The business focuses on positive training techniques and provides personalized care to address various behavior concerns.

Ruff Life covers multiple training areas, such as basic obedience, leash walking, aggression management, separation anxiety, and therapy dog preparation. Customers appreciate the attentive staff and the engaging environment, noting that their dogs thrive in socialization sessions and build confidence while making friends. The training sessions not only help reduce anxiety and reactivity but also boost the confidence of both pets and their owners. With a dedicated team that is professional, courteous, and knowledgeable, Ruff Life Dog Training Services comes highly recommended by satisfied clients who have experienced significant positive changes in their dogs. Tessa's laid-back teaching style and small class sizes create a welcoming atmosphere where owners don't feel judged. Clients have praised the training program for helping them better understand their dog's mind and providing the tools to improve their relationship. Ruff Life's services have also been instrumental in helping dogs, like corgis and a reactive shepherd mix, overcome challenges and find new companions.
