About Ruff Day Pet Resort

Ruff Day Pet Resort in Webster is a boarding and daycare resort that began as a training business, and its own site tells that story directly: it was started as a dog training business by Amy Holtz in 2008, and as the training business grew she needed to expand into an independent space.

The training program

Training remained a full department rather than an add-on. The site publishes a complete class ladder as separate pages: Puppy Pre K, Canine Academy Camp, a Beginner Class, an Advanced Beginner Class, Intermediate Training and Star Puppy. Alongside those sits Canine Good Citizen and RocDog therapy dog testing, which places evaluation for both the AKC citizenship test and the local therapy dog group on the same premises.

Who runs the training

The site says the resort is owned and operated by a certified dog trainer who oversees a team of training professionals. The range it advertises spans obedience training, puppy training, manners improvement, canine sports and therapy dog training, and it says a variety of training options exist so families can pick what suits them.

The rest of the resort

Boarding, daycare and a dog spa fill out the site. Daycare is pitched at busy owners, with the promise that dogs come home tired. The site describes the operation as veterinarian-recommended and award-winning, and it has been running care for over ten years. New clients are offered a free first night of boarding or day of play.
