Let’s help your dog thrive - inside and out.

Hi, I'm Ryan - and my journey into dog training started with a dog who challenged everything I thought I knew.

When my partner and I brought home Obie, our German Shepherd, I was just looking for a companion to join us on walks and adventures. What I didn’t expect was how much he’d teach me - about behaviour, responsibility, and what it really takes to understand and support a dog’s needs. From navigating reactivity to learning what builds a strong relationship, every step with him taught me lessons I now share with others.

​

At Constellation Dog Training, we focus on fun, fulfilling training that works with your dog’s instincts, not against them. Whether you're dealing with reactive behaviours, building confidence, or just wanting a more enjoyable life together, we use relationship-focused, breed-tailored strategies to create real partnership between dogs and their humans.

"Ryan has a rare gift for understanding each dog's unique temperament & needs"

 

I can't say enough good things about Ryan at Constellation Dog Training! Ryan has been an absolute game-changer for Nova. From the very first session, it's clear that Ryan is not only incredibly knowledgeable but also deeply passionate about helping dogs thrive.​ We’ve been working with Ryan on Nova's prey drive and recall, and the progress has been nothing short of amazing. Nova is a high-energy dog with a strong prey drive, and Ryan’s approach has been patient, structured, and incredibly effective. He’s helped Nova build focus, self-control, and confidence, and her recall is improving every day! We also do a variety of other activities with Ryan, including mantrailing, barn hunt, neutral and social walks. These sessions are a highlight for Nova and me! Ryan tailors each activity to Nova’s individual needs and helps her engage in a way that’s both fun and mentally enriching. Watching Nova gain confidence and skills in these activities has been a joy. Ryan has a rare gift for understanding each dog’s unique temperament and needs, and he creates a positive and supportive learning environment. I’ve seen incredible growth in Nova, not just in her behaviour but in her overall well-being. If you’re looking for a trainer who truly cares about your dog’s success, I can’t recommend Ryan and Constellation Dog Training enough!
