Benjamin Berenfield
Owner Ben discovered his love of dog training when he rescued his dog Sherlock (pictured at the bottom). Working with and overcoming Sherlock's behavioral issues led to Ben's passion for training dogs, especially the misunderstood ones. This passion led Ben to a full-time career training and rehabilitating dogs in Raleigh, North Carolina. In early 2018 he launched his own company Haven Dog Training in Hillsborough, North Carolina which is now dedicated to helping all breeds and needs. Our training philosophy is founded in the belief that every individual, both four-legged and two, have their own unique balance that helps them achieve lasting success and happiness. Every dog at Haven is evaluated and trained with a relationship-based approach tailored to the individual. We focus on their specific needs in order to bring out the absolute best in both happiness and obedience.
