Introduction

**PLEASE CALL AT NINE 045957438 OR Schedule training at RuffHDT.com** Featured on WUSA9, C-Span, and at the National Press Club, Ryan is gaining recognition for his amazing skill in being able to connect with the owner and the dog to ensure a great relationship for both, the dog and human. I like to help owners connect with their dogs. I make it so you can understand in human terms how your behavior either positively or negatively affects your companion. I make it my personal mission to make sure that you have a much better understanding of how the relationship between you and your dog should be. I also lay the foundation for building a trusting, positive relationship between you and your dog. I understand what you're going through and will guide you to happiness. It's time for you to take your life back and enjoy your dog.

I have a rescue puppy, and she's what we think a shepherd/hound mix. She's wonderful, extremely smart, and very affectionate. But, she's a puppy, and I'm hopelessly in love with her, so a lot of her negative behavior remains unfixed. She jumps, she begs for food, she pulls on the leash, she is very possessive of me to the point of aggression, and a whole host of other issues. So finally I reached out for a trainer, and from the start Ryan was my choice. Very polite and personable while organizing the training dates, and very informative during our lesson. It wasn't just training the puppy, it was training me as well, which I think is something everyone can benefit from. The same day after training, my friends all noticed a change in my dog and her responsiveness to my commands. She's still a work in progress, but she improves every day with what Ryan taught us. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a qualified and effective trainer!

Ryan made room on his schedule to fit us in. Our new adopted dog became very aggressive on the 8th day we had him. Ryan came to our house and worked with us and our dog. He showed us how to react to his aggression and provided proper walking training. He had great advice and answered all of our questions. He is very pleasant to work with and very professional as well. We highly recommend him.

From the first time Ryan met myself and my 9 month old chocolate lab, he was a tremendous help. He helped me give my pup the structure that was needed. Gus has shown marked improvement throughout the time multiple meetings with Ryan. I would certainly recommend Ryan to those in need of training for their dog.

Ruff House Dog Training's reply

Thank you for giving me the opportunity to help you out. I was excited to get Gus to do the "place" command. That was great. Please let me know if I can help you out any further. Take care!

We had a great experience with Ryan for our dog Charlie. We had already been through petco training class which was useless and one other private trainer whos methods did not work for Charlie. Charlie listened when Charlie felt like it. After training with Ryan Charlie listens all the time now. He has improved in so many things such as walking and reacting on the leash and understanding what yes and no means. The best part is our 11 year old dog who has never been trained is now following by Charlies example. Also I contacted Ryan many times throughout Charlies training and he always got back to me by either text or phone calls to answer any questions I had. Thank you Ryan for all of your help it was great working with you!!!

We have two Australian cattle dog puppies that want to play and not listen. Ryan is changing that. I can take them for a walk at the same time and they are well behaved. They sit, lay down and are coming when called and we have only had 3 lessons! I can hardly wait to see what they are like at the end of the training. Best money ever spent! Ryan is awesome!👍🏻

FAQs

What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I like to see what the issue is in their current setting. Most times, it's not the dog that's the problem. I want to understand what you are doing so I can focus my effort on fixing it.
How did you get started doing this type of work?
I love dogs. I believe they are extremely smart and loyal. I don't believe in "bad dogs" and I have taken on the responsibility to eliminate the mindset of people regarding "vicious breeds".
What types of customers have you worked with?
I've worked with pups from 3 months to 9 years old. I've worked with rescues and aggressive behaviors, dogs that can't walk on a leash, dog aggressive dogs, and more. I'm not afraid of a challenge, I welcome it and we have fun working through the solution together.
