Crystal with Ruff House Dog Training is an exceptional trainer of both dogs and their human handlers. My 5 month old pup and I are on a journey to hopefully become a certified therapy dog team. Crystal knows what it takes and is guiding us every step of the way to reach our goal. I would not hesitate in recommending her to anyone in need of the best trainer Tucson/Oro Valley/Marana has to offer!

I started training with Crystal 8 years ago with my 2 year old smooth fox terrier. The world overwhelmed Wylie and I truely didn't know how to help him or have the training skills. Wylie is our 5th SFT. We've had the breed since 1996 and are very fimilar with their personalities. I am extremely grateful to Crystal for assessing Wylie's issues and giving me the training tools to help Wylie relax, keep his focus on me and most importantly build his confidence. Besides obedience training Wylie has done Fungility, Rally and earned his three AKC tricks titles all through Ruff House. If you have a dog with issues reach out to Crystal before giving up. She has the knowledge and skill set to help you and your dog. Thanks Crystal.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Crystal was absolutely phenomenal. She came to our house and did a private one-on-one training session, and I am honestly amazed by the results. Within 15 minutes, she had already helped correct our puppy’s behavior in a way that felt clear, effective, and manageable for us to continue. I am utterly surprised and so incredibly thankful at the same time. Her knowledge, guidance, and ability to assess what was going on so quickly made such a huge difference for our family. For the first time in a while, I feel like we finally have hope — and I can actually get some sleep tonight. I cannot recommend Crystal enough. If you are struggling with your puppy’s behavior, she is absolutely worth it. I thought my dog Chloe was being attacked by our little puppy, but in reality she was actively playing, and Crystal was able to give me some tips and tricks for handling both an active dog/puppy and an adult dog who wants to be the big sister to her brother. Way better than couples counseling and definitely did some to begin with for me and my boyfriend’s parenting styles.

A chihuahua A small Golden Retriever with a small mix of Australian Cattle dog. Two crazy breeds. One hates everyone one loves everyone unless he feels his little dog is being threatened. Crystal from Ruff House saved my sanity and helped quiet our chaotic home in five sessions. The chihuahua I learned was driven by fear and anxiety. Picking him up and removing him from the person or situation was a work through experience. The Golden Mix is so much calmer with the learned reinforcements from Crystal. I am eternally grateful for her and Ruff House assistance.
