Ruff Beginnings Dog Training

Dasha's skills as a trainer are truly commendable! Our dog has exhibited noticeable positive changes following our training sessions with her. We wholeheartedly endorse her services!

Dasha is an accomplished and knowledgeable dog trainer who displays boundless enthusiasm for the welfare of her clients' dogs. I highly endorse Dasha and her establishment to anyone seeking to enhance their bond with their furry friend. When my wife and I welcomed our young, lively standard poodle, Pumpkin, into our home, our days became considerably more active. Dasha taught us how to assimilate Pumpkin into our routine by providing personalized guidance and group sessions, leading to better communication with Pumpkin. We recently had the opportunity to enroll Pumpkin in Dasha's board and train program, where she worked with her for several weeks. The results were undeniable, as Pumpkin's attitude and behavior significantly improved. We are pleased to maintain this collaboration with Dasha and anticipate great progress in the future!

Dasha is an absolute lifesaver! Our two dogs were once unruly and unmanageable puppies, but under her guidance, they have made immense progress. Our pit bull, Aurora, adores Dasha and has learned an array of tricks and obedience techniques. Thanks to Dasha's expertise, Aurora is on her way to obtaining CGC certification and has become a well-behaved and upstanding canine companion. As for our Golden Retriever, Maximus, Dasha played a crucial role in his development and has helped reduce his endless energy. The level of training and support she provides is truly exceptional - no question is too small, and she always provides relevant examples. Additionally, Dasha is incredibly patient, even with difficult clients like us. She not only corrects our dogs' behavior but also our own, helping us identify and overcome bad habits. We cannot thank her enough and wholeheartedly recommend her services.

My 7 month old golden retriever was a handful before Dasha trained him. He was rude and bratty, barking for attention, playfully biting, jumping up, and ignoring my calls. However, after Dasha's board and train program, he returned completely transformed! He now responds to my calls off-leash and has mastered the commands "wait" and "leave it". His bad behaviors are history. Working with Dasha was a joy - she was responsive, kind, and easy to work with. She kept me updated with pictures and progress reports, and listened carefully to my concerns. I trusted her completely and knew that my pup was in good hands. Dasha treated him like her own, spoiling him and training him in a comfortable home environment, rather than keeping him cooped up in a kennel.

Dasha has proven to be an exceptional trainer by thoroughly investigating various approaches to training, and selecting one that caters perfectly to domestic animals.
