Ejay and his team were great with me and my spirited-mutt-turned-service-dog. Training is not something that comes naturally to me and they really held my hand through the entire process. We were never forced to use any training methods that I was uncomfortable with, and my pup is happy as ever to be working with me now!

Ejay and his team are amazing. He knows ‘everything dog’. RT trained my daughter and her service dog Mabel to give her the confidence and independence she needed to navigate life! She just finished her first year of college on the Deans list both semesters! We owe these successes to her hard work, the perfect dog that Ejay personally chose for her and this special talented caring team of trainers! ❤️

Absolutely, wonderful dog trainers! They are truly exceptional at what they do. They are able to adapt to any needs of the client and the needs the dog with patience, creativity, and expertise. I always recommend people to take their dogs for behavior intervention or for service dog training needs to these folks. Here are some photos of my adorable pup loving his school and trainers..

The entire team at Ruff Translating are beyond incredible. They really are “fluent in dog.” When I started my service dog training journey, I was completely overwhelmed and wondering what I’d gotten myself into. At no point will I pretend that training your own service dog is an easy undertaking. It takes consistency, persistence, and the ability to take constructive advice from people who know what they’re doing. In the year that I’ve worked with Ruff Translating, Apollo has completely transformed. I never imagined that we’d ever get to where we are now as a team. Ejay, Kim, and Michelle put so much time and effort into personalizing training plans for every individual team. The weekly report cards and homework are the perfect framework that I needed to get to where Apollo and I are now. I thoroughly appreciate the direct communication, and clearly outlined expectations for handlers and dogs alike, as it’s made navigating this process of owner training so much more manageable! These wonderful humans truly care about each and every one of the teams that walk through their doors. I’ll continue to recommend them to anyone and everyone who stops to compliment me on how incredible Apo

Working with the whole team at Ruff Translating has been an invaluable experience for me and my dog. I am so thankful to work with their trainer Cara, who has helped me learn about my dog, learn how to feel comfortable managing him and his difficult behavior challenges, and build up an amazing bond with him. My dog Luke is dog and people reactive, and Cara has continued to work with us to help Luke with his reactivity. She has always explained every step of the training we do so I have felt comfortable. We can now go on walks and understand how to read his behavior and have a successful walk, thanks to the direction and dedication of the whole training team at Ruff Translating. We also utilize their adventure club service, where Luke gets to go out on hikes with experienced handlers who understand his special struggles. This service is so helpful for my pup to go out into the world with dogs, with the supervision of a handler who can advocate for his needs. I trust every handler and Luke loves them too. Luke also attends muttessori academy, a structured training day school, where the work we learn at private trainings gets reinforced and then some. Luke loves the entire staff at
