Helping Dogs thrive through STRUCTURE ACCOUNTABILITY LEADERSHIP
We believe every dog deserves guidance, every family deserves peace of mind, and every lesson builds trust—for life.
Our Services
Whether your dog is young or just needs a fresh start, we help build trust, focus, and a well-mannered companion you’ll be proud to walk beside.

Basic Obedience
At Ruff Patriots, our Basic Obedience program teaches essential commands like sit, down, stay, come, leash walking, and good manners

Advanced Obedience
For dogs who’ve mastered the basics, our Advanced Obedience program builds on that foundation with off-leash control, advanced recall, & distraction-proof focus.

Behavior Modification
Whether it’s aggression, anxiety, leash reactivity, or destructive habits, our Behavior Modification program is designed to reshape unwanted behaviors.

Specialized Training
Whether your goal is emotional support, public access, or skilled task work, we’ll help your dog reach their highest potential.
Our mission is to empower dog owners with the knowledge and skills to build strong, lifelong bonds with their canine companions. We are committed to fostering understanding and effective communication between dogs and their humans through personalized training programs.

“Ruff Patriots has been amazing to work with. I called Teresa when I needed help with our golden doodle. Teresa was quick to respond and eager to help us with our situation.
Archie, our 4 year old, was having issues with reactivity, resource guarding, leash walking and basic obedience. Teresa was firm yet compassionate and was able to give us the tools to help Archie feel secure and confident. Archie has drastically improved his behavioral issues and I strongly recommend Ruff Patriots and Teresa for anyone looking for a dog trainer.”
"I have been using Ruff Patriots to help train my pup. They have been great and their work speaks for itself. They have also been very helpful in teaching me how to continue his training while at home with videos and in person instruction. They also are responsive when we have small issues during the week that we do not know how to handle. I highly recommend Ruff Patriots to anyone in need of dog training."
"When we adopted Cali, I was worried she would never be able to play off-leash with other dogs. There were so many hesitations we had. Ruff Patriots made an entire difference! With their help, Cali made an entire change. They guided my journey with e-collar and I’ve developed an awesome bond with my dog. I trust her to be off-leash and respond to my commands. Aside from teaching my dog good skills, they taught me how to become a better dog owner! ❤️🐾🦴 When I am out of town, they send me updates and pictures of Cali having fun. Highly recommend their services."
