Ruby our Morkie puppy trained at K-9 Enrichment for a year. Ryan is a fabulous trainer and Ruby loved going to doggy school. She was excited to learn and play with the other dogs. Ryan, the owner/trainer really loves the dogs. We’ve saw dramatic improvements in Ruby. She was aggressive and bossy with other dogs. Our friends thought she was a terror. They called her kujo because she couldn’t get along with their morkies. Now she’s able to interact appropriately and she’s learning discipline and obedience. At home she is much better behaved too. With our busy schedule and 4 kids, it’s so convenient for me to drop Ruby off for a day of training and pick her up on my way home.
Each day Ryan is super helpful and he’ll share with me tips and techniques to help me continue her training at home. Every time I asked for help, he had a suggestion that works. From chasing bicycles and skateboards, to eating candy and snacks around her- he works to train her. (She loves candy.) She was begging and stealing food right out of my hands on the couch. I told Ryan about it and in a few days of working with him she stopped.
I highly recommend K-9 Enrichment Center. It’s incredibly clean, Ryan is always friendly and helpful and Ruby is learning so much. Ruby comes home dog tired each day. We’ve recommended K-9 to friends and they have all been very happy with Ryan and K-9!

Ryan and team have done wonders for our Great Dane! Not only has Ryan spent a lot of time with our Dane, he’s spent a lot of time teaching my fiancé and I how to manage and work with him when he’s not having the time of his life at K9 Enrichment Center! Ryan always goes above and beyond for the dogs, he really puts his heart into his work and the animals under his care. Ryan, we can’t thank you enough for all that you’ve done for us. I have 4 doggy day care centers between my house and K9 Enrichment Center and I don’t hesitate to drive past them and go the extra mile, because Ryan and team goes the extra mile for all of the dogs they take care of. You can recognize the love he has for dogs in him as soon as you meet him. In fact I’ve referred other friends that make the extra drive to keep their dog under Ryan’s care.
For anyone in the area wondering where to take their dog for training or day care, this is your spot! Hands down the best trainer I’ve ever worked with.

Ryan and Crystal where great to work with. We took our labradoodle Jozie for 4 weeks. She’s made huge improvements every week. We learned so much from watching them work with her and them answering any question we had. There facility is really clean and very welcoming. I would recommend Ryan and Crystal to everyone.

Frankie went to the K-9 Enrichment Center for two weeks for boarding and training. Ryan was absolutely fabulous walking not only Frankie, but me as well, through everything. He consistently made her feel comfortable, loved, and respected, while training her to be the best she could be. She’s still my happy-go-lucky puppy, but she’s so much easier to walk. Highly recommend!
