About Us

At A1-K9 Dog Training, we focus on results.

Not trends. Not guesswork.

We help dog owners in St. Louis fix problem behaviors, build real obedience, and enjoy their dogs again.

Pulling on walks, jumping, barking, ignoring commands — these issues are common, and they are fixable.

Our training is simple, structured, and effective.

We teach dogs how to behave in the real world and show owners how to maintain those results long-term.

No complicated routines. No unrealistic expectations.

We stand behind our work. If you follow the program and don’t see improvement, you get your money back.

That’s how confident we are in our training.

If you’re ready for a calmer, more obedient dog, we’re ready to help.

Ryan McGrath

My name is Ryan McGrath, I am 28 years old, born and raised in St. Louis, Missouri, and dogs have been a central part of my life for as long as I can remember. I started working hands-on with dogs at just 13, turning an early love for animals into a lifelong passion for understanding canine behavior, obedience, and communication.

In 2021, I graduated at the top of my class from the prestigious Tom Rose School, earning Professional and Master Dog Trainer certifications. My achievements there led to selection for the competitive Rose Scholar Program, where I helped instruct future master trainers while continuing to sharpen my own skills.

Afterward, I launched my own dog training company serving St. Louis City and County and surrounding areas, specializing in working with highly reactive, aggressive, fearful, and traumatized dogs. I developed a system that helps owners see progress quickly while building lifelong results.

My goal is simple: to transfer my knowledge to you. I have developed a system of training instructions that are guaranteed to solve your problems reliably and safely.
