You love them. You just can't go on as you are.
- Lost
- Exhausted
- Drained
- Conflicted
That is how most people feel before they get in touch. They love their dog, but they can't go on as they are. Some are anxious to even take their dog out, or fearful of meeting other dogs or people when out walking.
What changes
My clients find a sense of confidence they didn't think they'd have. A feeling of freedom they didn't expect, and a happiness that they can enjoy their dog and have the skills to manage them regardless of the situation.
Some clients were told they had to put their dog to sleep before meeting me. Now they have a dog that's restful sat outside their favourite cafe.

A police dog handler with a reactive dog of my own
Despite being a police dog handler, I had a reactive Shar Pei. He challenged my knowledge and expertise and I decided I wanted to help people out of the situation I was in.
I know my experiences as a police dog handler gave me the edge most dog trainers didn't have, and I knew I could bring a unique perspective to my clients thanks to my background.
What my clients say
5.0 on Google from 11 reviewsAmazing!! We had Ryan for a consultation with our cockapoo woody when he was a puppy, and have had some follow up sessions too. Each session Ryan works wonders with woody, he has so much knowledge and we are so pleased with how much progress woody has made! We’ve worked on recall, basic commands and recently excessive barking/jumping up and Ryan has worked his magic on all of the above with Woody. Always feel so relaxed during sessions and Woody definitely enjoys his sessions despite them being training!Can’t thank Ryan enough!
Supportive
Ryan is professional and very supportive. I had four weeks to make a difference to my young dogs. We did it, I say “we” because Ryan gave me the confidence to be able to do what I needed to do every day. I am grateful. Thank you Ryan.
I learned more from 30 minutes talking to Ryan than I did from all the sessions I paid for at [another trainer]. Ryan genuinely cares about every dog he works with and it shows. He takes the time to understand the individual dog, never rushing the process and always does what he believes is best for them, not what gives him more likes on social media. His knowledge, patience and honesty are second to none. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to anyone looking for a dog trainer who can actually give you results. Well worth every single penny.
I would absolutely recommend Ryan 100%. He has worked wonders with my 7 month old headstrong, super excitable male German Shepherd pup. I was struggling with his over excitability, which was presenting as jumping up/excessive biting, lunging at other dogs and on lease pulling. Ryan gave me a range of strategies to manage Luca, which has resulted, not only in a huge improvement in his behaviour, but also gave me much more confidence to manage him. I was beginning to dread walking in busy places, but now it is a pleasure! Ryan takes the time to explain why your dog is displaying certain behaviours and makes sure that you understand the reasoning behind the strategies employed. If anyone is looking for a professional, knowledgeable and caring dog trainer, Ryan is your man. Thank you for everything.
The BEST trainer!
From the moment I met Ryan, I felt so comfortable and at ease. I’ve used many trainers in the past and Ryan’s hands down is the best. He feels like a friend, and someone who genuinely wants to help… which is something I’ve not experienced with other trainers. It’s obvious he’s very passionate about his clients and their dogs, it’s more than just a job to him. My Collie Mali took to him straight away, which she’s never done with other trainers! She’s so happy to see Ryan every time. We’ve also attended a few Sunday Socials which have been incredible for practicing her training with lots of distractions around. I’ll never use anyone else, I’m very picky with who gets to be around my dog and I’ll never trust anyone as much as I trust Ryan. Thank you for everything!!
Reading this late at night?
If you're reading this late at night because you're worried about your dog, take a breath. You're not the first owner to feel like you've run out of answers, and you certainly won't be the last. Whatever is going on, there is a good chance we can make things better. I won't judge you or your dog, and I won't give you a load of complicated advice that doesn't work in real life. We'll work out what's actually going on, put a clear plan in place and take it one step at a time. You don't need to fix everything tonight. You just need to take the first step. If you're ready to make a change, complete the short Modern Dog Academy assessment and we'll take it from there.
