About Canine Communication Dog Behavior

Behavior help across DFW

Canine Communication Dog Behavior is a Fort Worth dog behavior business serving the greater Dallas/Fort Worth area. Founder Benji Tompkins describes himself as a certified Dog Behaviorist; he earned a certification in animal behavior and learned from senior trainers and educators including Dr. Ian Dunbar, Andrea Arden and Robert Cabral. His focus is personal canine communication based on love, trust and respect, and he sees training as only half the battle: the goal is to give owners tools to communicate with their dog long after sessions end.
