About Devotion to Dogs:
Ben Davidson was training dogs in the San Diego area for 15 years prior to starting Devotion to Dogs. He founded Devotion to Dogs in January 2015, shortly after he attended Northridege Animal Behavior College. A Devotion to Dogs certified trainer will assess your dog(s) in a structured environment within our facility. Our facility is equipped with in-home replication, proper exercise requirements, availability to all breeds of dogs, as well as multiple personnel for testing all possible behaviors your dog could have. We will communicate with you about the energy and foundation from what we see during the appointment. We will immediately begin to offer you solutions to the unwanted behaviors we are observing. Before you leave, we will recommend possible tools to use with your dog, depending on the solutions we come up with. About Ben Davidson: Growing up, my family had five dogs. As far back as I can remember, I was playing with the dogs and watching how they interacted with each other and people. I began watching dog shows and learning about different breeds. During this time I grew to love the relationship between a boy and his dog. I learned it was truly a relationship of love, respect, and trust. This was the purest relationship I had experienced. I learned that dogs are more than just dogs. They are companions that can give you a rewarding, fulfilling life. They are there when you are sad, they are there when you are happy, they know when to give you space, and know exactly when not to when properly trained. I have learned that they have a very different way of communicating. Over the years, and all the time I have spent with dogs, I learned to read and understand them, which gives me the ability to communicate what is being said or not being said in every situation. My job is to observe what is happening with your dog and translate exactly what they are trying to tell you with their behavior in any given situation. Just imagine how peaceful your life could be with a pet that understands your direction and commands. My goal is to make sure quality of life for you and your family, dogs included, is the best it can be and to keep dogs from going to the shelters simply because of language barriers. I started training so I could educate and rehabilitate owners and their dog(s) making life better one lesson at a time. While I can help you meet any training goals you may have, the type of training I specialize in is behavioral. Most owners don’t realize their dog may require behavioral training. Behavior training can be anything from basic commands such as sit, stay, come to aggression towards other dogs or people. I set the foundation that helps correct ANY behavior problem.
