Dog Training to Fit Your Lifestyle

Matthew did awesome with our puppy! He is so well behaved and listens great now, and Ben did amazing with our five year old dog. She did a complete 180! I already had told everybody about them but if you’re skeptical, don’t be. They’re awesome!

We used the in-house training (once a week for 4 weeks) for our highly energetic 4 month old Australian Shepherd, Sadie. Benjamin was very knowledgeable, patient, and helpful and taught us commands and approaches to walking on a leash and entering her crate, which she would not do before training. We recommend Benjamin if you are in need of a very good dog trainer. Minor/Bool

Benjamin worked with 1 year Lily who just does her own thing. She gained attentiveness, obedience, calamity, and you can tell she’s learned. Amazing job highly recommend.

Ben has been amazing for our stubborn dogs. The in home training was the best option for us. We were hesitant to send them away, but Ben was always prompt to send videos and updates. Upon returning home we have had a few in home sessions that have addressed some of our more serious issues.Our dogs instantly show him respect. Now, if only he trained kids.. . Highly recommend!

I reached out to Optimal K9 Obedience & Protection Dog Training after I moved into a new apartment and got a complaint about my dogs barking. Benjamin not only showed me how to train my dogs to not bark, he also helped me with other issues I have been having. I highly recommend their services.

My dog indie was with DeAnthony for 5 weeks. She came back so well behaved and it was like having a completely different dog. She seemed to love him and wanted to leave with him! Great service and they consistently gave me updates on how she was doing!

We sent our one year old husky mix to Benjamin’s board and train and are so thrilled with the results. Jenga was not properly crate trained, had separation anxiety, pulled on the leash and was very vocal when guests were over. Thanks to Benjamin’s training efforts, Jenga has improved drastically on all of these fronts. Benjamin sent updates when requested and communicated clearly if any concerns or questions came up. He let us know when Jenga wasn’t feeling the best, when he got better, when he wasn’t eating much, etc. Everything was communicated clearly. Benjamin is very dedicated to the training efforts and will put in the extra time with your dog before allowing them to come home to you which is something we were very appreciative of. When Jenga got to come home, we did obedience training outside while Benjamin gave us all sorts of tips and tricks to get us comfortable with proceeding the training at home. We are excited to keep up with the training efforts given the foundations Benjamin was able to help us instill with Jenga. We look forward to future training sessions with Benjamin and recommend the board and train to anyone considering it.
