....and more!
Whether you have a new puppy, a rescue, or a dog you’ve tried everything with, we can help! Our training teaches your dog to signal when they need to go and understand where and when it’s appropriate. We focus on preventing accidents before they happen, while giving you the knowledge to read your dog’s cues and communicate effectively. With our guidance, housebreaking becomes a stress-free, successful experience for both you and your dog.
Is your dog struggling with reactivity, aggression, anxiety, or fear? Our experienced trainer works closely with both you and your dog to identify the root cause of these behaviors and address these concerns with patience, expertise, and compassion. By moving at your dog’s pace and using positive, reward-based methods, we focus on building confidence, reducing stress, and creating a safer, happier environment for both you and your dog.
Training sessions can take place in public settings like parks, cafes, and busy streets, allowing your dog to experience real-world distractions while learning essential social skills and obedience commands. These sessions help your dog build confidence and practice good manners in a variety of real-world situations.

Our Canine Good Citizen (CGC) program prepares your dog to meet the 10 key AKC test requirements, focusing on leash manners, greeting strangers, reliable recall, and composure in distractions. It builds obedience, confidence, and social skills for home and public life. Whether seeking CGC certification or a well-mannered companion, this training creates a calm, respectful, and trustworthy dog.
Service dog training is a specialized program for individuals with specific physical or mental health needs. We offer this service only to clients who meet certain criteria, including a documented need for a service dog and a commitment to ongoing training. This ensures that the dog can perform necessary tasks safely and effectively, creating a successful partnership between the dog and handler.
Our in-home dog training evaluation provides a comprehensive analysis of your dog's personality, living conditions, and unique needs. The trainer will thoroughly observe their behavior, evaluate the environment, and collaborate with you to understand your training goals. You and the trainer will then create a tailored plan to address challenges and achieve your desired results. (Evaluation is 30-45 minutes)
Depending on your preference and your dog’s needs, sessions can take place in your home, around your neighborhood, or at a local public location. Training sessions are 1 hour long. Typically, training sessions are scheduled once a week, but the frequency is flexible and can be adjusted based on your goals and availability. Ultimately, you decide what schedule works best for you and your dog.

Our relationship with you doesn’t end when the lessons do — it lasts a lifetime. We proudly offer a Lifetime Support Guarantee, giving you lasting peace of mind that expert help and guidance is always available whenever you need it!
If questions arise or new challenges appear as your dog grows and learns, we’re only a call, text, or email away. Our goal is to provide lasting peace of mind and continued success — because once you train with us, you’re part of the Ruff To Regal family for life.
