Ryan’s first TEDx Talk, Overcoming PTSD Using Dog Training Techniques, was met with incredible reviews. His dog, Zeus, a Belgain Malinois, actually wowed the crowd being the first dog to perform learned behaviors on a TEDx stage.

In his talk he highlights valuable life lessons dogs teach us on a daily basis. Best of all, Ryan’s dog, Zeus accompanied him for both of his TEDx Talks.
