They did a awesome job with our dogs when our usual boarder was on vacation.

There is no way around this. DO NOT TRUST THIS FACILITY. We boarded our dog here because our usual boarder was on vacation. THEY LOST OUR DOG. They claimed he unlocked two locked doors and escaped. Did they call us to tell us? NO! They hid it from us and we had to find out from a vet clinic where he was dropped off after being found on highway 36. They lost our dog and never called us. Once we called Ruff House, it took HOURS to get the owner on the phone. Hours. Our dog could have DIED! Luckily, he made it home with only a scratched nose and diarrhea. This place needs to be closed down.

This dog boarding place is awesome. My dog suffers from separation anxiety, but does very good here away from me overnight. You should try their daycare too. 5 star there too.

My husband and I cannot say enough good things about this company! The employees are fantastic and put us at ease with any concerns we have about our dog. Our rescue has stayed with Ruff Lyfe for a 4 week board and train and a couple refresher weeks over the last year. Her confidence is growing immensely with each visit and the Ruff Lyfe team always keeps us updated with pictures, videos, and messages during her stay. Most importantly, they have provided US with the training we needed to hold our pup accountable at home and continue her training. You are making and EXCELLENT decision when you choose Ruff Lyfe!

We absolutely love Ruff Lyfe Dog Training!! We took our 6 month old puppy to them and it made a huge difference in our puppy. She is so well behaved and listens to commands now. It has made our life much easier and much more enjoyable with our puppy. I can't thank them enough for what they accomplished. The staff was very friendly and the trainer kept in contact with us throughout the process. I couldn't have asked for a better place to take my sweet pup!! Thank you Ruff Lyfe :)

After doing research on local trainers, we decided to go to Ruff Lyfe. Our trainer, Natalie, was absolutely incredible. She was professional, insightful, and extremely pleasant. She worked with our schedule and customized our training plan perfectly to our dog. We have a one year old german shepherd who struggles with excitability, so often jumps on people and uncontrollably barks. The results even after our first session were incredible. He is like a new dog, and we are incredibly grateful for Natalie and Ruff Lyfe and cannot recommend them enough. They are not only knowledgeable but also genuinely care about the outcome of the training.

Ruff Lyfe Dog Training worked wonders for our shelter dog, Indy. He is a big bundle of energy and we needed help! Indy stayed at Ruff Lyfe for intensive training for 4 weeks and came home to us a well-behaved, well-mannered, lovable dog. He is still energetic and happy, but now we understand how to help him channel the energy and how to keep him in line. Natalie was amazing with our dog. She gave us feedback every week and emailed pictures of his progress and field trips. She was very patient with us as we spent time learning how to maintain Indy's commands. After we brought our dog home, she even sent us a sweet video of our dog learning his manners and commands and having an all-around fun time at Ruff Lyfe.

We love the friendliness of the staff and how well they work with animals. You can tell they truly love their job and have been properly trained themselves and know what they are doing. The dogs love the staff members, and are eager to learn. They keep them entertained and learning. The facility is clean and accommodating for dogs of all sizes. Our dogs (two large Cane Corso Mastiffs) have utilized several services from Ruff Lyfe and as owners we have been more than satisfied with each service, hence why we keep coming back for all of our needs. The dogs have improved their skills in many ways. We’ve had our dogs boarded while on a short trip. We’ve done 3 week dog training in home, which for our plan consisted of a couple in home sessions a week. We’ve done a board and train while on a short trip. We’ve done a month long train for our female where she stayed at the facility to work on her socialization skills, remote collar training, and Outside manners. Ruff Lyfe has worked with the dogs on creating skills that they didn’t have at all, and worked on brushing up skills that they had but needed improvement. No matter what we’ve worked with them on, the outcome has always been exactly what our home needed and has helped us understand our dogs needs better. We will always reach out to Ruff Lyfe for any pet needs!

I absolutely love Ruff Lyfe Dog Training. Our dog, Boo, is fully deaf but now knows commands and hand signs for sit, ‘place’ (which is a life saver), and a few others. He is very well behaved and patient with our two kids as well (4&8). And it is thanks to Ruff Lyfe and their amazing owners.

I've had my 2 male and female Standard AKC Poodles at Ruff Lyfe Dog Training for a 4 wk, on or off leash, Board and Train. I picked my female, Harley, up yesterday and she is a changed dog. All her old habits of begging for food while I'm eating is gone, bolting in and out of doors is gone and she stays on place until I free her. She will also be a joy to walk with a leash when the weather is nice! I'm so pleased with her training and can't wait to get my male Bo, back home as well and see all that he has learned!! Thank you Ruff Lyfe Dog Training, Great Job!!!
