How do Private Lessons work?
Each program begins with an initial evaluation, where our trainer assesses your dog’s temperament, current skills, and any behavior challenges. From there, we create a customized training plan that targets your goals and fits your schedule.
Lessons are conducted one-on-one, either in your home, at our facility, or in local environments like Boise parks, the Greenbelt, or the Foothills. We want your skills to translate directly to everyday life. Between sessions, you’ll receive clear instructions and exercises to practice at home, ensuring consistent progress and lasting results.

Posted on Kailey GTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Ben is amazing! We did the puppy primer for our 19 week old puppy and we couldn’t be happier with the results! He works magic!Posted on Paul EgertTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Ben is absolutely the best. We've been to several trainers over the years, no one has giving us better results. We have been working two very different challenges with our two dogs - reactivity with one and training for obedience competitions with the other. Ben has done a great job handling both. He has an instinctive way of understanding and bonding with the dogs. Just as important, he knows how to train their people. We highly recommend Ben for all your dog training needs.Posted on Floyd SummersTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I brought my recently adopted 2-year-old German Shepherd to Ben for day training. My main goals were to help reduce her leash reactivity, build a foundation of basic obedience, and set her up for off-leash recall so I could comfortably take her into the foothills. After a few sessions, Ben laid all the foundations and taught me exactly what I needed to do at home to continue growing her skills. As a new dog owner, he took extra time to educate me on dog training and walked me through the anticipated next steps. Ben was kind and caring with my dog, which was demonstrated by her excitement to see him the next day. Ben was also very flexible and understanding with timing which was great for my busy and inconsistent work schedule. Thanks Ben!Posted on Jaime PurdieTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Working with Ben was an absolute game changer for both Kota and I. I couldn’t be happier with her progress off and on leash, plus I learned quite a bit along the way! I most appreciated Ben’s willingness to tailor our training plan to match Kota’s personality and meet our goals. A huge thanks!Posted on John & Janice OordTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Ben with Momentum K9 did a wonderful job helping us train our dog Chloe. She is a rescue and had a lot of anxiety and fear of people. He was patient with both us and our dog, giving us so much help with her conditioning and training! She has become a much happier and confident pet! We highly recommend him! We will continue to build on the foundation he has given Chloe and us!Posted on Sri DivyaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. As first time pet owners we had to learn several things quicker to understand pet behaviors and how to train our pet. Ben boarded and trained our puppy for two weeks. She has wonderful experience during her boarding where she had the opportunity to travel and socialize. When she was back home we saw a lot of difference in the way she behaved, and that’s without using e-collar. She is now very well behaved puppy, responding to more commands and have calmed down. Ben also did post training sessions with us to help us learn the techniques. We highly recommend him if anyone is looking for K9 training in Boise. We are very happy about our experience with Ben. Having Ben train her is one of the best things that we did for our puppy.Posted on Elise FernandesTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Worth every penny! Ben is very professional, educated, and really knows what he is doing. He is very flexible and worked with my work schedule. I also learned a lot from Ben and all my biggest concerns with Yeti were quickly resolved. Would highly recommend.Posted on Michael AlgateTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Ben is an extremely knowledgeable and qualified dog trainer. Not only did he train our dog, he taught us how to use training to create a better bond between us and our doggo. I highly recommend Ben and Momentum K9 to anyone who is even debating about dog training, it was worth every penny.Posted on Paul and Lisa KTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had a great experience with Ben training our puppy. He was patient and made sure we worked on all issues we wanted to address. He taught us many helpful exercises and tips and was able to gear the classes to our family and the way we’d like to raise our pup. I wouldn’t hesitate to hire Momentum K9 again!Posted on Amanda HebisonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I took my 6 month old puppy to Ben and he was wonderful! We worked on leash training as well as sit/down and recall. I saw so much improvement in just a few sessions. He gives the tools needed to keep working at home and is available to answer questions.
