Testimonials
“I needed training for my dogs & am so thankful I found the K-9 Enrichment Center! Ryan & Crystle are amazing at what they do — they are very knowledgeable, kind and patient. I love that they focus on positive reinforcement techniques. I’ve had my puppy in day trainings & a lesson on the weekends since February & it has made a huge difference! My older dog has also been coming to trainings to work on his separation anxiety & to learn how to properly socialize with other dogs. This center has been a godsend – exactly what my dogs needed! Ryan & Crystle go above & beyond — they care for your dogs like they were their own. My dogs are happier, calmer, less anxious & more obedient now. Any time I have an issue that I’m trying to fix (crate training, separation anxiety, car rides, obedience, etc) they offer plenty of helpful suggestions & techniques. I am so grateful to have found K-9 Enrichment Center! Thank you Ryan & Crystle for your amazing work!”

“Our trainer, Ryan is like no other. He truly understands K9s and knows his craft better than I’ve ever seen..even better than those celebrity trainers on TV. He assesses the dogs behavior, sees the environment and is able to use proactive approaches in his training sessions. He uses positive reinforcement methods. No shock collars, no negative discipline approaches, no fear to gain control. He is truly a dog whisperer and a great human trainer so we can be the best pet owners possible. In our first 3 sessions, our 8 month old puppy has improved by 80% and only gaining more skills at home daily bc of the great training methods taught.”

“Ryan and team have done wonders for our Great Dane! Not only has Ryan spent a lot of time with our Dane, he’s spent a lot of time teaching my fiancé and I how to manage and work with him when he’s not having the time of his life at K9 Enrichment Center! Ryan always goes above and beyond for the dogs, he really puts his heart into his work and the animals under his care. Ryan, we can’t thank you enough for all that you’ve done for us. I have 4 doggy day care centers between my house and K9 Enrichment Center and I don’t hesitate to drive past them and go the extra mile, because Ryan and team goes the extra mile for all of the dogs they take care of. You can recognize the love he has for dogs in him as soon as you meet him. In fact I’ve referred other friends that make the extra drive to keep their dog under Ryan’s care. For anyone in the area wondering where to take their dog for training or day care, this is your spot! Hands down the best trainer I’ve ever worked with.”

About the Trainer
K9 Enrichment Center is dedicated to fostering strong bonds between dogs and their owners through effective communication, positive reinforcement, and personalized training. Their mission is to create a harmonious partnership, enabling every dog and owner duo to reach their full potential, enhancing lives through comprehensive training programs and dedicated support.
They are not typical dog trainers who charge by the hour or lesson; most of their programs are commitment-based, meaning they work with clients until all goals are met, regardless of the training duration. They pride themselves on consistently succeeding where other trainers have failed and are referred by veterinarians for their results.
K9EC develops custom training programs tailored to each individual dog, owner, and situation, allowing for adjustments as learning progresses. They emphasize training both dogs and their owners, considering themselves “people trainers” as well.
In addition to training, K9 Enrichment Center offers pet boarding and doggy daycare services. They also operate a pet supply store, selling trainer-approved products such as beds, bowls, clothing, collars, harnesses, leashes, toys, treats, and supplements.
