⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Ruff Rules is AMAZING! We had the best experience working with Ruff Rules and our incredible trainer, Eva! Our dog Charlie stayed for two and a half weeks of in-house training, and the transformation has been unbelievable. Eva is patient, professional, and truly understands dog behavior on a deep level. She kept us updated throughout his stay and made us feel completely at ease knowing he was in great hands. When Charlie came home, he was a new dog—in the best way! He listens beautifully, responds to commands, and is so much more confident. Eva tailored every lesson to his personality and our family’s needs, and she taught us how to maintain everything he learned. If you’re looking for a trainer who genuinely cares and delivers real results, Eva at Ruff Rules is the best of t

Franklin our mini Aussiedoodle had the opportunity to board and train with Eva at Ruff Rules for 3 weeks. We were struggling with leash pulling, staying calm in his crate, coming when called and being reactive to other dogs. After 3 weeks of Eva’s consistent training we’ve now got a well trained dog we can take to restaurants, walk in public all without having the constant fear of him acting out. Now the work is up to us to reinforce the training so we continue to have a well mannered pup. Thank you Ruff Rules!!

We sent our dog, Malibu, to Ruff Rules for a 2 1/2-week training program, and we couldn’t be more impressed with the results. He came back like a brand-new pup—still the same sweet Malibu we adore, but so much better behaved. His leash manners, greetings at the door, and overall behavior have improved so much, and we can truly see the difference. Beyond the training itself, we were blown away by the program and the environment at Ruff Rules’ home base. The way all the women come together to train the dogs while creating such a warm, welcoming atmosphere made us feel completely comfortable leaving Malibu there for the full stay. We’re so grateful for the care, effort, and love they put into his training. Five stars and a huge thank you from us! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Ruff Rules and their training programs. This is the second time I’ve trusted Keely with my Newfoundland, and once again she exceeded every expectation. I recommend her to everyone. When I first heard about board and train programs, I was hesitant to send my dog to a stranger and worried his goofy personality would be trained right out of him. But after talking with Keely the first time, I immediately knew she was incredibly knowledgeable and truly passionate about training and the dogs she’s entrusted with. It ended up being one of the best decisions I could have made for both myself and my dog. I originally found Keely when I first moved to Fort Lauderdale in 2020. My 120 lb Newfoundland, Moose, had never lived in a city environment before. Sudd

I cannot express the gratitude I have for Eva and Ruff Rules enough. I brought my 8 month old female French bulldog, Billie for the boarded training. In a home with a baby and a cat, Billie struggled with chewing, chasing and extremely impulsive behavior. I truly needed some guidance and help in getting her on track and trained for success not only for our family, but for her too!! I knew she didn’t like getting in trouble and the stress she caused us and getting her the help she needed was at the top of the list. Well… I am happy to say, we have been home almost a week now and Ms Billie is truly another dog. She listens, is not bouncing off the walls and is minding her P’s and Q’s - and she is happy about it!! Of course I do see her struggle slightly but with a quick, “Leave it” or “Sit
