Does Your Dog Struggle With...
• Pulling on the leash during walks
• Jumping on guests
• Ignoring commands
• Barking excessively
• Anxiety or reactivity around people or dogs
• Destructive behavior at home
• Difficulty settling and relaxing
These are some of the most common frustrations dog owners face.
The good news is that these behaviors are not personality flaws — they are simply skills that haven't been taught yet.
With the right structure, guidance, and training system, dogs can learn how to live calmly and confidently in the human world.
Our Training Philosophy
At Ruff Pup, our trainers are committed to helping dogs and their owners succeed together. We believe effective training combines clear communication, structure, consistency, and positive experiences that allow dogs to build confidence and reliability in everyday life.
Our team works collaboratively to ensure each dog receives consistent training methods, individualized attention, and ongoing support, helping owners maintain their dog’s progress long after the program is complete.
At Ruff Pup, we believe successful training goes beyond teaching obedience commands.
We focus on helping dogs learn:
• how to relax
• how to make good decisions
• how to navigate the real-world
• how to build trust and communication with their owners
Training is not just about control.
It’s about creating a balanced and fulfilling life for both dog and owner.
OUR TRAINING PROGRAMS

BOARD & TRAIN
Your dog stays with us and receives immersive daily training from our trainers.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does dog training take?
Training is a life time commitment, which is why we include free follow up training and group classes for life with every program.
What age should my dog start training?
We take puppies from 12 weeks old but honestly, it's never too late to get started. We'll always meet your dog where they are at and build from what they already know.
Do you work with aggressive dogs?
Yes! But we are limited on the types of programs that we offer. Due to mall restrictions we can only work with aggressive dogs through our lifetime private training program
Will my dog behave the same at home as in training?
Yes! As long as you are committed to following the steps that we give you, providing a level of structure, routine, and boundaries your dog will behave as well for you as they do for us.
Do you offer follow-up support?
Yes! All of our training programs include in person follow up and group classes for life. It's my belief that if you are going to invest in your dog that it should be a one and done transaction.
When you choose to invest in your dog through us, we choose to invest in you!
