"Duffy is a spunky little guy who always has something to say. I have taken him to both training and to 'Doggie Daycare' at Ruff Relations. Duffy's spirit is appreciated as much as he appreciates Vanessa---which is a great deal! He obviously loves his time at 'Daycare' and I love the fact that I know he is in loving and expert hands at Ruff Relations!"

"Murphy loves Ruff Relations. He attends day care most every day for at least 4 hours. He has made many doggie friends and just loves to come. If the center is closed he mopes around all day-he misses all his friends. It is the best experience for any dog. Check it out."

"Parker has been to other daycares in the area, but he has never lit up like Christmas anywhere but Ruff Relations. If we're within a one mile radius of daycare he starts vibrating with excitement. He LOVES Vanessa and he's made so many wonderful friends. He's treated like a king and I trust Ruff Relations completely when it comes to my boy!"

A big thank you to Vanessa and Danielle for running such an amazing, classy place!.....I end my day looking at the great photos that Vanessa takes/posts daily!"

 "We got Ocean from the SPCA as a one year old. We did not know how much socialization he had with other dogs...it did not seem like much. While he liked other dogs, he did not seem to understand how to interact. However, in the well supervised setting of the play group, Ocean quickly learned just how much sniffing, etc. was tolerated. He now quickly acclimates to any group of dogs and has lots of fun at play group."

" This place is a godsend for us. My Weimaraner Micah is high energy and high maintenance, but since he's been in daycare with Ruff Relations he's become very mellow and low key. Vanessa and crew do a fabulous job of keeping all the dogs relaxed, happy and tired. Highly recommended!"

"My Bella has one week left of the K9 Good Citizen Program and it's wonderful. She always looks forward to class and Venessa has helped make her into the polite puppy I know she can be!"

"Emma is a busy, busy Golden, and a rescue - so she is a little insecure. This fall and winter at Ruff Relations has been a really wonderful thing for her and for us. She plays and runs and comes home tired and easy to handle. She attended daycare a LOT while we were moving and it really helped her cope with the upheaval in her home life having a reliable constant source of love and attention in her days. Maddy just loves the whole experience, and going to daycare keeps her out of mischief at home. Next we are going to try Agility training for some fun together activity."

"Cheyenne loves hanging out with her friends at Ruff Relations..It is by far the best doggie daycare ever!! Do your dog a favor and check it out!!!"

"I started taking Tyoga to Vanessa's play group sessions to help overcome his fears. Thanks to the guidance from Vanessa, I'm proud to say that Tyoga is now a happy confident dog with many new doggie friends."

"I cannot believe what a difference doggy day care makes for my brood. They are mellow, happy and can't wait to keep going back. They have learned to play with others, not just themselves. Thank you for bringing peace into our lives. There is only one complaint that I have about Ruff Relations and that is, why aren't you open on Sundays????????"

"Our Bentley had the best 1st day ever at Ruff Relations! Better than Disney World! He is sleeping now - all tuckered out! Thank you for sharing the photos of him and his new friends. We look forward to coming back often."

"I tried another class before Vanessa's and Kavi hated it. But Vanessa has this quiet way of reaching out to dogs that I haven't found elsewhere. Kavi immediately trusted her and under Vanessa has made amazing strides, ultimately passing the Canine Good Citizen exam. "

"Thank you for all your help in getting Grace settled in our home. You offered so many wonderful ideas to help with house training and chewing. I'm still amazed with all the things Grace was able to learn."

"My dog has learned so much and so have I. We had fun and really enjoyed the classes. Vanessa has given me a dog that people want to be around. I told all my friends how good these classes are."

"When I bought my Yorkie, I knew I wanted to teach her some good manners and obedience skills. I thought I could do it myself, but it was too difficult. I just couldn't and didn't know how. Although funds were bit tight I decided to take her to training classes but didn't know where. I checked online and couldn't find anything close to where I live. I had heard Vanessa had dog training classes and even though she lived far from me I decided to give her a try. After taking Violet to several individual classes with Vanessa, Violet is doing things like sitting, waiting, lying down and dropping things from her mouth when I tell her to leave it. UNBELIEVABLE! I never would have thought Violet could do these things. Violet and I are now taking Vanessa's walking classes, and we're doing great. Vanessa does such a wonderful job. She shows you how to get your dog to do things even when you think "Violet will never learn that"! You can see Vanessa has a real love and care for animals, and she really enjoys what she is doing. I'm very happy and extremely pleased with all the things Vanessa has taught  me and Violet! I highly recommend Vanessa to anyone who wants their dog to behave and learn good manners!!!"

"Vanessa not only taught my dog better behavior, she showed me how to handle and train the dog myself in a gentle yet effective manner. Thanks Ruff Relations!"
