I don't even know where to start with how much Kim has been a blessing to our family. We were told that we should give our newly adopted dog back to the shelter because he was "aggressive." I reached out to Kim, feeling desperate for someone to help us, because we saw the potential in our big guy (Mojo) and wanted someone else to see that potential, too. She responded the same day and gave us so much hope.
Upon meeting Kim the first time, we knew we found an angel who would be able to help us! She even signed a contract that stated she would not leave us, we needed that reassurance! She also told us that Mojo wasn't aggressive, he just needed to learn some manners. He was, as she lovingly put it, a "creepy dog."
She spent so much time, coming to our house, training us on how to be the best owners to Mojo. She was available by text at all hours. We would go on field trips to different places to make sure Mojo was polite in public and not just in the home. She also set up dog parties in which we would be able to take Mojo and meet other dogs that Kim had trained to socialize him.
The thing that sets Kim apart from other trainers is that she understands dog behavior and psychology. Kim knows how they're going to react by watching their body language/breathing, and explains how we, as owners, can correct or encourage it. Her passion for dog training is evident in everything she does, every story she tells, and every part of her life. I don't say it lightly when I say she is a dog whisperer.
We often talk about how we would have missed out on the world's best dog if we would have listened to those who said to return him. Mojo has grown and learned so much and he would not be where he is now without Kim. She is the greatest at what she does.

Kim has helped me train my last three dogs. I don’t know what I would have done without her guidance and canine knowledge. She has really helped me become a better dog owner. Currently I have two pups that have a lot of energy, different personalities and are smart. She guided me through how to walk 2 dogs together and has set up my puppies and myself for success. Here they are on a down stay!

They say dog training is for the human in the relationship...especially true in this sense. Not only was Kim the best trainer we've ever had (and there have been many throughout the years.) But spend 5 minutes with her and you'll quickly learn she's amazingly knowledgeable. She makes you and your dog feel safe and comfortable. Progress was seen after the very first lesson and she gave us the skills to continue his training long into the future. If you have a dog that needs help, stop reading this and reach out to Kim immediately. You will not regret it.

Me and my family are so greatful for kim. We rescued a golden doodle with a big attitude. Before we met Kim the family was deciding if we had to give him back. Within a month of training we noticed our dog, Stanley, less stressed and respecting the family. The family was completely comfortable. By the end of training Stanley was the best behaved and loving dog we ever had. Training with Kim opened up so much opportunities for the family. We're excited to take Stanley hiking, shopping and out for coffee! We highly recommend Kim! Wish we knew about her sooner!

Kim is fantastic. A true lover of animals. She explains the reason behind all of her instruction. The one on one lessons are tailored to your animal needs and the owners problem areas. Kim is focused on helping the whole family improve their interactions, fun, and relationships with their dog/puppy.

Kim is just the best. She operates with a total passion, understanding, and love for dogs. Have worked with several trainers over the years, and none come even close to Kim's expertise and quality as a trainer.

Thank God for Kim! Our girl Sadie was a real handful and challenged us all day, every day over everything! Our neighbors had used Kim for their rescue pup and had such wonderful results so I asked for her information. After the training sessions, I couldn't imagine surviving the first year with our girl Sadie if we did not have Kim's help! Not only did she train Sadie and us, Kim holds a regular "puppy party" that our girl loves to attend! After a party, she just lays around the rest of the day recovering from playing so hard! I get compliments every single time I am out about Sadie's good behavior. We even got a new puppy after Sadie and the puppy was trained by just watching her sister! Kim is a rock star and I would recommend her to anyone!

Should you find a trait that causes you stress or even the thought of giving up your pup......there is obedience. I have been involved in several claims to redirect unwanted behavior. It is not until I found my shelter pups and the amazing trainer, KIm Ryan with quality canines did I live my dream with my pups. I have 4 dogs boundary trained. They sit for cars, sit for people, sit for puppies, sit in the car, sit for children and sit for the street These commands can be given verbally or with hand signals. My dogs do not bolt out of an open door but instead wait for each of their names to be called to go through the door. This trainer proves a loving technique, ongoing pup parties works. If you are experiencing an issue with your pup, KIm will say "bring it on". She demonstrates pure loving kindness and the dog listens to her time and again. Give your dog the chance he/she deserves

Kim worked with both of our dogs and was professional, courteous and SO knowledgable. We felt very comfortable with her training methods and knew our dogs were in great hands. We have called her multiple times since our training sessions ended and each time she spent time working with us through any issues or concerns we had. I HIGHLY recommend Kim to all those pet owners who are looking for the BEST in training!

We used Kim's services in the training of our dog Gizmo and we are 100% satisfied in the outcome. Kim has educated us as to how to use firm, fair, and humane techniques while training Gizmo. She was professional, caring, responsive and very willing to truly listen to our concerns regarding Gizmo. We always had her support during and after his training package was completed. Kim wants the dog and dog guardians to be happy and balanced. Well worth the cost, we highly recommend Kim's services. Gizmo is a totally different dog since training with Kim. He is a pleasure to have in our home.

We would highly recommend Kim. We have used her for training for both of our dogs. She is very passionate about what she does. She uses only positive reinforcement with the dogs. She is also available for follow up questions or help after the training is complete. She provides the training in your home so you can put it to use in acutal situations!! Love her and would highly recommend her for your dog training needs.

Kim is a fantastic dog trainer. She has helped our entire family with our three dogs. She not only is an expert in the field of dog training, but she is obviously passionate about what she does. She cares deeply about the health and happiness of the dogs she trains. Her commitment to our dogs is life long. There have been many times that I have had follow up questions for Kim once our training has ended, and she has immediately provided me with helpful and useful information. You will not be able to find a better dog trainer! I can't recommend Kim enough!less

Kim came into our home and trained my two Cavalier King Charles Spaniels. She restored order to our home, my dogs are well behaved, obedient and happier pups because of her. I have seen Kim work with both aggressive and scared dogs and it amazes me to see how she can help them. Her dog parties provide a safe environment to socialize your dog, we have all trained our dogs with her and they all follow the same commands. Kim is cares so much about every dog she trains and is always just a phone call away if we need anything or our dog lapses back to their old, bad behaviors. My dogs love Auntie Kim and are always so happy to see her.

We adopted our dog from a local animal shelter and soon afterwards she began showing signs of aggression to anyone outside our family. Kim trained both our dog and our family how to work with Libby and the results were nothing short of a miracle. We now have the best, friendliest dog you can find. She is obedient, walks perfectly, and the aggression is long gone. Kim is a professional who understands a dog's behavior and how to correct problems. Without Kim we would have taken Libby back to the shelter. It was the best training money can buy and I have never regretted it. Kim is a warm and caring person and she is not afraid to tackle any problem a dog might be having. Call Kim and explain to her what your dog's issues are. She will go over her teaching methods with you. Then hire her and you will soon have the best dog in the world!

Kim is a great trainer, very patient and able to train dogs very quickly. I've had 2 golden retrievers and having Kim train them early really made for outstanding dogs that I could take anywhere and they were very well behaved. She also works with the trainers on how to keep up the training. Would definately use her again.

Kim is most knowledgeable about behavioral techniques for almost any situation. She is positive, energetic, and the dogs adore her. I highly recommend Kim if you need training for your pup.
