Lester's Kennels

We cannot say enough good things about our experience with Lester’s Kennels! We were recommended to them by a family friend, and we are so thankful we found them for our puppy’s training! They did such an amazing job training her while also teaching us the tools and techniques to continue working with her at home. We’ve learned that training takes time and consistency, and it’s important for us to reinforce everything Storm learned from Ryan once she was home. They gave us the confidence and knowledge to keep building on her progress!! Storm was also very well cared for while she was there. We loved getting updates, pictures, and knowing she was happy, safe, and being well taken care of! We are so impressed with the training she received and would HIGHLY recommend Ryan and Sarah to anyone looking for training and genuine care for their dog!

We were super confident in Ryan's abilities as a trainer. When I sent our golden off for e-collar training and shed hunting. Ryan explained his methods carefully and clearly. We were relieved that Cooper was able to adapt to different training methods and take commands from Ryan effectively. When we got cooper back it took a bit of patience, but the foundations were there and able to be reinforced. We have been able to walk around in the woods and feel him get comfortable walking off leash with the e collar. He was able to find a shed his second time out and we'll continue his training. We feel confident in Ryan's training so much so that we look forward to sending our toller in the spring. He did a great job and we highly recommend his services.

Working with Ryan has been a game-changer for both me and my dog, Otto. From the very first session, it was clear that Ryan not only understood dogs but also genuinely listened to me and what I needed for Otto. He took the time to learn about Otto’s personality, habits, and challenges—and just as importantly, what I was hoping to achieve. Whether it was helping with leash reactivity, improving recall, or just creating a more calm and responsive dog at home, Ryan tailored his approach to fit us perfectly. His calm, confident energy instantly put Otto at ease, and his ability to read both of us made each session productive and positive. He broke things down in a way that made sense and gave me the tools to continue reinforcing training outside our sessions. It never felt like a one-size-fits-all program—everything was customized, thoughtful, and respectful of Otto’s temperament and my goals as an owner. Thanks to Ryan, Otto is not only better behaved, but our bond is stronger than ever. I’m incredibly grateful and would highly recommend Ryan to anyone looking for a dog trainer who truly listens, understands, and delivers results.
