About BA K9 Training

<h2>Owner education on a five-acre South Beloit site</h2>

<p>BA-K9 – the site's own title reads "BAK9 – Ben Austin K9 Professional Training" – works from 22403 County Line Road in South Beloit, Illinois, on the Illinois side of the state line. The pitch is aimed at the handler as much as the dog: "We teach owners how to build trust with your pet, use effective communication, and a proper understanding of dog behavior and psychology."</p>

<h3>Programs</h3>

<p>The navigation lists a Day Training School, private work billed as Train With Ben, and a Board and Train program with its own booking page. Every new client starts the same way. The site describes the consult as "an at-home lesson with the entire household so Ben can better understand the needs of both you and your dog," ending with a plan for the relationship rather than a package sold on the spot.</p>

<h3>Background the site claims</h3>

<p>The about page says Ben began working with dogs and humans in 2012 and completed the Master Trainer Course at the National K9 Learning Center in Columbus, Ohio, listing Advanced Obedience, Assistance Dog Training for the Disabled, Scent Detection, Tracking and Trailing, Personal Protection Training and Kennel Management among the certification's components. It adds that he received his CPT, is an active member of the National K-9 Dog Trainers Association, completed Cesar Millan's "Training Cesar's Way" Fundamentals 1 and 2 programs and is now a staff member on those courses at the Dog Psychology Center in Santa Clarita, California. The site says the business started in a warehouse garage and has since expanded to a training facility and kennel on five acres.</p>
