FirstBarkWe received exactly what we needed to make our new puppy a respectful member of our family. Ruth educated us on why we wanted to correct certain behaviors and how to do it. She was supportive and flexible around our crazy schedule. Would highly recommend to anyone who needs support for their furry friends.

Our early puppy classes are a fun and educational time for you and your puppy. Our class topics include thorough and varied socialization*, learning your rules, learning their place in the pack hierarchy of this new mixed species pack, successful housebreaking, learning bite inhibition and learning how to walk on a leash and go into a crate on command are the priority objectives. Laying this foundation properly has a major impact on the life and behavior of a dog as they get older.

Ruth was a wonderful and patient teacher for our rescue greyhound. She was very thorough with us in making sure we had the tools and training we needed to work on things at home. She even taught our boy to sit, which he would never do on command before!
Ruth is very well educated and trained She is caring and she would go to the extra mile to help you solve any issues with your dog. Her facility is clean and has all the tools she needs to help train your pup. She is affordable and flexible also. We will be back!!

We had a great experience with Ruth at Whole Dog in Lebanon. We came to her with our 1 yr old Goldendoodle who was having aggression issues. She really listened to us, and was very thorough in diagnosing the issue and put together a plan that was designed specifically for us. She was patient and persistent with us and has completely changed his behavior and we have seen massive improvement. We highly recommend Whole Dog!!
