* How Dogs Learn *
Dogs don’t misbehave out of spite—they behave based on what’s worked for them in the past.
Whether it’s jumping, barking, or ignoring a recall, there’s always a reason behind the behavior.
With a little consistency and the right communication, your dog will learn what earns rewards—and what doesn’t. It’s not magic. It’s science. And it works.
* Science *
Classical conditioning (changing how your dog feels about a situation)
Operant conditioning (reinforcing the behaviors you want to see more of)
Management and prevention (setting your dog up for success)
* Why Ruff Riders? *
I’m a CPDT-KA Certified Dog Trainer with over 5 years of hands-on experience working with everything from wild puppies to over-aroused adolescents to dogs who just need a little help learning to listen. I’m passionate about helping you and your dog build a strong, lasting relationship based on trust, communication, and mutual respect.
Whether you're trying to survive the puppy stage, stop your dog from dragging you down the street, or need help with reactivity or fear, I’ve got you. Every training plan is customized to your lifestyle and your dog’s unique personality—and it’s all grounded in behavioral science and positive reinforcement. No pain. No force. Just real results, built on empathy and evidence.
Plus, our luxury boarding services are in-home, enrichment-based, and designed to make your dog feel safe, supported, and right at home.
