Ruff House

👁 Looking for volunteers to help be a "stranger" on Canine Good Citizen tests and a "witness" for Service Dog Tests. Please DM me if interested. 👌🏻

These happen randomly each month. Thanks in advance. 👋🏻

📣 Ruff House Update:
A few weeks back I was wondering why this was taking me so long to type up and one day in church I realized what it was... I didn't want to stop helping people. 😒

That is my passion, to help others in whatever way I can and with this business it is in their relationship with their dogs.

At this time, Michael has gotten a new full-time military job 🇺🇸 so I am cutting back on work to be a stay at home mom for my kiddos, which I was craving. 🥰 Time goes by fast and I was missing out on a lot in these kids lives. I am happy to be home, going to the park with Theodore, cooking yummy meals and so on.

Teddy started Preschool two days a week which he is enjoying. =) Lauren is in 5th grade and becoming a wonderful young lady.

I will start Ruff House back again when Teddy goes to school full-time, we are just on a hiatus.

I still have in my plans to do classes every once in awhile once I get used to this new schedule like; Therapy, Agility and Tricks.

Feel free to reach out to say hi or whatever, I'm still here, just in a different role. I'd love to meet you at the park to hang out with Teddy, grab a cup of coffee and go for a walk, etc. Just know I have a Malinois in a little boy's body that needs to move around 😉

In other great news, Maple Bacon got certified in Therapy work through Alliance of Therapy Dogs. So we will continue our passion of bringing joy and smiles to others in that respect. We hope to get started next month. ☺️

Thanks for being a part of our journey! 🐶🐾
Stay tuned...

🐶 You know those puppy dog eyes everyone talks about?!

Welp, these are them! 🥰

This team is ready to take their Therapy Dog Test. 👏🏼

So fun seeing their growth during our 5 sessions.

They will make a ripple effect by affecting others' lives in such a positive manner. Go get em' team Myles. 🥰

Here's another one! Hard to tell because you can't see the whole body, but what breed is this dog?

Hint: she has a docked tail.

How many pictures does it take to get littermates to be still?! 🤣

Around 10 😂😅🥰

These two are an adorable duo, and their owners have set them on the right pawth by starting their training before they even came home! 🤩

Today we focused on leash skills.

When your client needs to borrow your hair tie. 😂

Can you name this breed?

Update: this is a Bouvier.

📢 Training Tip
Did you know, chewing is a natural settling and relaxing behavior?

We strive to give our dogs something to chew on each afternoon. 🌤

Some of our dogs’ favorites are bully sticks, beef cheeks, Himalayan yak chews, collagen chews, frozen stuffed Kongs, marrow bones, and chicken feet.

🐶 We had a client ask us once is it okay for my dog to tear apart cardboard boxes? Yes, of course!
Just know, they may decide to chew apart a box before you get it's contents out, so be sure to keep them away from your dog if you don't want them getting into the box before you. 😂

Do you give your dogs chews? If so, what are their favorite chews? Tell us in the comments below. Be sure to like and follow us for more training tips.
