They need guidance, consistency, and a relationship they can rely on.

At Ruff Pup, we believe great training starts with understanding the dog in front of us.

Their needs.
Their motivations.
Their confidence.
Their environment.
And the relationship they share with their owner.

We use a balanced, relationship-based approach grounded in L.I.M.A. principles, combining clear communication, appropriate tools, reinforcement, and thoughtful structure.

Because the goal isn't just a dog that listens during a training session.

❤️ The goal is a dog you genuinely enjoy sharing your life with.

That's what we're building every day at Ruff Pup.

🐾 Changing Lives, One Dog at a Time.

🎤🐾 𝗘𝗫𝗖𝗜𝗧𝗜𝗡𝗚 𝗡𝗘𝗪𝗦 𝗙𝗥𝗢𝗠 𝗥𝗨𝗙𝗙 𝗣𝗨𝗣!

Our founder, Andrew Maunder, will be speaking at The Canine Conference!

His presentation:

“𝗕𝗘 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗧𝗥𝗔𝗜𝗡𝗘𝗥 𝗬𝗢𝗨 𝗔𝗥𝗘”

In an industry full of competing methods, strong opinions, and influential personalities, it's easy for dog trainers to lose sight of their own voice.

Andrew will be sharing his journey through more than a decade in professional dog training, including the lessons, challenges, and experiences that helped shape the trainer he is today.

It's a conversation about authenticity, growth, and finding your own path in the dog training industry.

One of the things we love most about Ruff Pup is watching dogs and their owners continue learning together.

Our group classes are about more than practicing sit, stay, and come.

They're about building confidence, improving communication, practicing around distractions, and connecting with other dog owners who understand the journey.

Whether you're working on leash manners, reactivity, confidence, or just want to keep challenging your dog, there's always something new to learn!

❤️ At Ruff Pup, you're not just enrolling in a training program. You're joining a community.

After more than 12 years of training dogs, here's something I know for certain:

I DON'T KNOW EVERYTHING.

And I'm completely comfortable saying that.

Because the more dogs I work with, the more I realize how much there is still to learn.

Different breeds.

Different genetics.

Different experiences.

Different motivations.

Different challenges.

And different approaches to helping them succeed.

That's why I continue attending seminars, learning from other professionals, and challenging my own understanding.

And it's also why I'm so excited to be presenting at The Canine Conference on November 7!

This virtual conference brings together canine professionals from around the world to share their knowledge about training, behavior, psychology, health, wellness, and much more.

And you don't have to be a professional trainer to attend.

IF YOU LOVE DOGS AND WANT TO UNDERSTAND THEM BETTER, THERE'S SOMETHING HERE FOR YOU.

📅 November 7–8, 14–15, and 21–22

🎟️ Conference Registration: $324.99

Okay, maybe they know you're unhappy.

But have you actually taught them what you WANT them to do?

Let's say your dog barks every time someone knocks on the door.

You yell, "𝗦𝗧𝗢𝗣 𝗕𝗔𝗥𝗞𝗜𝗡𝗚!"

Maybe they stop.

Maybe they don't.

But what have they learned?

Now imagine a different approach.

Instead of rushing the door, you want your dog to go to Place and wait calmly.

**𝗡𝗢𝗪 𝗪𝗘 𝗛𝗔𝗩𝗘 𝗔 𝗧𝗥𝗔𝗜𝗡𝗜𝗡𝗚 𝗣𝗟𝗔𝗡.**

First, teach Place in a quiet environment.

Then teach your dog to remain there.

Then practice moving around while they stay.

Then add small distractions.

Then practice someone approaching the door.

Eventually, we can begin introducing knocking, the doorbell, and guests entering.

One step at a time.

Because asking your dog to perform a behavior they haven't learned, in an environment where they can't yet succeed, isn't fair.

**𝗪𝗘 𝗗𝗢𝗡'𝗧 𝗝𝗨𝗦𝗧 𝗪𝗔𝗡𝗧 𝗧𝗢 𝗦𝗧𝗢𝗣 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗪𝗥𝗢𝗡𝗚 𝗕𝗘𝗛𝗔𝗩𝗜𝗢𝗥.**

We want to teach the RIGHT behavior.

And that starts with one question:

**"𝗪𝗛𝗔𝗧 𝗗𝗢 𝗬𝗢𝗨 𝗪𝗔𝗡𝗧 𝗬𝗢𝗨𝗥 𝗗𝗢𝗚 𝗧𝗢 𝗗𝗢 𝗜𝗡𝗦𝗧𝗘𝗔𝗗?"**

That's how we approach training at Ruff Pup.

Not simply reacting to problems.

Teaching dogs how to make better choices.

🐕 **𝗗𝗢𝗘𝗦 𝗬𝗢𝗨𝗥 𝗗𝗢𝗚 𝗛𝗔𝗩𝗘 𝗕𝗜𝗚 𝗙𝗘𝗘𝗟𝗜𝗡𝗚𝗦 𝗔𝗕𝗢𝗨𝗧 𝗢𝗧𝗛𝗘𝗥 𝗗𝗢𝗚𝗦 𝗢𝗥 𝗣𝗘𝗢𝗣𝗟𝗘?**

Barking.

Lunging.

Pulling.

Freezing.

Getting overwhelmed.

Sometimes the hardest part of having a reactive dog isn't just the behavior itself.

It's not knowing what to do when it happens.

**𝗧𝗛𝗔𝗧'𝗦 𝗪𝗛𝗬 𝗪𝗘 𝗛𝗔𝗩𝗘 𝗥𝗘𝗔𝗖𝗧𝗜𝗩𝗜𝗧𝗬 𝗖𝗟𝗔𝗦𝗦.**

Tonight at Ruff Pup, we're working on helping owners better understand their dogs and develop the handling skills needed to navigate challenging situations.

We'll focus on:

🐾 Reading canine body language

🐾 Understanding thresholds

🐾 Managing distance and space

🐾 Improving leash handling

🐾 Reinforcement timing

🐾 Teaching alternative behaviors

🐾 Helping dogs develop better responses around distractions

And most importantly…

**𝗛𝗘𝗟𝗣𝗜𝗡𝗚 𝗢𝗪𝗡𝗘𝗥𝗦 𝗙𝗘𝗘𝗟 𝗠𝗢𝗥𝗘 𝗖𝗢𝗡𝗙𝗜𝗗𝗘𝗡𝗧 𝗪𝗢𝗥𝗞𝗜𝗡𝗚 𝗪𝗜𝗧𝗛 𝗧𝗛𝗘𝗜𝗥 𝗗𝗢𝗚𝗦.**

Because reactivity isn't something we solve by simply telling a dog to stop barking.

We need to understand what's happening and teach skills the dog can actually use.

📅 **TONIGHT — FRIDAY, OCTOBER 16**
⏰ **6:30 PM**
📍 **RUFF PUP DOG TRAINING**
Provo Towne Centre Mall

Please arrive 5–10 minutes early and follow your dog's individual handling plan.

**𝗟𝗲𝘁'𝘀 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸 𝗼𝗻 𝗯𝘂𝗶𝗹𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗯𝗲𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗺𝘂𝗻𝗶𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻, 𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗽 𝗮𝘁 𝗮 𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗲. ❤️🐾**

And we're going to need photographic evidence. 😂🐕

We're just 9 DAYS AWAY from Ruff Pup's annual TRICK FOR A TREAT Halloween celebration!

And this year, we're excited to have Dogs in Focus joining us for professional dog photography!

Because let's face it…

Getting your dog to sit still for a picture can sometimes be harder than teaching them to Sit in the first place. 😂

So get those costumes ready!

📸 Stop by Ruff Pup for professional photos with Dogs in Focus.

🤳 Grab a selfie with your dog.

🏆 Enter our Dog Costume Contest.

🎃 Register for the Costume Parade.
