REVIEWS OF FRANCIS RYU:

“After 4 weeks of sessions, I can confidently say, I don’t know what my life or my puppy’s life would be like, without his experience, love, and knowledge. We learned what a good foundation looks like for basic commands of sit, down, stay, paw, leave it, drop it, speak, and most beneficial – quiet/settle! This is essential for living in an apartment and sleeping! So far, Francis’s training sessions have helped Baulder learn several task-application protocols for my PTSD, Depression, and anxiety symptomology. We have been able to teach deep pressure therapy (therapy), blocking tasks (space), spatial awareness tasks (touch/weave), and physical touch to stop harmful behaviors. I look forward to continuing to work with Francis Ryu.”

“I can personally vouch for this trainer’s integrity. I have used him for one month, and my dog is obedient and has much less reactivity since learning how to walk dogs with expert instruction. Five stars for Francis Ryu! Best trainer and now dear friend– thank you, Francis.”
