Our trainer, Ryan is like no other. He truly understands K9s and knows his craft better than I've ever seen..even better than those celebrity trainers on TV. He assesses the dogs behavior, sees the environment and is able to use proactive approaches in his training sessions. He uses positive reinforcement methods. No shock collars, no negative discipline approaches, no fear to gain control. He is truly a dog whisperer and a great human trainer so we can be the best pet owners possible. In our first 3 sessions, our 8 month old puppy has improved by 80% and only gaining more skills at home daily bc of the great training methods taught.

I needed training for my dogs & am so thankful I found the K-9 Enrichment Center! Ryan & Crystle are amazing at what they do — they are very knowledgeable, kind and patient. I love that they focus on positive reinforcement techniques. I’ve had my puppy in day trainings & a lesson on the weekends since February & it has made a huge difference! My older dog has also been coming to trainings to work on his separation anxiety & to learn how to properly socialize with other dogs. This center has been a godsend - exactly what my dogs needed! Ryan & Crystle go above & beyond — they care for your dogs like they were their own. My dogs are happier, calmer, less anxious & more obedient now. Any time I have an issue that I’m trying to fix (crate training, separation anxiety, car rides, obedience, etc) they offer plenty of helpful suggestions & techniques. I am so grateful to have found K-9 Enrichment Center! Thank you Ryan & Crystle for your amazing work!!

Let me first start by saying I would never in my life leave my dogs with someone else, especially that I didn’t know for a long time. We spent 1 day a week for 5 weeks with Ryan & Crystal to help us get our dysfunctional dogs under control, while learning some things ourselves. It was great to help the wife build confidence and understand the dogs better. After the few weeks I did something I never thought I’d do. I left one of my boys for the day without me to get socialization. They do a great job and if anybody is like me, my dogs are as important to me as anybody in my family. So this week we are sending both dogs for the day. Not only do they get stimulation while at work but they come home tired and calm. They do an awesome job of helping you understand but making you feel comfortable leaving your pups with them. Thanks Ryan & Crystal.

Ryan and Crystal have always been absolutely amazing with our dog. We have a very energetic dog that requires a trainer to understand him. Let me tell you I have never been more proud of the changes our boy has made in his behaviors and that’s all thanks to Ryan and his guidance in his training. We confide so much that when we leave on long vacations we let our boy board with them. Our dog Alphino absolutely loves going to the center and we wouldn’t know where we would be if we couldn’t rely on Ryan and Crystal. I highly recommend them.

We highly recommend K-9 Enrichment Center. Ryan and his team are amazing! We rescued a 7-month old husky/golden mix who had only ever known life in a shelter. He needed to learn basic commands, but more importantly, he needed to learn to trust humans and acquire proper social skills with other dogs. Ryan taught him both in a very short time. He loves to go to "school" now! K-9 Enrichment Center is reasonably priced and really love what they do. Thank you K-9 Enrichment Center!
