Meet Ryan, Master Dog Trainer & Behavioral Therapist for Greater Colorado Springs!
In-Home Dog Training in Colorado Springs, Falcon, Monument, Fountain & Woodland Park!
My name is Ryan Brown, your local trainer serving the greater Colorado Springs area. I'm a fourth-generation Colorado native with a genuine passion for helping dog owners understand why dogs behave the way they do and what to actually do about it. Over the past 20 years, I've worked with nearly 11,000 dogs (and their owners) across this city and the surrounding communities.
Before I became a Bark Busters trainer, I was a client.
My wife Erin and I had an Anatolian Shepherd mix named Jesse, a nuisance barker with a growing list of behavior issues. We'd received multiple complaints from our local Humane Society. It was embarrassing and exhausting. After Bark Busters training, the barking stopped. More importantly, our relationship with Jesse changed—the house felt calmer, and life with her was genuinely enjoyable again.
That experience is why I do this. As someone offering dog training Colorado Springs residents rely on, my job is to teach you how to communicate in a way your dog actually understands. Most people overcomplicate it because we're far more complex than our dogs are. Simplify the communication, and they pick it up fast.
That's also why most clients with Colorado Springs dog training through Bark Busters see noticeable improvement in the very first visit.
Training with me isn't just about fixing behavior in the moment, it's about giving you the tools to handle things yourself long after our sessions end. I work with dogs of all ages and breeds, from basic manners and puppy training to serious aggression and separation anxiety.

Dog Training FAQs Answered in Colorado Springs
Many families report dramatic changes in barking, jumping, leash pulling, or ignoring commands by the end of that first visit.
Your initial private dog training session in Colorado Springs takes place in your home. Ryan will start by asking detailed questions about your dog's behavior and your goals.
From there, he'll walk you and your family through the Bark Busters method with explanation, demonstration, and hands-on practice with your dog. You'll learn simple exercises and communication techniques you can use every day to reinforce good behavior. With consistent practice, you'll see faster, more reliable, and long-lasting results.
Yes. But it all starts at home. Bark Busters dog obedience training in Colorado Springs starts in your home, where most behavior problems begin and where your dog is most comfortable. That’s where Ryan teaches you how to “speak dog” and get reliable control before you ever head out the door.
Once you and your dog have a solid foundation, Ryan will coach you on how to apply the same techniques on your walks and Colorado Springs adventures, whether that’s around your neighborhood, on local trails, or before visiting popular spots like Garden of the Gods or Bear Creek Dog Park. The goal is a dog you can confidently take anywhere in the Pikes Peak region.
With Bark Busters in-home dog training in Colorado Springs, the trainer comes to you so your dog can learn and practice in the same environment where problems actually occur: in your home, yard, and daily routines.
In a board-and-train program, your dog is trained in a kennel or facility by someone else, then returned home to a completely different environment with different expectations and handlers. Because of that, many dogs struggle to consistently apply what they learned once they’re back in their everyday life.
You also miss out on learning how to communicate with your dog yourself. Ryan's approach focuses on coaching you and your whole family to understand and communicate with your dog in your home. That means the training isn’t just about temporary obedience, it’s about creating lasting change in the environment where your dog actually lives.
Yes. Ryan provides dog training in Colorado Springs for military families throughout the area, including those near Fort Carson, the U.S. Air Force Academy, and Peterson Space Force Base.
Big transitions, PCS moves, new housing, and schedule changes can trigger anxiety and behavior setbacks in dogs. In-home training is ideal for addressing those issues right where they show up: in your new home, with your family.
Another advantage of working with Bark Busters is the Life of Dog Support Guarantee. Even if you relocate, your Bark Busters support continues. If another Bark Busters trainer serves your new area, they can pick up your in-home training at no additional training fee. If no local trainer is available, you'll continue to receive expert support remotely.
Yes. With Bark Busters' Gold Service, you receive ongoing dog training support in Colorado Springs for the entire life of your dog at no additional training fee. As long as you're following the training program, Ryan will continue working with you through additional in-home visits, phone support, or video check-ins to handle new or recurring behavior issues as they come up. No surprise costs.
If your family moves to another city, your guarantee moves with your dog. A local trainer in your new area can seamlessly continue your program in person when available, or remotely if there are no trainers that service that area.
