About Diamonds In the Ruff

Our Training Philosophy Dog training is all about forming a cooperative relationship with your dog. Willing, eager, compliant, smart, mannerly. Listens and follows directions! A dog who is polite, easy to live with and fun to take everywhere with you. Our goal is to teach your dog how to listen and follow directions from the whole family using positive, reward-based methods that do not rely on physical strength or intimidation. Our instructors will give you the tools you need to build communication and a satisfying relationship built on mutual respect and trust through kind and gentle training. Group classes start monthly, beginning through advanced levels.
