Ruff to Ready Behavior Consulting & Dog Training

Learn how to build resiliency within your dog and become a confident team

When facing serious issues with your dog, it can be challenging and confusing to sift through all the advice given online. By working with a specialized behavior consultant, you will get realistic and practical information about your dogs behavior.


What we do


We provide private dog training sessions in your home to help you and your dog with:

  • Dog bite prevention
  • Resource guarding
  • Aggression towards other dogs
  • Aggression towards humans
  • Excessive barking
  • Leash reactivity
  • Multi-dog household conflicts
  • Dog behavior evaluations

What to expect


“How can we build a training plan that will meet your household’s needs for safety, quality of life, and is within your resources?”

  • First, tell Amanda about your top three stressors
  • Second, we will look for stress signals in your dog and practice skills
  • Third, we will recap the consultation and talk about realistic goals
  • Discuss future training within your resources (time, money and environment)

All of this starts by clicking “Book Now” at the bottom of this page.


Looking to book?


We make it easy to book and pay online. The date you choose will be for our first appointment (the assessment). This will take approximately 1.5-2 hours. Your second appointment will be set by us at the end of the first appointment. Because your success is very important to us, we will check in to see how things are going between appointments. The cost, $299.99, covers both appointments.

After 2 appointments, we will discuss a prognosis based on our experience and education. In this team effort, we will discuss how comfortable and confident you feel. Based on our discussion, we will decide together whether you will benefit from more appointments, or if it would be better to have you reach out again as needed.

Availability is limited, as we are only taking a limited number of new clients at this time. While we may not have an immediately available time slot, this is so that we can provide to highest quality work possible. We appreciate your patience.

Prior to booking, we strongly recommend all clients review our Service Policies.
