ryan D. loving wilson

Ryan's canine training journey began in 2008, and reflects his profound love for dogs. From training water fowl retrievers to bloodhounds for tracking, he sought the perfect balance between a working companion and a life-long friend. He discovered his true passion in working with mastiff types, especially his Cane Corso mix, Mnandi, in IGP. Progressing through Huffman K9 and graduating from the Master Trainer Academy, Ryan is on a mission to showcase that a well-trained, life enhancing dog is a nuisance to no one. He has certified Mnandi in Bed Bug Detection, trained her to mitigate anxiety and PTSD as a Service Animal in healthcare settings, and honed her tracking skills in diverse environments, demonstrating the multifaceted benefits of a well-trained canine life companion.

In addition to his canine pursuits, Ryan holds a nursing degree and works as a registered nurse in an emergency department. Adding to his diverse background, he has proudly served as a 20-year veteran in the Oregon Army National Guard. His commitment to healthcare and military service reflects a profound sense of duty and dedication that permeates every aspect of his life.
