Ruff Life Dog Training

05/25/2022

One of our favorite fun facts about dogs! 🐾
Have a picky eater? Try meats that tend to have a more potent smell; beef, liver, venison, fish, etc!
Picky about training treats? Look for treats that are soft or jerky type treats as opposed to biscuit ones that don’t have as strong of a smell. 🐾

Animals friends/ pitbull advocates!!!

How much would you pay to be reunited with your dogs? Dogs that have been banned by it seems like, by the whole world.

Let me tell you about Kenzie (pup) and Wendy and Clint. When I first met them it was through Ruff Life about 3 years ago back in Iowa, and they reached out to me for help with Kenzie. She was recently adopted and had out of fear, bitten a neighbor friend, and showed extreme lack of social skills towards people.
When I got to their house, I spent almost 2 hours in a chair not moving, Kenzie was so terrified of any movement or loud noise that she would just pufferfish right up!
Flash forward to multiple sessions, long walks, lots of peanut butter, lots of social field trips, lots of homework for Clint and Wendy- and Kenzie is a brand new dog with very handsome new brother, named Deeks!

She is the gentlest sweetest dog- who has never bothered her two cat siblings even once. Clint and Wendy went above and beyond to follow all the training homework, they took her to Lowes and Home Depot and socialized her and sheltered her with love to build up her confidence and the reason for our first meeting is a thing of the past.

The point is- they took what society calls a "broken" dog, a "damaged" dog. And they "fixed" her. No no, they healed her. With love, positive training, patience and kindness, Kenzie is the happiest little gal in the world and the Fedlers are stepping up and doing it again to take their dogs, through all the hoops, and jumps, along with them to their new home!

So please- donate, share, and/or say a prayer.

This is Kenzi and Deeks. These two incredible creatures have stolen our hearts and changed our lives for the better. So when we decided to answer the call and uproot our lives to move to St. Croix, there was absolutely no question as to whether or not we would bring them with us. The only questio...

This is perfect! Many pet owners don't understand why retractable leashes are actually awful, this article lists multiple reasons and facts as to why they are not an ideal item for your pet. Please read and share with friends and family!

Retractable leashes allow dogs more freedom to sniff and poke around on walks, but there are many downsides to this type of leash.

A little bit of a lengthy read but definitely worth it!!! Goes into detail on how to integrate training into your every day life! Remember it's your responsibility to make your pet a respectable member of society who does NOT jump on small children in stores and try to eat their cupcakes..... And yes.. I witnessed that today!

Dogs have been our companions for millennia, but they aren't born with the ability to cohabitate. It takes time to teach dogs properly.

EVERYONE L👀K at this!! Excellent example of perfect dog body language!!! Look at how the schnauzer who is bigger, does the play bow over and over to show he's friendly and non threatening.. Look at the tails wagging, pay attention to how both dogs avoid direct eye contact with each other, and you get what some people call the side eye or whale eye- everything about this video exhibits perfect dog play body language... Excellent video

Meet Benny! Mr. Benny boy is our current foster and he is looking for his he was guessed to be about 5-6 years old, is neutered and up to date on all his shots. He is the sweetest boy you will ever meet and was saved from the euthanasia list! He was found as a stray walking around with wounds all over his body, and was in the shelter for 3 months before we saved him! He was most likely used as a bait dog of sorts due to the scars and wounds all over him. He doesn't let that stop him from loving! He's very gentle, and has had zero issues with any other dogs even when small dogs have tried to attack him! He stays very calm- he would do best in a home with bigger dogs however so that he can play and wrestle with them. He needs some dogs to show him how to be a dog and play with toys and have fun! His main focus right now is food and cuddles!!! Please help us find him his perfect home because he truly deserves it! Please email anelsontraining gmail.com for inquires!!
