Highly highly recommend Ryan is fab, extremely down to earth, easy going, and knowledgeable. We needed help with our crazy cocker spaniels, neither of them had any manners, couldn’t walk on a lead, and couldn’t settle anywhere. Fast forward a couple of months, and they’re doing brilliantly. I honestly couldn’t recommend Ryan enough

Absolutely Amazing Ryan is an absolutely amazing trainer, he has been with us since day one and we have made lots of progress thanks to his expertise and knowledge.

Honey my hyper goldendoodle loves him. I just wish she would work for us like she does for him 😂. Ryan offers great techniques and will always keep in contact between sessions. She has excellent recall thanks to Ryan but we still need support from time to time with her reactivity whilst on the lead. Would highly reccommend Ryan.

Invaluable skills! Having Ryan supporting training me and my Labrador pup has been an invaluable tool in her integration into family life. Not only does my dog learn to socialise with surroundings, achieve better manners but also how to play properly and having a puppy should at the very least be fun! Ryan is always at hand to answer any questions I have and always gives sound advice, it’s all working really well and I can’t recommend enough for you to be involved with Modern Dog Academy!

I would absolutely recommend Ryan 100%. He has worked wonders with my 7 month old headstrong, super excitable male German Shepherd pup. I was struggling with his over excitability, which was presenting as jumping up/excessive biting, lunging at other dogs and on lease pulling. Ryan gave me a range of strategies to manage Luca, which has resulted, not only in a huge improvement in his behaviour, but also gave me much more confidence to manage him. I was beginning to dread walking in busy places, but now it is a pleasure! Ryan takes the time to explain why your dog is displaying certain behaviours and makes sure that you understand the reasoning behind the strategies employed. If anyone is looking for a professional, knowledgeable and caring dog trainer, Ryan is your man. Thank you for everything.

I got in touch with Ryan for help with my highly reactive rescue goldendoodle, Lulu. From the first meeting, Ryan was professional, knowledgeable and an instant calming influence on her. He has such a lovely way about him that Lulu enjoys the sessions whilst also learning new behaviours. She is now a different dog. He gave me more confidence with her in the most encouraging yet constructive manner. He genuinely acts in the dog’s best interest and is always keen to share his skills so that you do not need him anymore, albeit will make time for you should you want further support. I cannot recommend him highly enough. If you are in any doubt, give him a call for advice – he is so approachable and will go out of his way to help whatever the issue. You’ll not regret it!

My pulling on lead hyperactiv collie pup A neibough of mine passed Ryan’s no on to me boy am I so glad she did if it wasn’t for him my dog wouldn’t have the walks she gets now I couldn’t take her far she just pulled me all over the place Ryan had her walking buy his side in an hour of taking her out and because he showed me what to do and how to handle her we have lovely walk now we still got a fair way to go but Ryan is always on the end of phone if I need any advice and will call anytime if you need him what a fantastic person got he dog and your interest mind all the time I cant praise him enough what he has done for me and stella and I highly recommend anyone with all sorts of problem dogs to contact Ryan he will help I’m glad I did

Ryan is great, so knowledgable and helped us massively with our cocker spaniel who had issues with reactivity, listening to commands and lead walking! She loves him too!

Helped tame a crazy Belgian malinois Ryan has helped me so much with my Mali. Just basics with a dog so stimulated have worked wonders. There was a point I thought I wouldn’t be able to keep her as she was so hyper. But Ryan, and his hard work at teaching me to teach her helped wonders. I have and will always recommend Ryan!

Crazy cockers tamed We have two Cocker Spaniels who are full of life. We’d done a lot of basic obedience before meeting Ryan, and while the dogs were great in the house, everything fell apart the moment we stepped outside, where any of that training actually mattered.

Ryan has taught us how to truly work with our dogs in high-distraction environments (which, for our two, is basically anywhere outside the front door!). I’ve never had a bond like I do now with my dogs, and I’ve never enjoyed walking and training as much as I do today.

I used to consider myself fairly knowledgeable about dogs, but what Ryan offers goes far beyond anything I knew. So if you think you don’t need a trainer because you already “know enough” about dogs. Take it from me, you’re wrong. Ryan has genuinely changed our lives for the better.
