Our History

The process of sourcing high quality dog sport equipment and clothing for dog handlers began in 2013 due to a lack of quality products available within North America.
Ruffdog Sports was established in April 2014 as a North American source for Raddog and other top quality dog training equipment. At Ruffdog we import and export global and innovative high quality handler clothing and equipment for dogs in North America. We supply professional dog training products to active outdoor dog enthusiasts, military, police, professional dog trainers and handlers  training their dog  to compete in dog sports such as Agility, IPO/Schutzhund/ Rally/ Scent & Nose Work, and more.... 
RDS is continuously growing our brands to bring you the best products for training dogs
