At Ryker Dog Training, we provide effective and convenient solutions to dog problem behaviors. You and your dog will love learning together in a comfortable and supportive environment around other dogs and dog lovers. When you enroll in a program at Ryker, you receive personalized attention from a knowledgeable, friendly trainer. We will help you teach your dog essential manners and socialization skills while showing you how to reinforce those behaviors at home to make them stick. Our tried-and-true training techniques work because they are:
			
          
            
               • Grounded in balanced training principles using the methods that are the best fit for you and your dog or puppy.
            
            
              • Using the most effective training tool for your dog; which could be food, slip leads, prong collars, e-collars, or many other tools available. By educating our clients on the proper use of each tool, we eliminate the confusion caused by misinformation.
            
            
              • Pragmatically designed to prepare dogs for both everyday and unfamiliar real-world situations.

How many private sessions will you need?
