We went to Ryan for a 6-week puppy class after getting a pug puppy. I think what differentiates Ryan's teaching is that he educates you on the science and behavior aspect of why training techniques do or don't work. He's teaching us as pet parents so we can cnlontinue to train our dog after the class is over. During his class, he had other trainers there to help, so we always had someone to ask questions and show us different skills that worked for our puppy. Our puppy, Willow, is getting the hang of it. We've even had people compliment how good she is! This is the first time I've ever trained my own dog, and having someone this experienced has taught me a lot!

Ryan Sharpe at Insight K9 Solutions is without question the best dog trainer in the area. I was so impressed by the results of our experience with Ryan I felt I had to share our story. Like many people during the COVID pandemic we adopted a dog. We felt confident in our research about different types of breeds that would fit well with our family’s lifestyle and activity level. Living in the city we were also looking for a breed that would make people with bad intentions think twice before approaching our persons or property. We settled on adopting a working line German Shepherd as the breed checked off all the boxes; loyal, confident, courageous, and easily trained. We read tons of books about German Shepherds and watched lots of training videos. YouTube makes it look so easy we thought we were prepared for what we were getting into. We were not at all prepared for the Tasmanian Devil we brought home. We did not expect the jumping, biting, destructivity, animal reactivity, fear of firework explosions, general unruliness – the list can go on. The dogs behavior and our inability to alter her behavior caused a considerable amount of stress in our household. We were at the end of our patience and had decided to rehome the dog. But as fate would have it a colleague of mine recommended my wife and I contact Ryan Sharpe for help. When we met Ryan we explained our exasperation with the dog and insisted that there must be something wrong with her. We were doubtful he could help. In one of the most honest and frank discussions I have ever had, Ryan explained in a polite and professional manner that the issue was us not the dog. He explained that “German Shepherds are gonna German Shepherd” and the behaviors we were describing are typical of a young working dog. Ryan explained that the pup lacked boundaries and that it was our responsibility to learn to be clear in how we communicate with her for the relationship to develop. We felt so much better after meeting with Ryan and relieved that we still had a chance to avoid rehoming our puppy. We agreed to a 2 week board and train to lay an obedience foundation on her and a series of private lessons to improve our skills and knowledge as German Shepherd handlers. Fast forward 6 months and we have a completely different relationship with our dog. She understands our expectations and is truly eager and enthusiastic to work with us. She is everything we imagined owning a dog would be like. Please if you’re having issues with you dog or if you would like to bring your dog to the next level in any activity reach out to Ryan. He is a real pro and you won’t be disappointed. We can’t thank him enough! Thanks to Ryans experience, compassion, patience, and dedication to training we now happily live with that loyal, confident, courageous, and steady dog we hoped for. The Klein Family
