Before coming to Iowa, Ryan Dey worked with over 1,000 dogs and clients as a part of the Sit Means Sit Orlando team in Florida. As the head trainer there, he worked with all ages, breeds, and temperaments. His ability to connect with clients and dogs alike is what led him to Des Moines to provide Iowa with the same abilities to enjoy their dogs to the fullest. Ryan’s education is founded on his time with Fred Hassen, founder of Sit Means Sit, and Matt Smith, owner of Sit Means Sit Orlando.

Fred and Matt have provided Ryan with countless hours to master the ability to communicate with dogs on an unbelievable level. Learning that every dog can be more happy, confident, and obedient for any owner has transformed the human to dog relationship. Ryan has a degree in Economics from the University of Central Florida which he utilized to begin a post-graduate career in banking before finding his true passion and career path of dog training.
