At Rufdogs we choose to focus on teaching clients how to use a rewards based approach to teaching skills and modifying behaviour with their dogs.

Our aim is to provide effective training methods and supportive coaching to families and their dogs using positive reinforcement as the primary method of learning.

Our goal is to coach clients on how to create and maintain a healthy relationship with their canine companions while making the experience of learning fun for all participants.

Our promise is to advocate for a training approach that is kind and empathetic to the dogs we share our lives with.

The Dog Training industry in North America is currently unregulated.  This means that methods vary and dog owners must carefully consider the knowledge and skills of the dog training professional they seek to work with. We urge prospective clients to consider the guidance provided by the American Veterinary Society of Animal Behaviourist (AVSAB) when choosing a Dog Trainer to work with.
