If you want a quality place that will keep a close eye on your pup look no further…read more It isn't fancy. In fact it stinks like dirty dogs. Which is fine- cuz it's packed full of dogs rough housing all day! Marcus runs the show. He's damn good with canine behavior and training- and my vote totes counts as I'm a veterinarian. He has at least 2 ladies working for him, and they're attentive as well. The dogs have a large room to romp all day. Clean ups are quick and complete. Records are required to make sure communicable diseases are at a minimum. The dogs LOVE being there. Many places don't let dogs play all day. Many others don't have staff that are fully trained in canine behavior, and therefore skirmishes or lack of appropriate training/response to behaviors doesn't happen. Ruff House keeps the dogs best interest in mind. Prices are very fair. I think they should charge more honestly. They offer training services as well, and are always active with the local rescue groups to help dogs. I only wish they had expanded hours and weekends! My girl goes 2-3 times a week while we work. She starts vibrating with excitements when we turn onto 7th street. And at drop off its "peace out Mom!"

We started working with Gueseppe in December of 2025 after our almost 2 year old Aussie, Jett had…read moreseveral instances of almost backing out of her harness and into traffic while walking downtown. She was also very uneasy during all of her walks and endlessly scanned her entire surroundings. It was physically and emotionally exhausting for all of us. The phone consultation was fantastic. Gueseppe asked us a series of questions about her training to date, what we thought was causing her to be nervous and what we wanted to get out of training. We want to be able to travel with her and ensure her safety, was our ultimate goal. We enrolled in the 2-month package with Jett. She was reluctant to enter the building and Gueseppe got to see first hand what a mini Jett panic attack looked like. Our first session was focused on motivation, conditioning and rewarding the behavior we expected her to do. Training with a slip collar made a huge & positive difference in making sure our communication was clear up and down the leash. We used the agility equipment to help her overcome fears of walking on different surfaces. Each week, we got homework to build on the previous learnings and started to see how putting her into obedience brought Jett comfort. We started to see a new spring in her step. By the third session we had already started to see her make breakthroughs in confidence, clarity and calmness when arriving to school. This was when we started working with Tiffany, who was wonderful. She spent a lot of time training me on how to be clear in my communication without bending down and becoming tangled up in the leash. The training of the human gave me so much insight into how I was inadvertently reinforcing the feeling of panic for Jett and I've learned how to dial it way back. I could see and feel Jett's emotional growth. I think she also could feel me getting more relaxed. The major growth day was the day we did a walk downtown with her and Tiffany walked with us as coach. We literally faced every situation that had caused Jett and I to panic in the past. When we got back to the school, we were all so proud of Jett. At our last class, Gueseppe joined us and Jett was happy to show him everything she had learned. Jett has graduated now and we are continuing our work with pack walks, alumni training days and taking her out into situations that we would normally have shied away from. The bonding we've experienced with Jett has been an incredible gift. She used to drool (she gets carsick) at the idea of getting into the car. She now gets excited and puts her paws up so she can be lifted in. Long story short. This training was the best money we have ever spent on any dog training course. We have a small and mighty toolbox to ensure that we are successful in all situations. We have a stronger bond with our pup and our older Aussie is enjoying going on walks with her now. My confidence is much stronger and the gratitude we feel for Companion Canine coming to Jacksonville, OR is immerse.

I…read moregot Ziva as a 6 week old puppy and was training her myself to be my Mobility Service Dog & she was doing very well....until she was 8 months old and was poisoned & spent 7 weeks in her crate. Her training went out to the window. She started knocking me down & Stomping on me to the point I had broken ribs. 10 more weeks in either her crate or dog run & she really needed an Attitude Adjustment! They did an EXCELLENT JOB! Ziva now has her CGC & will soon pass her Public Access test for ADA . Ziva is a joy again & is welcome in any grocery store, his box store & medical facilities! I'm Thrilled with the progress CC made & am very pleased with their Follow Up programs. I Highly Recommend these two Awesome Trainers! Best of Luck Christie & Ziva

She also connected with my cat and horses. She is amazing. Then I find out she has been doing TV shows in Japan for many years. She is very easy to talk to, and I felt very comfortable with her.
