training.
None of the other people we eventually spoke to made such a great impression on me and besides him being prior military and my husband being a proponent of keeping small businesses around, we can't be more happy to be among his new customers.
