We had a great experience with Darren from Ruff Pup Training Services! We did a 4-class pack with our Doberman, and Darren was incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and easy to work with. He offered both home visits and public outings, which was huge for helping us work on real-life situations. He was also very willing to tailor each session to our specific needs and goals instead of using a one-size-fits-all approach. We saw meaningful progress and felt supported the entire time. Highly recommend!

My husband and I adopted our boxer dog "Rocco" last year. I wanted to express just how great of an experience we had with Rebekah's training sessions; she was so caring and patient with Rocco. Before she started our training, Rocco wasn't a good listener and sometimes too out of control (in a playful way) for us to handle him. I wasn't sure what to do.. After 8 lessons, I couldn't believe my eyes! Rocco was listening to us so much better and its literally night and day on us handling him. Rocco is such a good boy, and this training was the icing on the cake! Thank you so much Rebekah! We appreciate you and your expertise 😉 (Rocco loves you) 😉

If I could give Ruff Pup Services more than five stars, I would! Rebekah has been amazing with our dog, she really understands each dog’s personality and tailors the training to what they need. We’ve seen such a big improvement and I’d recommend Ruff Pup Services to anyone looking for effective, personalized dog training.

Please DO NOT send your dog here! This person has no clue about properly training and working with dogs. She put a shut down GSD on a human trend mill with a prong collar. They make tread mills specifically for dogs as human ones will rip up the paw pads and don’t allow for the dog to fully extend. Prong collars are a tool for heeling and should never be used for things like this. The dog shows many stress signs and is shut down. Many of the dogs in her videos show stress signals and are shutting down! Do not support if you care about the well-being of your dog.

We had the best experience with Becky. She treats all three of our babies (pitbull, Rottweiler, and Malinois/Rottweiler mix) like her own. She is beyond knowledgeable and so patient. I can’t recommend her enough!
