Behavior Lessons That Build Connection, Not Just Commands

At Ry The Pet Guy, behavior work isn’t about control. It’s about communication.

We use a psychology-based approach that supports both the dog and the human. Because real transformation happens when you both understand each other. This isn’t quick-fix training. It’s mindful work, built on calm leadership, emotional awareness, and mutual trust.

Our Approach

Dogs don’t just hear what you say. They feel how you show up. If you’re anxious, angry, or unclear, they respond in kind. That’s why we teach you how to become three essential things for your dog:

  1. A Tour Guide – leading with calm confidence through the human world

  2. A Bodyguard – offering safety and structure without fear or force

  3. A Translator – helping your dog make sense of what you’re asking with patience and clarity

Through clear, gentle guidance and consistent communication, we help you build a relationship that works in real life.

Who It’s For

  • Dogs with behavior challenges like reactivity or overstimulation

  • Puppies or rescues building foundational social skills

  • Pet parents who want to deepen trust and reduce confusion

  • Anyone ready to learn with their dog, not just teach them

Ready to Understand Your Dog on a Deeper Level?

Behavior challenges aren’t just about fixing a problem. They’re an invitation to connect more fully with patience, presence, and skill. Our lessons help you become the calm, clear leader your dog has been waiting for.
