Ruff House and Crystal in particular were wonderful to work with. We just finished Puppy 2 and my dog was not cooperating AT ALL. Even though he was difficult and at times disruptive, Crystal did the best she could to work with me and made the experience less stressful than it could have been in a group setting. She had a lot of good advices and tips that she gave us outside of the regular training to help us all with our puppy problems.

Crystal and the staff at Ruff House are top notch! Knowing we were in for a large breed that needed to be trained we turned to her. She has really well thought out puppy classes that helped our Weim learn how to behave. If you’re looking for an all encompassing trainer, you’ve found it. Thanks Ruff House!

When we brought our new puppy home our older dog hated her. He could not even be in the same room as her as he tried to attack her. I was not sure it was possible but they are now great friends and love to play. Crystal is a miracle worker.

We love Ruff House Dog Training! We adopted a 2.5-year-old dog who was so reactive and wild that the last words the foster parents said to us as we were going out the door with her were “By the way, you can’t walk her.” We started with private lessons with Ruff House (Ariel was the trainer) because our little girl couldn’t even be in a classroom with other dogs. Then we moved onto Basic Obedience 1, the Park Class, Basic Obedience 2, Fungility, and Novice Agility. Now we’re getting ready to do the AKC CGC test and get her started as a certified therapy dog. With the training and guidance we got from Ruff House (from both Crystal and Ariel), the wild animal we adopted is now a joy to be with and well on her way to becoming a helpful therapy dog! This journey has been so sweet and gratifying because, with Ruff House, we had the best possible help along the way!
