Next Level K9

Ryan is a very good dog trainer. Connected with him for my 91lb pure breed chocolate lab who had tons of energy and little discipline. Hudson would drag me down the street and never listened. After just 2 sessions with Ryan there was a real difference in how we handled Hudson and how Hudson responded to directives and commands. After 8 sessions I decided to add 4 more in order for Ryan to help me e- collar train Hudson. Ryan is firm yet not aggressive and my dog absolutely loves him. I would highly recommend Ryan if you need training in order for you to support your fur baby living its best life. Thank you Ryan for helping me help my pup! Ryan was communicative, consistent, calm, firm, punctual, and overall a great dog trainer.

I found Ryan online and decided to call him since he is experienced with dogs with high drive. My 4 month doberman puppy Ozzy had anxiety which is a breed trait and I needed someone who can understand the dog and his needs. Ryan spent the first session understanding my pup and noticing his behavior under multiple circumstances. This was a positive sign for me. In the coming weeks he trained him to overcome one situation at a time. He was attentive and has patience towards dogs. Dobermans are a sensitive breed and he gave him the right amount of love and discipline needed. We booked 8 sessions and we saw a significant difference after every session. At the end, my pup is 5.5 months old, capable of off leash walking in highly populated areas, responds well to recall, non reactive to other d

My husband and I adopted our dog Skittles from a local shelter when she was 6 months old. Overall she was a great puppy but we were struggling with basic listening commands in dog parks and walking her on leash. She also had a nasty habit of eating other dogs poop and virtually anything she found on the ground. We were becoming increasingly frustrated because we would not be able to stop her if she got something in her mouth. We had worked with another trainer but it wasn't a good fit and she had eaten a tennis ball and needed emergency surgery to get it out. When we booked Next Level K9 for 8 sessions- the turnaround we saw in her were amazing. Ryan worked with her on impulse control, basic listening, walking and recall. He also gave us the tools to take what we learned in training and ap

Ryan was a great trainer with Miso! Miso’s behavior has improved tremendously (and is gradually continuing to do so) thanks to Ryan’s sessions. Ryan was extremely accommodating, informative, and adjusted his training to fit Miso’s needs. I can’t recommend Ryan’s services with Next Level K9 enough!!!

I’ve had the pleasure of working with Ryan and NEXT LEVEL K9 for the past three-four months, and I can confidently say he is one of the most compassionate and knowledgeable dog trainers I’ve encountered. From the very first session, it was clear that he doesn’t just train dogs—he truly understands them. His approach is rooted in empathy and respect for each dog’s unique personality, and he takes the time to build trust, not just with the dog, but with the owner as well. What sets Ryan apart is the combination of experience and intuition he brings to every session. He reads a dog’s behavior with ease and explains things in a way that empowers owners to feel more confident and connected with their pets. His calm confidence and deep passion for what he does are evident in every interaction,
