Pet Dog Training Lessons

Is your dog reactive towards other dogs and humans? Showing fear or leash aggression?
Thought you could obedience train your furry family member yourself but don't have enough knowledge or time?
Learn how to train your dog to be highly obedient by a World Championship Obedience Master Trainer and Competitor
Balanced Dog Obedience Training
Christine believes that every dog owner should learn how to train their own dog. Owning a dog is a lifelong journey and commitment to train and live with the animal.
We offer private one-on-one lessons coaching you how to train your own dog. See below for more information
Training a dog requires a lifetime commitment and cannot be fully completed in a 2 week or 4 week program. However during a B & T Christine can instill a very clear foundation obedience thereby ensuring your training at home is easier for the dog to understand and continue
Each dog has their own unique learning style and behaviours. It is imperative that each dog owner learn how to read their dogs body language and learn how to train their dog accordingly
We practice many different training styles at Ruffdog to include: positive reinforcement methods, clicker training, balanced training methods for more difficult to train dominant breeds and advanced off leash electronic collar training
We will work with you to choose the training style that is most appropriate and effective for the dog in front of you
Group lessons for puppies are not offered at Ruffdog because Christine believes foundation training should be taught to a young dog without distractions. Once your dog understands clearly what is being asked of it through clear commands and body language in the foundation training it is then fair to add distractions and ask the dog for duration/stay under distraction.

Board Stay and Train
Training a dog requires a lifetime commitment and cannot be fully completed in a 2 week or 4 week program however during a Board Stay & Train Christine and her team can train a very clear foundation obedience into your dog. This foundation training that we train into your dog will need to be repeated by you the dog's owner for maximum success!!
Every Board & Train client will need to commit to one-on-one lessons with Christine after their dog has completed their 'B & T' This requisite is to ensure that you will understand the methods used to train your dog and how to continue training your dog at home.
During a B & T program Christine will train your dog to wait at doors, calm down in the house, lay on a mat, be quiet in the crate, understand house and life rules, heel, sit, stay, lay down on command and under distractions.
2 Week Board and Train: foundation obedience trained on leash, leash manners, house and life manners
