Choose the Training That's Right for You & Your Pup!

From one-on-one private sessions at your home or our location, to a variety of group classes in our newly constructed Asheville facility, to rooming at Ruff Life—we offer a full range of training structures to teach however you and your pup learn best. And if you're not sure, we're happy to discuss your options to help you determine how your dog is most likely to thrive.

Private Training

We can come to you (throughout much of Western North Carolina), or you can come to us! We'll conduct an in-depth assessment of your dog's behavior and develop a customized training program based on their needs.  We'll also give you the practice and knowledge you need to continue progress on your own.

Group Classes

We offer class start dates throughout the year for puppies, beginners, and more advanced obedience levels. Learn foundational skills, leash walking, recall, public behavior, house manners, and more. Explore our menu of offerings to discover the class that fits your specific needs.

Drop-Off Training

This program is great for busy pet parents! Drop your fur baby off at school, and we'll teach them new skills and commands. Choose from six different educational tracks based on your goals and any challenges you'd like to overcome. Every program includes socialization opportunities.

Board & Train

If your dog requires a more intensive program, they can stay with us in a comfortable home environment for a fully immersive experience focused on your specific goals. Whether you need to jump start your dog's obedience, housebreak a puppy, or modify aggressive behavior, we'll work closely with your dog for two weeks or more.
