Introducing Benjamin Geeslin
My name is Benjamin Geeslin and I am a graduate of Animal Behavior College where I earned my certification as an ABC Certified Dog Trainer.  Animal Behavior College (ABC) is approved by the Bureau for Private Postsecondary and Vocational Education and is an internationally recognized school.  My year long commitment to this program has provided me with a formal education in canine obedience training and understanding behavior and its motives. My certification, education and experience provide me the skills required to effectively and humanely train your dog while keeping alive the spark that makes your dog so special to you.
 
I began working with dog's in 2000 when a three week old Yellow Labrador (Molly) came into my life and awoke my senses. She was communicating with my wife and I, however we did not understand K-9 language.  This is when we asked for help from a trainer, the trainer responded they could help us, trainer using "positive reinforcement".  So when "Molly" turned four months old we began a group class, this was fun for all envolved, educational, and really built a wonderful building block to start us bonding. At five months of age we continued group class "Canine Good Citizen" which we passed and certified as good citizens. This class was like completing high school. It opened the doors to all activities, that really created a strong bond, like hunting, search and rescue, flyball, agility, and most rewarding animal assisted therapy visits into nursing homes and hospitals.  
I was working during this time for coporate america, but in my spare time a friend and I would go to the shelter and rescue dogs that were headed to death row. This is my start of learning the art of behavior problem solving in different breeds. We would foster these dogs rehabilitate them and find them permanent homes.
Summer of 2005, I retired from coporate america and wanted to pursue the rewarding world of working with dogs and humans, goal in mind to keep dogs in permanent homes.  I had been studing training schools for a couple of years. Animall Behavior College offered the most renowned staff and well rounded academic study program while studing and training with different trainers, which all have developed different areas of expertise and strengths. Another part of the Animal Behavior Program is volunteering time at an animal shelter which is a tremendous tribute to Animal Behavior' and students devote love for the animals.
