What Is Relationship Based Training?
Relationship-Based Dog Training focuses on building trust, communication, and a strong bond between the dog and the handler. Rather than relying on fear or force, this method emphasizes understanding the dog’s needs, motivations, and body language. Training becomes a two-way dialogue, where both the dog and the human learn from each other. The goal is to create a well-mannered, confident, and cooperative dog by strengthening the relationship through structure, consistency, clear expectations, and positive interactions.
Ruff Pup Board and Train Programs
Board and Train is an immersive training program where your dog stays in a professional kennel environment for a set period—typically ranging from 2 to 6 weeks—depending on your dog’s needs and goals. During this time, your dog receives daily, hands-on training sessions in a structured environment that simulates a real home environment, out on walks and trails, as well as other dog friendly public settings.
Benefits of Board and Train:
Faster Results: Daily professional training accelerates learning and behavior change.
Consistent Routine: Dogs thrive with structure—this program reinforces consistent rules, routines, and expectations.
Real-World Practice: Dogs are trained in a home style training space, public places, and in real-life situations, not just in a sterile facility.
Expert Guidance: Your dog is handled by experienced trainers who can address a wide range of issues, from basic obedience to complex behavior challenges.
Less Stress for You: We do the heavy lifting, then teach you how to maintain your dog’s progress at home.
Lifelong Support: Our program includes lifetime follow-up sessions and group classes for continued success.
Board and Train is ideal for busy owners or those struggling with stubborn behaviors who want real, lasting transformation with professional support.
Ruff Pup Day Camp Programs
Day Camp Training is a drop-off training program where your dog spends the day with professional trainers and returns home each evening. It combines the structure and consistency of a board and train program with the comfort of your dog sleeping in their own home at night.
Benefits of Day Camp Training:
Same High-Quality Training: Your dog receives focused, professional training each day—just like a board and train program.
Home Every Night: Great for owners who want their dog to maintain a strong home bond while still getting expert training.
Flexible Scheduling: Drop off in the morning, pick up in the evening—ideal for busy professionals or families.
Faster Progress: Daily training and structured routines help your dog learn quickly and retain what they’ve learned.
Confidence Building: Dogs work in real-world environments with distractions to build confidence in new environments, social skills and obedience in public.
Ongoing Support: Our programs include lifetime follow-up training and lifetime access to group classes to maintain success.
Day Camp Training is perfect for dogs who need consistent, professional guidance without overnight boarding—and for owners who want the best of both worlds.
Ruff Pup Private Training Programs

Whether you're dealing with basic obedience, problem behaviors, or just want to build a stronger bond with your dog, private training provides focused, individualized support in your home or in real-world environments.
Benefits of Private Training:
Personalized Attention: Every session is customized to your dog’s personality, challenges, and learning style.
Owner Involvement: You’ll be hands-on in the training process, learning techniques and strategies alongside your dog.
Flexible Scheduling: Sessions are set at times that work best for you and your lifestyle.
Home-Based Solutions: We work directly in your home or neighborhood, addressing behaviors where they actually happen.
Great for Specific Issues: Perfect for dogs with fear, reactivity, or other behaviors that require a calmer, more controlled environment.
