I would think twice about getting your dog trained here, the training is keeping your dog in a cage for 20 hours a day and only out to eat and some training time. Ruff Sport trained our dog to pee all over our house when we got him back but never did that before we brought our dog to Heather. I think Heather has some personal issues as she continued to lie to us when we wanted to pick up our dog . This training was a waste of a lot of money

I just went to visit my dog Franklin at RuffSport where he is in the Board & Train program - and I am so impressed with the difference in him since he has been there and the dedication and professionalism of the owners, Heather and Russ. Franklin is a rescue dog and at 4 years of age had some pretty significant issues around leash pulling, leash reactivity and generally being a very anxious dog. After an obedience class (which he didn't need he knew all the basic commands but the owner said start with obedience) and four trainers in six months I was no further ahead. And likely putting Franklin further behind. It wasn't because I wasn't prepared to put in the work - it was more because Franklin needed intensive work, more than an hour once a week. Two of the trainers suggested negative reinforcement - one even kicked him and put a slip knot on him to choke him into walking beside him. Ruffsport was suggested by someone and although it was difficult to send my dog away - I knew he needed more intensive daily work with a professional to get him to a place where he could be retrained in undoing the previous behaviours from his past life and taught to make better choices. I can then be taught how to manage him. I have found both Heather and Russ to be responsive to all my questions and they care. They have gone above and beyond what I expected. I am confident Franklin will come back a more confident dog and I will be a more confident owner. I spent the day with them and got to see other dogs in various stages of training and even met two other clients - I am so pleased with the progress he has made and know he will be even more amazing when he comes home. We both needed to learn new skills and Ruffsport is providing that. I highly recommend them - their passion and professionalism for their work shows in the results. Yvonne
Heather and Russ are absolutely wonderful. We have a service dog and needed help from a new trainer to continue his progress. We also wanted positive reinforcement training for our service dog. They responded immediately to our request for help. And when my husband became ill, they took on our dog for board and train and we were very impressed with the results when we were able to reunite them. They are knowledgeable about the legislation around service animals and are wonderful handlers and trainers. We continue to train weekly with them.
Good knowledge of dogs. Awesome people. Dogs have fun.
I've been training with Heather of Ruffsport for almost 6yrs. There is no one I would trust more with my dogs and that is not said lightly. Heather's knowledge and positive reinforcement methodology when it comes to training is at the highest level. Her care and concern for all those in her charge is immeasurable.
