Dr. Kiwi’s Elite Retreat

Hi, I’m Rylee, a canine behaviorist and experienced trainer based in Tucson! Alongside my own service dog&demo dog, Kiwi, I specialize in customized training programs that fit each dog’s unique needs, whether it’s basic obedience, leash manners, reactivity, aggression, simple socialization or advanced training. My approach is built on my motto: “No Bad Dogs.” There are only misunderstood ones, and every dog has the potential to succeed with the right guidance, and I tailor every program to set both dogs and their owners up for long-term success. I grew up on a farm in Michigan, where I spent seven years raising and showing livestock, and my passion for animals only grew from there. I moved to Tucson in 2021 to attend the University of Arizona, where I’m currently a senior pre-med student on track to pursue a dual MD/PhD. Alongside my academic career, I’ve dedicated myself to dog training and behavior modification, with a special focus on working canines and rehabilitating behavioral cases. What I Offer: ✅ Board & Train Programs – Structured immersion training at my home ✅ In-Home Private Training – Hands-on coaching in your home ✅ Day School – Drop-off training for structured learning/socialization without overnight stays ✅ Behavior Modification – Specialized training for reactivity, anxiety, and aggression cases Every potential client starts with an initial consultation where we assess your dog’s behavior, discuss your goals, and build a personalized training plan. I believe in real-world training that makes sense for both dogs and their owners, ensuring you have the tools to succeed beyond just the training sessions. If you’re ready to help your dog become their best self, I’d love to chat! Message me to set up a consultation and let’s create a training plan that works for you.
