Diamonds
in the Ruff classes are all about living
with FAMILY dogs in a family-setting.
We use humane training methods based on positive reinforcement
and a sound understanding of animal behavior and learning theory.
We understand how dogs learn.
We encourage whole family participation - older children who will take part in the dog's training are welcome to attend classes with their parents. Consistency is key. Dogs do best when everyone is using the same cues, has the same expectations and gives consistent feedback. Our lessons include: grooming, pack leadership, safety and good manners with children and visitors. Our primary goal, to help you better understand your canine companion and communicate with him or her effectively. "I
am amazed at the magic of dogs! I feel like I am just becoming dimly
aware of a whole world that I didn't even know existed! They are
so incredible - their social system, their reasoning, their willingness
to work with us people who don't understand them very well and who
think we are trying to teach them! You and Dana and the rest
are great. Thanks for all." -Glenmar F.
