Helping Owners & Dogs Build the Best Life—Together.
Welcome to Ruff Rules
Your dog's best life starts here
Train with Purpose. Live with Freedom.
We believe a well-trained dog isn’t just about obedience—it’s about freedom, trust, and a strong relationship between you and your dog. At Ruff Rules, we help struggling owners turn frustration into confidence through clear communication, structure, and real-world training that actually works.
If your dog is pulling on leash, ignoring you, or showing bigger behavioral issues like reactivity or anxiety, we’ll show you what to do, why it works, and how to create lasting change. Because when you put in the work, there’s nothing you and your dog can’t do together.
What makes training with us unique
Based in the heart of Fort Lauderdale, we offer more than just training- we give your dog real-world training in the places you actually want to take them. From busy downtown streets, to local restaurants, cozy coffee shops and off leash adventures at our parks and beaches, our training ensures your dog to be prepared to go anywhere and do anything with you-calm, confident and under control.
