Live this! This training is a game changer. Both our dogs (and us) are so well trained now! We thought we had an angel until our other little devil got trained, then we had to get our Saphie up to speed as well.

About Ruff Rules
Training is simple, but it’s not easy, and that’s why our mission is to give guidance to owners everywhere using a results driven and balanced approach since 2013. Everything we do begins with foundation training! While introducing your dog to new commands we know the importance of using primarily positive reinforcement to make sure we are creating confidence, focus, motivation and clear communication. Once you have established your new relationship, we use training collars (e-collars) to test our training in any environment. We find value in applying mental and physical exercise to this process to make sure your dog maintains a relaxed state of mind around distractions. We are about working smarter, not harder!

Eva trained my doodle, Honey, first when she was only about four months old then just now at two years old and I have to say that her training is amazing! She’s very professional, sends videos every day as she makes progress, and is so loving with the dogs! I had some scheduling conflicts and she did her best to work with me on that as well. My Honey 🐾 is well behaved and confident! Definitely worth the investment! Thank you Eva & Ruff Rules!

Sydney has been so helpful with training our dog Charlie. When I was timid she helped calm me by giving us a structured plan and training routine to follow. With time and work, Charlie’s structured environment created a better behaved dog and happy and calmer me, lol. We continue to reinforce what we’ve learned and know Charlie will grow with more confidence and discipline. Thank you for everything!!

If I could give 100 stars I would, our life and our dog has changed for the better because of this incredible company. We sent our rescue dog to Keely in hopes she could help him. He is about 10 months old and was scared to even walk out our door. We had tried two other trainings before we found Ruff Rules and none of them worked. Keely was very realistic about what to expect and we dropped him off for the 3 week board and train. Keely communicated with us and sent us updates on his progress. In a week I could already see significant changes. What I was nervous about was could he keep up with this at home? The answer.. YES!!! The dog we got back at the end of three weeks is incredible. He is no longer the fearful dog he once was and he easily goes outside and on adventures with us. Everyone comes up to us saying what a well behaved dog we have and we are finally getting to enjoy our family member. Keely gave us the skills to continue the training at home and support our dog to be the best version of himself. This was the best money I ever spent and I would do it again in a heartbeat in fact I wish I did it earlier. Do not hesitate to give this gift to you and your dog, you will be so happy you did. Thank you Keely for everything you have done for us. We love you!!!!!

I could not speak more highly of Keely and her team. We had our dog trained by Ruff Rules over three years ago and use them consistently for boarding over the last few years. We have enjoyed being able to take our dog out in public and wherever we go because she has the habits in place to act accordingly. Also, knowing that our dog is in good hands when we are traveling gives us so much comfort. The Ruff Rules team has been overly understanding when we needed extra boarding for a family emergency and stepped up when we needed boarding for our wedding. We recommend them to anyone who wants the best for their dog.
