B'More Dogs Hon of Middle River

B'More Dogs Hon is a dog training business in Middle River, Maryland, serving Baltimore City, Baltimore County and the surrounding areas. The trainers work with dogs of any age, from puppies through seniors, and offer basic obedience, problem-solving sessions, a board and train program, and aggression rehabilitation. Basic obedience runs ten sessions and covers six guaranteed commands with lifetime support, while problem-solving is available in single sessions for issues such as pulling on the leash. The board and train program is a three to four week stay in the trainer's home, and aggression rehabilitation spans ten sessions with a focus on teaching a dog to be neutral. A free consultation and evaluation is offered, and the business also carries premium dog food, training gear and pet supplies.

Ryan Himes has been around dog training his entire life and has 20 years of training experience. He competed with his first dog, Bri, at age 9, earning titles in both AKC and IPO (Schutzhund), and now specializes in aggression, foundation, puppy and advanced obedience. He is AKC Star Puppy Certified and AKC Canine Good Citizen (CGC) Certified. He trains his own dogs, Nyla, Nash and Tarot.

The approach centers on relationship building, balanced methods and positive reinforcement, with the goal of neutrality so owners can take their dogs anywhere without worry about behavior. Training plans are customized to the individual dog and owner, and the emphasis is on clear communication and trust between the two. Clients have described the trainer's skill and insight as changing the dynamics of their relationship with their dog, and one owner noted being left with tools to help their dog obey commands, walk well on a leash and stop going to the bathroom indoors.
