Ben Garcia is one of those rare dog trainers with a natural ability to read a dog and then respond with the correct stimulus. Timing is everything. His dog training DVD "First Steps" is worn out in my DVD player and is the best dog training video I have ever watched. I met him at a brittany field trial in Sonoita, AZ where he was judging. His skills as a judge, handler, and most of all bird dog trainer are highly sought after and rightly so. You can't go wrong with Ben Garcia and Hideaway Kennels. Do yourself a favor and order the DVD and you'll see what I am talking about. Ben Garcia is the real deal.–Jon Lee - Annabella, UT

Ben, We have been extremely happy with Orions performance both in the field and his ability to stay on task at home as well. He is the ultimate hunting dog and companion. We have had him hunt along with other pointers at Rocky Mountain Roosters and although they have much more experience than he they are no more successful. He loves to hunt! You can find pictures of Orion with his birds and mention of your name as trainer on Elk Run Kennels web site. –Dr. Lisa Sullivan and Bob Sandoval

I recently moved my hunting dogs to Hideaway Kennels and could not be more pleased. I previously had my dogs at kennels located at one of Colorado’s top hunting preserves but was very disappointed with the progress my dogs were making and the lack of communication from the dog trainer. Ben Garcia is a very articulate, well mannered, courteous dog trainer. Ben went out of his way to contact me concerning the approach of the big December storm and assured me the dogs would be fine. He even offered to drop-off and pick-up my dogs if I preferred to have them at home during the storm. I highly recommend Hideaway Kennels.–Jeff Crafton, CO

What can I say about Ben Garcia, that anyone who knows him doesn’t already know. I met Ben about a year ago by accident. Since that day Ben has been my dog trainer and my friend. I have had dogs with some of the biggest name trainers in the country. All of which have been a big disappointment. Ben has been honest with me about every step of my dogs progress GOOD or Bad! A lot of trainers will tell you your dog is one the best he has, just to keep you paying the bills. That’s not Bens style, Ben believes his dogs are a direct reflection of him  and that is what makes a great trainer. I will never send a dog with anyone other than Ben. He works hard and it shows in his dogs.–Jennifer Musumeci

I was introduced to Ben three years ago by my father,who had a setter that Ben was training for him. After watching Ben work with both the dog and my dad I said to myself this guy is has something special. About 2 weeks later I went out to the kennels and told Ben I was interested in getting a dog of my own, but I did not have the slightest idea of what to look for, Ben responded by saying ” let me do some research,and I will get back with you”. Ben called the next day and gave me the name of a breeder that was going to have some brittany puppies soon.I trusted Ben and his instincts were correct.Over the past years I have spent a lot of time out at the kennels, and realized that Ben is probably one of the most dedicated people I have ever met. Bens work ethic goes far beyond what I could have ever imagined, he is working with the dogs 7 days a week sun up to sun down.This past spring I got a setter out of Riley’s runnin hideaway and cross creek silky. This puppy is extremely intelligent and loveable.He was the perfect fit for our family (Thanks Ben and Amanda)! If you are looking for an honest trainer or breeder I would recommend giving Ben and Hideaway kennels a call.–Corey and Melissa
