About the Trainer

Owner & Trainer – Ben Barnes

Ben started training dogs in Melbourne in 2008 whilst he completed the National Dog Trainers Federation Certificate III in Dog Behavior and Training. During this course Ben started working for both a boarding and training facility and numerous dog training clubs around Melbourne. After finishing university, Ben joined the Royal Australian Air Force as a Military Working Dog Handler.

During the years, Ben has been lucky enough to work with some of the world’s best dog trainers. He has experience in a wide range of training methods to get the best results out of both pet and working dogs. Ben loves dogs and considers himself to be extremely lucky to have found such a fulfilling and rewarding job that is his passion in life. He loves helping people find out just how much happiness a healthy, well behaved and balanced dog can bring to their lives. He values the peace of mind and joy a well trained and happy dog brings, but also loves dogs that are cheeky, high energy and love to play.

Ben is a balanced trainer and achieves results using the most effective and humane methods available. ​He tailors the approach to your dog as a one size fits all approach rarely works.

Ben is fully police checked and looks forward to helping you and your dog get the most out of each other’s company.
