Meet the trainer
Hi! My name is Ryan and I am the owner and trainer of RMA Canine. My love for animals started on my family farm. I grew up living and working with many different types of animals from cows and horses to dogs and parrots. As a kid my family and I adopted a Calico Macaw name Dolly. I spent weeks in the parrot rescue studying how birds think and learn. This sparked my passion for education and training. These experiences led me to earning a Bachelor’s degree in Canine Training and Management at SUNY Cobleskill.
Deep Roots in Animal Care
