how we can help

Our goal is to create a training experience that prioritizes your dog's well-being and sets them up for long-term behavioral success. Together, let's embark on a journey of enrichment, trust, and mutual understanding.


More than just training your dog, we empower you with the skills and knowledge to foster lasting behavior change. By rewarding desired behaviors and gradually shaping your dog's success, we'll get them "On Your Mark" for a lifetime of good manners and happy, healthy interactions.

Whether you're addressing challenges like leash pulling, impulse control, or reactivity, we tailor our methods to your dog's individual temperament and learning style. This ensures the training process is not only effective, but also positive and manageable for your furry friend.

At On Your Mark K9, our mission is to enhance the well-being and behavior of your canine companion through personalized, compassionate training. Our balanced, reward-based approach prioritizes your dog's needs, helping them understand boundaries while strengthening the bond you share.

On Your Mark For Rewarding Progress

At On Your Mark K9, we offer a fully personalized training experience for you and your dog.

Whether you're addressing leash pulling, impulse control, reactivity, or basic obedience, we tailor our methods to suit your dog’s individual needs—making training both effective and manageable. More than just training your dog, we equip you with the skills to create lasting behavior change. Mark the behavior, reward the learning, shape the success—let’s get your dog On Your Mark for better behavior!

Mark the behavior, reward the learning, shape the success.

More about me

If you’re ready to stop the frustration and start seeing real results with a well-behaved dog, I’m here to help. Together, we’ll create a lasting bond built on trust, respect, consistency and clear communication

Our training is not just about teaching your dog to obey; it’s about giving you the skills and confidence to lead them effectively. We don’t just train your dog, we train you how to continue to lead them long after we are out of the picture. As long as you follow our clear instructions, put in the work, and maintain the training that we teach you, you will have a trained and confident dog for many years to come.

I’m Ryan, and at On Your Mark K9, my goal is to help you and your dog build the best possible relationship through clear, consistent, and effective training. My approach isn’t one-size-fits-all—every dog is unique, and that’s why I tailor my training to fit your dog’s personality and your goals.

As a former reactive dog owner myself, I know how frustrating it can be when you feel like you're not getting through to your dog. Something as simple as taking them for a walk shouldn't feel stressful or like a chore, and with a reactive dog or a dog that doesn’t know how to walk properly on the leash, I know just how much it can. That’s where I come in.

Struggling with your dog’s behavior? I get it.
