ABOUT
Ruff Patriots was founded by Teresa Anderson, a U.S. Navy Nuclear Surface Warfare Officer and professional dog trainer dedicated to helping dogs and owners succeed together. What began as dog sitting quickly grew into a passion for canine behavior, training, and reliable care—after seeing firsthand how many families lacked trustworthy training options.
With the support of her husband, Jeremy, Teresa built Ruff Patriots on one core belief: there are no bad dogs—only dogs waiting for the right guidance. Her training approach blends compassion, structure, and real-world experience, including hands-on work with her working-line German Shepherd in scent detection and trailing.
Serving the DMV region, Ruff Patriots delivers disciplined, ethical training that builds confident dogs and lasting partnerships.
TRAINING SERVICES
PUPPY TRAINING
Our Puppy Training Program is thoughtfully designed to guide your puppy through the most important early stages of development. Using patience, structure, and positive reinforcement, we help build strong foundations in obedience, confidence, and healthy behavior from the very beginning.
LESSONS
Our Obedience Courses focus on teaching essential commands—sit, stay, come, and heel—while improving leash manners, off-leash reliability, and overall responsiveness. With structured guidance and clear communication, we address common behavioral challenges and help your dog develop calm, reliable behavior in real-world environments. Whether you’re starting from the basics or strengthening existing skills, our obedience training sets the standard for lasting results.
BOARD AND TRAIN
Our Boarding Program is available exclusively to existing clients who have completed one of our training programs and continue to maintain training standards at home. This ensures a safe, structured environment where expectations remain consistent, and your dog’s training is reinforced—not undone.
