We signed our 4 month old BullMastiff in Ruff House six week obedience training. Today was our first session and a lot was learned. We are excited and look forward to learning more, Ryan is very knowledgeable in what he is doing. We highly recommend Ruff House for your dog training needs.
Ryan has done and exceptional job with our Nova in such a short period of time. The transformation has been incredible! Our dog is more confident, obedient, focused, and much easier to manage. What impressed us most was the Ryan’s ability to teach us—not just train our dog. Every question was answered thoroughly, and we always felt supported and encouraged throughout the process. If you’re searching for someone who is knowledgeable, dependable, compassionate, and truly committed to helping dogs and their families succeed, look no further. We are beyond grateful for the positive difference this training has made in our home and highly recommend this Ryan with Ruff House Dog Training.
My wife and I rescued a seven year old big dog. He had been trained before and obeys and understands most commands or "words", but cannot restrain rushing to the door and being very friendly with visitors and guests.. hired Ryan to help .He gave us the "90 minute" lesson. I strongly advise anyone interested in a trainer; interview them first. Understand the METHOD that trainer will use and be sure you are comfortable using that method on your dog. Understand exactly How they/YOU will act with your dog. "Ruff" may not mean "woof".
We were having issues with our Border Collie not being able to calm down around our newborn and had Ryan come out to help. After we did his 90 minute session, she’s like a new dog! We learned how to control her better and what actions to take when she’s overstimulated. He also helped us with walking her and our other dogs and our walks are 100x more peaceful now that they both don’t pull like crazy and aren’t as reactive to other dogs walking by. Highly recommend!
We had our first session with Ryan to begin training our German Shepherd puppy, and we are absolutely thrilled. Ryan is incredibly personable and clearly has a deep understanding of dog behavior. What we appreciated most was how he tailored the entire session specifically to our goals and our pup's needs, rather than showing up with a rigid, one-size-fits-all plan. He is a true "dog whisperer"—watching him work with our puppy was amazing. We learned so much in just one visit and are genuinely looking forward to the rest of our sessions. Highly recommend Ryan to anyone looking for a top-tier trainer!

It’s impressive to see Ryan at work.
Now I can take him out in public without him snapping and growling.
He was clearly comfortable and knowledgeable in handling dogs.
