We are so thankful to have connected with AweDogs and Ryan. Our golden retriever puppy was a handful. After our first consultation with Ryan, he had her holding place commands and not pulling on the leash. We love to hike and now we have the confidence and freedom to take her hiking off leash and know that she will listen to our commands. Ryan is a great teacher and explains everything so well! He holds you accountable and wants to ensure you understand his methods so you are successful. Thank you Ryan!

I have been a dog groomer/vet tech and owned a dog rescue for 15 years have met numerous trainers, at conventions and in the fields, but I have never ever met anyone who has the knowledge that Awedogs has. I have a rescue who has failed multiple meet and greets, bit people, would not step foot near a crate and can not be handled, by the end of my first session this girl was not only trusting him enough to sit in his lap but going in a crate and being able to be at ease, this man understands dogs like no one I have ever met before. Five stars does not do him justice!!

In full disclosure, I have only done my consultation session with Ryan. But he had me sold on his service within the first half hour. Here's why: I attended a consultation with Dogs by Andy on a monday and Awedogs on a tuesday. There was absolutely no competition or comparison. Dogs by Andy couldn't even get my dog to come to them by bribing her with treats. They didnt do anything but talk about what they MIGHT be able to do. On the other hand, during my consultation with Ryan, he had my dog staying in place on a box while I walked away from her. This is a dog that bolts the second she can. AND SHE WAS STAYING IN PLACE ON A BOX. I had the biggest smile on my face the entire duration of the consultation. Not only did Ryan show me what HE could do with my dog but he also taught me in a way that I could understand and retain. If you have any question about what dog trainer to use I highly suggest you do a consultation with two different companies because you will honestly see the results yourself. I cannot wait to start training with Ryan!!!!

We have had an amazing experience working with Ryan! When we made the decision to get a puppy while having three young children, we knew that good training was going to be extremely important. Ryan always explains things in great detail and makes it easy to follow the steps. We are so extremely grateful for him and would highly recommend him to anyone with a dog!

Ryan is an excellent dog trainer and person. Could not ask for a better person to train your dog and to work with. Highly recommend him and have had several dogs trained by him over the years.
