Introduction: **PLEASE CALL AT NINE 045957438 OR Schedule training at RuffHDT.com** Featured on WUSA9, C-Span, and at the National Press Club, Ryan is gaining recognition for his amazing skill in being able to connect with the owner and the dog to ensure a great relationship for both, the dog and human. I like to help owners connect with their dogs. I make it so you can understand in human terms how your behavior either positively or negatively affects your companion. I make it my personal mission to make sure that you have a much better understanding of how the relationship between you and your dog should be. I also lay the foundation for building a trusting, positive relationship between you and your dog. I understand what you're going through and will guide you to happiness. It's time for you to take your life back and enjoy your dog.

I was really worried because my Dottie tested the trainer...He nipped him but within 10+15 min he had him eating out of his hands and doing what he directed. He was very gentle but firm with me and how I lent to my dogs behavior. Absolutely a great training with a great trainer!

I have a rescue puppy, and she's what we think a shepherd/hound mix. She's wonderful, extremely smart, and very affectionate. But, she's a puppy, and I'm hopelessly in love with her, so a lot of her negative behavior remains unfixed. She jumps, she begs for food, she pulls on the leash, she is very possessive of me to the point of aggression, and a whole host of other issues. So finally I reached out for a trainer, and from the start Ryan was my choice. Very polite and personable while organizing the training dates, and very informative during our lesson. It wasn't just training the puppy, it was training me as well, which I think is something everyone can benefit from. The same day after training, my friends all noticed a change in my dog and her responsiveness to my commands. She's still a work in progress, but she improves every day with what Ryan taught us. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a qualified and effective trainer!

Ryan is wonderful! His ability to gather information, access the situation and begin a course of action to guide a family towards a happy life is inspiring. We have had dogs for over 30 years. We had attempted obedience training and decided that we were happy as things were; A contented family with a family dog who ran the home but was so cute! A recent adoption startled us in the realization that we needed help. Our new dog wanted to run the home but wasnt cute about it. He growled, snarled and barked his demands. Since Ryans first session, life has improved dramatically. We are so encouraged that Ryan has given us the tools to begin reclaiming a happy family life. We look forward to continuing with Ryan so we stay on track. When I say we, I meant it. My husband and I also needed Ryans education and knowledge. Ryan taught us that we were feeding the chaos by how we were handling the situations. We thank Ryan for his help and highly recommend his services!

We have two Australian cattle dog puppies that want to play and not listen. Ryan is changing that. I can take them for a walk at the same time and they are well behaved. They sit, lay down and are coming when called and we have only had 3 lessons! I can hardly wait to see what they are like at the end of the training. Best money ever spent! Ryan is awesome!👍🏻

Ryan was excellent and understood the needs of me and my rescue dog, Silo. After our training, we acquired an excellent obedience foundation that gave me much more control over Silo inside the house and outside on walks. For someone who had no idea where to start, Ryan was helpful and patient. His willingness to visit us rather than us traveling to him was an enormous help as well.

FAQs

What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I like to see what the issue is in their current setting. Most times, it's not the dog that's the problem. I want to understand what you are doing so I can focus my effort on fixing it.
How did you get started doing this type of work?
I love dogs. I believe they are extremely smart and loyal. I don't believe in "bad dogs" and I have taken on the responsibility to eliminate the mindset of people regarding "vicious breeds".
What types of customers have you worked with?
I've worked with pups from 3 months to 9 years old. I've worked with rescues and aggressive behaviors, dogs that can't walk on a leash, dog aggressive dogs, and more. I'm not afraid of a challenge, I welcome it and we have fun working through the solution together.
