Cindy is absolutely a master dog trainer. She cares not just that your dog is learning but cares about the overall well being of our dogs. I have done obedience classes at other places and never before had a trainer shared the importance of brushing and nail care. Cindy wants for her clients to be successful. I am so excited to continue to take classes and watch my dog grow into the great pup he is meant to be with the guidance of Cindy. If you need a superb dog training place, this is where you want to go! I can't wait for our next class to start! Thank you Cindy!

Life changing training taught with love and respect…read more I cannot say enough great things about Susan & the services she offers at N.D.O.T. It was soon into our initial consult with Susan that I knew she was offering something special with the training methods and communication structures that go into her Board & Train services. At the time of our consult we had a 2-year-old energetic blue heeler that was a perfect storm of energy, anxiety, and smarts. Arriving from HSSA, we are the second home for our little girl and knowing she's a working breed we tried to keep her both physically and mentally stimulated. We had already been through courses with another highly rated training facility here in Tucson (multiple individual 6-week courses: beginner-advanced as well as private lessons with trainers from the facility focusing on reactivity). One of the difficulties we still ran into was leash aggression and her anxiety around other dogs. Concerned she was going to hurt another animal or cause health problems to herself we were struggling to find a path to harmony with our little one. During the initial consult we discussed our backstory and the current training methods we were practicing. Susan shared the outline for how her typical board & train program progressed and then she spent time discussing how she planned to tailor the program to focus on the areas we were most concerned with. We left the first meeting with a boarding start date, some diet adjustments [we were overfeeding / treating :( ], and a ton of relief knowing how much we clicked with Susan's outlook/experience/reassurance. After starting and throughout the program Susan gave us regular updates on our little one's progress. It was incredible to witness the growth of confidence and trust this cattle dog gained during her first week with Susan and the pack. She transformed from an anxious, reactive, & lungeing terror around other dogs to a playful, curious, and happy member of Susan's pack. She was getting along with and safely learning how to interact off-leash around dogs of all sizes. During the final half of the program Susan went out of her way to ensure life 'post-graduation' was going to be set for success. We were able to join pack-walks at N.D.O.T. to learn and demonstrate the communication techniques Susan provided us. Susan brought our little one home prior to finishing training to join us for neighborhood walks in our own streets (helping us discover new opportunities for successful play and training in the future). We even got the opportunity to join Susan for multiple field trips with the pup. The communication had improved so much that we were practicing public training outings at everywhere from hardware shops to farmers markets. The program ended after enjoying a wonderful meal on a Resturant patio the pup calmly resting throughout (this is something 3 weeks earlier I never would have believed possible!) I am unable to overstate the gratitude I have for Susan's training and the improved communication skills we have developed with our four-legged loved one because of it. This training pays dividends. Keep Susan's contact info saved because even if it's not today someday you will want it. To me N.D.O.T. is the equivalent of a low-key amazing restaurant or bar. If you know someone who could benefit from working with Susan and you want to give that person the gift of a lifetime then just share Susan's info and let them know she really is life changing.

At the same time I broke my wrist so five months later I had a young dog who had not been socialized and was totally out of control. I was completely overwhelmed. Susan took Benny and after three weeks he was a totally different dog. He is socialized so I can now take him out in public without him causing total chaos. He is now attentive and well mannered. Susan constantly stays in touch with me to check on his progress. It was worth every penny to have Susan work with our dog. I am very grateful for what she has done. Roni Woolston

Ray has been watching our 3 min pins for 2.5 years and we could not be more happy with her…read moreservices! She started to train our youngest since she was 8 weeks old and she is the most behaved min pin you have met (hehe). Ray takes them to weekly doggy day camps, pet sits when were out of the country and is always so accountable.

She listens to everything he says to her through his body language, and she is able to intuitively understand his needs or preferences. This is the exact kind of person I want watching my animals while I am away, because I know that they understand and respect animal behavior. From the very beginning of the process, Ray was incredible to me and my animals. She was very thorough in getting to understand my animals needs before I ever even left. She asked a lot of questions that helped me feel very secure that she had my animals true best interests at heart. The entire time I was gone, I received consistent and detailed updates from Ray, and this was so amazing for me !! I've had pet sitters give updates, but Ray literally sends videos, pictures, and stories of things that happened, in addition to the basic updates. I really received so much joy being able to have a window into my doggies and kitties worlds while I was away, and knowing that they weren't upset or uncomfortable without me made it so much easier for me to relax and be present where I was. I would 10/10 recommend Ray's Petcare and will definitely ask her again the next time I leave. ​

The vet said Minnie had not experienced much of the world. I decided Minnie should get that chance and then I found Little Paws On The Prairie. Liz and the dogs have done an amazing job helping Minnie feel safe enough to explore her surroundings, which I know took great patience. Minnie loves playing in the back yard, which is perfectly set up for tons of dog fun. She also loves the daily walks at the park and visiting the dog park with Liz and the other dogs. Minnie comes home from daycare, just as tired as I do after a long days work, which I love. One year ago I would not have believed that Minnie would be trying to jump out of my arms when she arrives at daycare, but now 8 months into daycare and she loves it.

She got the most amazing start to not only her physical health, but she is a gorgeous balanced pup for life thanks to Christine. The amount of time she (and her pack) worked with her including learning the structured walk (this is where the MAGIC happens) and put her on the perfect balanced diet to build her early immune system and learn her place in the family was evaluable. My son and I DID go once a week to work with her and LEARN what to do once she came home and that was so important as YOU have to follow through. My sweet girl is so wonderfully socialized, happy and healthy thanks to Christine. She also helped me with MY perfect little boy who had some leash resistance issues. That took ONE lesson and BAM. I have recommended her to friends in Phoenix who thought they had an agressive "red zone" dog. She traveled there and in 5 minutes zeroed in on the issue. She really IS a dog BEHAVIORIST and so much more then a "trainer". I honestly should have reviewed her sooner but today I HAD to!!! I have ZERO doubts she saved my grandpuppy's liter mates life today. Marley was on deaths door likely from Parvo and if not for Christine's loving care, would likely not have survived the night. Watching her work with pure love and know-how is just a gift. Boarding, one on one individual lessons in YOUR home, puppy boot camp and more...from aggressive behaviour to just regular training, she is the ONLY behaviorist I would ever use or recommend.

Before choosing a dog trainer, we looked at countless options online. Ruff House was the only one…read morethat got back to us and was accepting new clients, or in some cases, got back to us at all. We weren't sure what to expect, as we are new to dog training. We scheduled an initial appointment for private in-home training that was $150 and was listed to be up to an hour and a half. Following the payment, we received an email with the trainer's availability and requested a time within it. We then had to go back and forth to find a time that worked for the trainer. It would have been much more helpful to just receive a list of dates/times that were still available instead of just a general schedule for booking. Again, we weren't sure what to expect but got up bright and early for an 8:00am session in our home the morning after Thanksgiving. The trainer was 8 minutes late. I know that isn't a huge amount of time, but it was our first meeting and we were ready on time and waiting. We received some helpful tips on how to start working on the main concerns we had with our dog, but felt like we didn't receive clear instruction on what to do if the dog didn't do the command, etc. We contemplated booking more sessions, but ultimately decided against it for the amount of money we paid vs the information we received. Maybe dog training just isn't for us. Maybe we just didn't mesh with the trainer. This was our experience.
