If you are needing help with DOG TRAINING, I highly recommend Ruff Pup! I’ve had animals my whole life and after my two previous golden retrievers passed away, I finally caved in and got another golden retriever because I’ve had such wonderful experiences with the breed.

If you are needing help with DOG TRAINING, I highly recommend Ruff Pup! I’ve had animals my whole life and after my two previous golden retrievers passed away, I finally caved in and got another golden retriever because I’ve had such wonderful experiences with the breed. Much to my surprise this time, my dog, Duke, has been very frustrating to train. He’s smart enough to learn the commands, but too stubborn and reactive to follow through with them consistently. I found myself wondering if it was the right thing to get this dog (as a dog lover, I was caught off guard that I’d ever even have that thought). I decided to reach out for professional help. I had done group training sessions with Duke beforehand (NOT at Ruff Pup), and while the class was likely helpful to others, it wasn’t helpful for Duke. He was the star of the class because he could do all his commands - until - he didn’t want to. This made it difficult to really enjoy having my dog because I couldn’t trust him in public settings and I found myself preferring to leave him at home rather than risk it. I wondered how I got into this situation. I imagined having a different relationship with this dog rather than the current feeling of being nervous and frustrated to have my dog in public or even outside my front door. I didn’t feel confident inviting friends over because Duke was so embarrassing. I felt sheepish in front of my neighbors and I would never choose to take Duke to a public park or store. I reached out to Andrew with Ruff Pup wondering if he could take Duke in for the board and train program. I wasn’t so sure what they could do differently since training dogs wasn’t a completely foreign concept to me, but, I knew I needed help because nothing was clicking for me and Duke no matter how many approaches I tried. Fast forward four weeks and I am now so happy with my well-behaved golden retriever, Duke! I take him on car rides, we enjoy walks, he listens better. I was skeptical that much could change in only four weeks, but I assure you, everything has changed. In a nutshell, I feel like Duke has finally settled into himself. Duke seems less reactive, less stressed, less stubborn - and more confident, more eager to please, and he is a joy to have as company. His temperament has been such a delight. I am so glad Duke went to Ruff Pup for training. It was totally worth it!! Thank you, Ruff Pup, for giving me the rest of Duke’s lifetime to ENJOY him! Less

Andrew, the Ruff Pup owner in the Provo Mall is amazing to work with. He works with dogs at all levels and skills. His group behavior classes have a pack walk and then practice behavior in many different areas. One of our dogs is reactive to other dogs.

Andrew and his staff have worked wonders for Daphne, our boxer/black lab mix who was wildly reactive to other dogs before Andrew's help.
