FirstBarkMy new puppy, Henry, just spent a few weeks with Crystal to overcome some fears and to just get more comfortable being a dog. Crystal has provided structure for Henry as well as giving us solid guidance on how to be consistent and build on Henry's training. We feel like we now have the tools to help Henry continue to develop into the great dog we know he is!

Our young labrador mix, MoJo, has always been a sweetie but somewhat...er... rambunctious. With Ruff House Training we learned how to redirect her energy and keep her engaged with us. She is so much easier to walk and people comment all the time on how well behaved she is for a puppy (7 months), let alone a lab puppy. Crystal gives great instruction and the class had a lot of content. We tried another obedience class previously with a different instructor and did not get half as much out of it as we did with Ruff House. We couldn't be happier.
I really appreciate and thank Crystal Blaker for the excellent job in coaching my overly social puppy. Crystal is kind, patient and highly skilled to be a dog trainer. Simply said she is amazing. Even though my puppy wanted to play with the other puppies, my puppy learned the basic commands that Crystal offers in her basic puppy class. Thank you Crystal!

We just completed the Puppy Class with our six month old Golden Retriever (Gracie). This was the seventh dog we've owned in the last 40 years and have trained all of them, but this was the first time with Crystal at Ruff House. What a difference!!!! Crystal not only explains the "what" you need to do, but also the "why." Tips, tricks, techniques and a few stories drive the points home. This approach was very helpful for my wife and I to drive the consistency necessary. She trained us...and quite frankly, that seems to be one of the biggest challenges to training a dog. We will keep going with other classes with Ruff House since we were so pleased with Crystal's methods and our rersults. Thank you Ruff House!
Crystal is great and she has a great agility field!
