Synergy Cane9

Man, I can’t say enough good things about Synergy Cane9. My pitbull Renegade was outta control before we met Tim. Walks were a fight, people couldn’t come over, and I was straight up stressed out all the time. After a couple sessions, everything started changing. Tim doesn’t just work with the dog, he helps you figure your sh*t out so your dog can actually follow your lead. It’s not about treats or tricks — it’s real structure and energy. He held me to a higher standard and I am grateful. Renegade’s a different dog now. Calm, confident, and finally listening. I can finaly breath again. I can’t recomend Tim enough unless you’re not serios about putting in the work and having the best life with your dog. Will & Renegade

Before working with Tim, I had spoken with several different trainers trying to find help for my dog, Rio. Like most people, I turned to training because I was struggling with a specific issue: Rio’s intense anxiety whenever I was out of her direct line of sight. Other trainers told me that she would never get better if she was ever left alone, which was not realistic for my life. I work full-time Monday through Friday, had just moved to the Phoenix area, and did not have anyone nearby to help. I tried dog daycare, enrichment toys, and dog parks in hopes of tiring her out, but none of it actually addressed the root of her anxiety. It was all just a distraction from what she really needed. When I met Tim for a consultation, he immediately made me feel confident that he could help. He did not sugarcoat anything. His no-filter, no-BS approach held me accountable and taught me what it truly means to be a responsible dog owner. He pushed me to stop making excuses based on Rio’s backstory and start focusing on what she needed from me as a leader. With Tim’s guidance, I went from feeling trapped at home and guilty to even leave the house on weekends to having a balanced, fulfilling relationship with Rio. Now we do everything together: off-leash hikes, paddleboarding, road trips, and relaxing at cafés. Friends who once told me to return her to the humane society now cannot believe how calm and well-behaved she is. Working with Tim has not been easy, but it has been absolutely worth it. If you are willing to challenge your mindset, stay consistent, and trust the process, it will click, and you will finally understand the why behind everything you do. Tim did not just help me learn how to train my dog; he completely changed the way I connect with her.

Doing training for my XL bully Shiloh was by far the best decision I have made for my dog. I was hesitant in regard to training as I thought I already knew enough to train my dog but since we had an infant my wife insisted on doing professional training. Tim has taught me so much not only about my dog but about myself as well. I highly recommend training with Synergy Cane9 because the passion that Tim has for his craft shows in every dog and owner that he has worked with.

I fell in love with a dog from the jungle in Guam while working on a project there. I brought her back stateside with me and soon realized I needed help with some of her behavioral issues. Dot and I worked really hard on basic obedience, but her fears, anxiety, and reactivity were out of control and unmanageable. We overcame a lot of things together with the exception of her reactivity toward dogs and her overall anxiety levels. She would almost pull me down even seeing another dog from over 100 feet away and she was on constant alert. I worked with several "trainers" but to no avail. I was almost to the point of accepting defeat with our issues, but then Tim Ray of Synergy Cane9 came into our lives. This man truly understands dogs on every level, cares deeply about dogs and human beings, and he focuses on you and your dog developing a strong, trusting, and loving relationship. He spent a lot of time evaluating my dog, me, and our relationship. He developed a very personal and comprehensive plan of action to ensure we reached our goals while improving our relationship and bringing joy into our training journey. I cannot say enough about how knowledgeable Tim is, how genuinely invested he is, and how important my dog and our relationship is to him. I highly recommend Tim Ray of Synergy Cane9 if you want to build a strong, loving, and trusting relationship with your dog by changing yourself first. Once you commit to changing, your dog will follow, and the behavioral issues will disappear. Tim is absolutely the best of the best to help you understand this and hold you accountable to making the necessary changes within yourself! Thank you, Tim, for all of the guidance, coaching, and dedication you have provided to Dot and me, we are stronger together now! 💛
