B'More Dogs Hon

Feel like I was robbed by the trainer. I followed the program, even the absurd practice of feeding the dog only on my walks. The trainer went over the same few tricks every single time, MAYBE, learning something new. Most of the time my dog had too much energy to pay attention, so most of the session was wasted. Most of the time it was simple tricks that I already taught the dog at home, prior to him teaching me( he just adjusted how I did them). We only went over sit, down, spin, up, down, and heel, stay. I taught my dog, sit, down, roll over, and paw. While the trainer went over the same things everytime with maybe something new. Most of the time it was the same few tricks. My dog acted like a spaz and had no concentration to learn tricks, often It was nearing the end of the session everytime when my dog calmed down. So out of a 30 minute session my dog ran around getting energy out for 15 minutes, which means the other 10 minutes in the session were going over the same things we discussed before, the other 5 remaining minutes we would sometimes learn something. The trainer kept saying this is natural, dogs need to get their energy out. So in otherwords the clock ran up with minimal learning session. Money out of my pocket and into his. I was pissed as I put down 1000 dollars for a trainer to tell me the same things I learned at home essentially. Neighbors, family members, and friends all who had trainers before, said the training practice of essentially starving your dog and only feeding my dog on walks is absurd, my dog started puking because he didn't eat that much, as the trainer said don't feed him if he didn't pay attention to you on walks. As I should only feed him on walks. Very dissatisfied with the training. He says that you only need 30 minutes per session, that's a huge lie.

After adopting Dietr from Mastiffs to Mutts Rescue, we decided we needed help with addressing the needs of a big dog in our home and around others. We immediately reached out to Ryan. And now, we've graduated! I say we because Dietr and I became a team with Ryan’s extraordinary guidance. Ryan tailored our training to ensure that I learned how to read Dietr and provide him with all the information needed to behave as I wanted. Dietr learned how to be neutral around other dogs and concentrate on me, which is a must with a 110-pound puppy. We have trained dogs with Ryan in the past and his focus on customizing your training to suit the needs of you and your dog makes him the best! I would recommend Ryan for anyone with a dog of any age that needs to learn to listen. The bonus of the training is that it builds an incredible bond between you and your dog. Thank you, Ryan!!

Ryan’s training so far has been nothing short of life changing for our family. My wife and I came to Ryan with a very aggressive English Bulldog (Jack) and a French Bulldog (Jill) who did not want to listen. As of today we are five sessions in and have already seen substantial improvements in both dogs. Specifically with Jack, he would go after people in his “territory” as well as attack Jill in house. About a week ago Jack went after someone in our front lawn and towards the main road, however by using Ryan’s training and commands, for the first time ever he stopped in his tracks, turned around and came right back to me before reaching the stranger. We have never been able to stop him until now. There was also a situation where Jack went after Jill, as he often did in the house. Again using Ryan’s commands and training, we were able to get him to immediately stop and go straight to his crate without touching Jill. We are so happy, impressed and satisfied with the training so far and are excited to see the progress the rest of our sessions bring. Thank you so much, Ryan! We can’t express how much this school has changed the dynamic in our home.

Ryan was a consummate professional, making himself available as an excellent source of information and guidance through training our dog. I highly recommend getting in touch with Ryan, whether you have a new pup or a dog that isn’t quite catching on to how to behave. Going through his program reinforced what we knew as current dog owners and taught us new skills to elevate our abilities. We started from ground zero and built up a consistent line of communication between us and our newest dog, which has been essential for ensuring we can provide the best life for a high energy and reactive dog (not to mention this boy is 100lbs with the bite of a crocodile). To summarize, working with Ryan you will always get an honest assessment and realistic outlook on what you need to work with yourself and your dog. You can expect to gain the necessary tools you need to train your dog and give it the best life possible. 19/10, but Google only let’s me give 5 stars.
