Based on what the business publishes about itself
Benji Tompkins, who founded Canine Communication Dog Behavior, describes himself as a certified dog behaviorist. According to his site, he grew up around dogs in Colorado, earned a BA from Belhaven University, and later completed a certification in animal behavior. He lists training under several established names in the field, including Dr. Ian Dunbar, Robert Cabral, and Andrea Arden.
The business operates in the Fort Worth area and frames its approach around what Tompkins calls "communication" rather than obedience alone. Their philosophy, as stated on the site, emphasizes teaching owners to understand their dogs through love, trust, and respect, with the goal of giving people lasting tools that work after formal sessions end. One client testimonial mentions that the trainer successfully worked with a deaf dog.
Services include in-home training, private lessons, board-and-train, and virtual sessions conducted over Zoom or Facebook Messenger. Their offerings cover puppy foundations (crate training, potty training, nipping, jumping), adult dog obedience packages with skills like recall and place, and behavioral work for issues such as aggression, destruction, and excessive barking. Consultations are available for those looking to assess their situation before committing to a program.
Private lessons cover puppies and adult dogs at basic and advanced levels, with courses running 6 to 10 sessions. Canine Communication Dog Behavior also offers on-site sessions, virtual training (with a 10-session package discount), and a 2-week board and train program. Aggression cases are accepted at a higher per-session rate, with an additional fee for households with multiple dogs.
