Dog training is very frustrating and has a high failure rate. Most of our clients have gone to puppy training classes and dog obedience classes and also seen other dog trainers or even board and train. To solve this, we service the entire lower mainland cities and the GVRD. We offer a specialized service of private 1 on 1 mobile dog training with family’s at their home and their outside environment. This is where most bad behaviors or problems occur anyways. This way the dog isn’t distracted by all the other dogs and people too. Some behaviors can only be triggered in the home environment and cant be triggered outside of the home as well. All of our trainers have gone to a physical collage for dog training and are very good teachers. We work with all dogs and all behavors. Life is busy enough, have us come to you to help.
The Dog Training Industry
Since the Canine and dog training Industry is not regulated or mandated, there are lots of problems, false marketing, and just blatant lies. Sadly, it’s the pets and pet owners that suffer while others profit from it.
Did you know, anyone can say that they’re a dog trainer and start a website for $8/month, say they’re ‘the number one trainer’, have a cute business name, and some cute pictures of them with a dog?
Owning a dog for 10 years and ‘saying you have 10 years experience’, is like owning a car for 10 years and saying you are certified and can train people to be mechanics and race car drivers. How about having a lot of ‘certified’ emblems on their website that anyone can pay $30 to $80 a year to be a member?
Or, saying that they are certified or Government certified-when there is no such classification?! Some dog trainers have never taken any training or stepped foot in a classroom! Where others have taken an online course that’s multiple choice (where you can just Google the answers), and then a person who took the same online course before you in your area, checks your work with a dog, and boom, your ‘certified’ dog trainer.
Of course this doesn’t work, and that’s why we see people that have hired a trainer or gone through puppy or obedience classes, and they haven’t worked. Even worse, trainers who use prong, shock, or choke collars etc. If you need to physically hurt or scare and intimidate the dog to do something, then you are NOT a Dog Trainer or Training the Dog properly and it will fail along with the relationship between owner and their dog that they love so much.
This is what we specialize in! Family homes that are having problems. Have a private mobile dog trainer come to you in your home. We can come in and help make the family balanced and relaxed again and end the frustration and stress. All dogs and all Behavior’s, all cities in the Vancouver lower mainland area. Late appointments and weekend times available.
Dog to dog aggression, dog to human aggression, general dog aggression is very stressful for the animal and the owner. It puts the dog in a fearful, aggressive, panic, stressed, nervous state, and is always on guard and worried. Stop the stress and have a certified dog trainer come to you and have private in-home dog training in safe controlled way.
This is a fantastic service that saves so much time and money! Not to mention the frustration and sadness that comes with potentially having to re-home a dog, because it didn’t work out. There is so many pitfalls and bad actors in this area to look out for when buying your puppy or dog. Have a dog trainer come to your home and teach you what to look for. We can asses and visit the dogs or batch of new puppies.

So impressed with Ryan and the wealth of information he has. I’ve had dogs all my life, but not one like Pepper and I learnt so much new info to build a better relationship with my Pepper. I thought before calling Ryan my issues with my high strung Aussie Doodle were not serious enough for a dog trainer. She’s not aggressive, just reactive and I could deal with it. But Ryan validated my concerns and seemed to know exactly what training Pepper and I (mostly) need to build a better life long connection. Thanks Ryan!! I’ll definitely be calling back for the next leg of learning.

Ryan has been patient and friendly, explaining the psychology behind why helping the dog the way we were trying to may not work. We have had our three year old Texan rescue for about six months now and have used Ryan on and off to support in our home and with my in laws as well, since the first week we got him. We had a very scared rescue prior and wish we knew about Ryan back then. Working through his suggestions, we have seen huge improvements and are grateful.

Ryan was fantastic with helping our puppy deal with his fears. He got our puppy to trust him within 15 minutes of being here. He gave us some great tips that we will be putting to use asap.
We definitely will be using Ryan in the future for any issues with twix.
Thank you so much Ryan!!

I contacted Ryan upon an incident that made it clear I had already waited too long. Just after the first session, the difference in my dogs behaviour walking and around strangers improved dramatically. Since our first meeting, continually applying what Ryan told me, it has become so apparent how trainable my dog actually is despite my previous views due to my own mistakes/misunderstandings. Cannot recommend Ryan enough, I will continue with him even when I feel I’ve hit “ that point “ with my pups just to make sure my upkeep doesn’t slide. Trust Ryan, he is beyond friendly, a true dog lover at heart and more knowledgeable than google ( which is hard to accomplish considering the infinite amount of “ knowledge “ that google holds )

Oh my goodness, blessings to Canine United for helping us with our new 10 week old lab puppy! Ryan was absolutely fantastic and he taught us so much that we didn’t know! So much of what we were reading on the internet was leading us down the wrong path of training, specifically with nipping and biting. We were getting to a breaking point with the biting puppy phase and Ryan gave us the best advice and after only THREE days, our puppy is now so much better. A sincere thank you to Ryan and I’d recommend his services to anybody with a new puppy!

I can't recommend Canine United enough. Extremely professional and knowledgeable, helped nip all our puppies behavioral issues in the bud. Also teaches a lot of tips and tricks for everyday dog life. I always initial had some doubt how easy Ryan made corrections sound, but what he's able to show and teach seems like a miracle.
