Private Training Options
Put simply - group classes don't suit everyone or every dog .....
Are you time poor?
Can't make scheduled classes every week?
Not available at certain times due to children's sports or homework or business meetings?
Not comfortable in a group environment?
Would rather involve the whole family in the home environment?
Is your dog too distracted in a class environment to learn?
Just one or two behavioural issues you want or need to focus on?
Know training basics but want some additional skills to help with certain requirements?
Or simply enjoy the one-on-one focus of a private training opportunity?
And, do you want a trainer who is qualified, accredited and experienced to help you get it right the first time?
Thank you so much for getting us on the right track! Our house is now stress-free and we all understand each other so much better. You have been so patient and kind during our crazy times. We don't need to shout or get frustrated to get our message across - our teenage dog was just looking for a little understanding and you were able to interpret her for us and make our home so much happier - we are eternally grateful and Buzzy sends her love and thanks!

Has your dog taken over your home and you need to get back some order? Are your relaxing walks more of a high stress wrestling match?

Are you wanting to have your dog move toward a vocation such as a therapy dog or assistance dog?

MindDog Assistance Dog - Private Training
Ruff House is a preferred Trainer and Assessor for MindDog Australia
“MindDog assists mental health sufferers to procure, train and certify psychiatric service dogs. Many people who live with mental health disorders find the world to be a difficult place. A MindDog can provide practical and emotional support.” – mindDog Australia
“People with depression, anxiety or agoraphobia can find that a MindDog allows them to leave the house, exercise, take their medications on time or something as simple as going to the shops. A MindDog can provide support and comfort during a panic attack or a reality check with Post Traumatic Stress flashbacks.” http://minddog.org.au/
Psychiatric Service Dogs must be thoroughly trained in basic obedience to verbal and/or hand cues (sit, stay, heel, down and come) and pass the Public Access Test. We are able to help MindDog clients work towards gaining these skills and passing the required Public Access Test to gain their assistance dog accreditation.
