Alexandria Virginia Pet Obedience Training and more......
Training Clients Testimonials "Last year I adopted Lola and discovered I was dire need of help with her. She is our first family pet and I assumed love, food, and water were the only requirements for pet care - I was sorely mistaken. I called Woodlawn Kennel and Brock provided immediate behavioral services regarding house training, walking, and obedience. The lesson on low down has been a life saver, during Lola's spoiled brat phases (which are my fault), the low down technique quickly corrected her bad behavior. The training was a huge blessing and I could not have made it without. The hours were great and Brock was kind with Lola but very firm with me concerning sticking to the rules and not caving in to her puppy dog eyes. I frequently travel and use Woodlawn for kennel care, which has been outstanding!!! I have absolutely no fears while I am away on the safety of my doggy baby, because I know she is in great care with Brock and his great staff!" Mrs. Northern (Lola's Mom) "We have contracted with Brock Benson to train several of our rescue dogs, and have been very pleased with the results. Some of our dogs would certainly have been returned without Brock’s intervention. Brock is a very effective trainer, and we have presented him with some seriously challenging dogs. In fact, Brock has become our “trainer of choice” for dogs with behavioral issues, including aggression. He’s reliable, honest, and flexible; for instance, if a client is not comfortable with a specific technique, Brock will come up with an alternative. Some of our volunteers, who are very dog-savvy themselves, have even taken their own dogs to Brock, and been very happy with the results. We also board a few of our dogs there until we can find fosters for them, and the entire staff could not be more accommodating. The dogs get quite attached to the staff, which is always a good sign!"

IN-KENNEL: "Doggie Boot Camp" We sometimes call this "Doggie Boot-camp" because the animal is boarded with us for intensive training.

It is important for the owner to be directly involved in the training process. After all, it's you who have to live with each other. We teach you how to take charge of your dog. Better yet, we teach you what is in your dogs mind & why they do the crazy things they do. These animals are born with a pack mentality. They need a leader to guide them in the appropriate direction. They are eager to please. But, they have to know what you want. They don't speak english they learn from action & reaction. The owner "leader" must understand what the animal is "saying" by it's behavior & how to give leadership & the discipline needed.
On-site & home training available.
