FirstBarkOur experience was awesome! We brought our new 15 month old dog to Ryan for two weeks of training and what a difference it made in her behavior! Additionally, he was more than willing to work with her again after we brought her back home to refresh her skills!

If I could give Ryan 10 stars, I would! Our mini Bernedoodle, Finley, spent two weeks with Ryan and returned home a total gentleman. Finley used to have severe separation anxiety, baby shark biting sessions and a lot of trouble sleeping in his kennel. Now? He sleeps peacefully through the night without a single issue, his potty training is on point, he still bites but WAY less (I mean he is a puppy) and his manners are incredible ('place,' 'sit,' 'down,' and leash walking!). Ryan is a phenomenal trainer who doesn't just train the dog—he trains the family. The in-home follow-up sessions are teaching us how to properly communicate with Finley. He completely transformed our pup and he continues to try and give us the tools to keep it up. Highly, highly recommend!
Great experience working with Ryan. He’s an incredible trainer and great with giving us updates on how our pup was doing. Our dog stayed with him for two weeks and is amazing at home now. Definitely worth the investment!

I have had just two private lessons with Ryan and my 1.5 year old pup is already showing huge progress. Ryan listened to my concerns and was confident and reassuring about his training style. You can tell he loves the work and loves the pups! I couldn't recommend him enough!! I took my dog to a different trainer when he was 6 months old and was unfortunately disappointed in the result, but Ryan has already exceeded my expectations!

Ryan has been absolutely incredible with our puppy, Chloe! From the very beginning, it was clear how knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely caring he is with dogs. Chloe warmed up to him quickly, and we’ve seen such amazing progress in her behavior and confidence thanks to his training. In addition to being an excellent trainer, Ryan also provides dog boarding services that are just as outstanding. We always feel completely at ease leaving Chloe in his care, knowing she’s safe, happy, and getting plenty of attention and exercise. He treats her like his own, and that level of trust is priceless. Ryan is reliable, communicative, and truly passionate about what he does. We couldn’t recommend him more highly to anyone looking for top-notch dog training or boarding services. Chloe absolutely adores him—and so do we!
