I am a science-based dog trainer and pet care provider located in central Connecticut. I offer a variety of services including dog training, grooming, and dog walking. Overnight care is also available! 

My training methods are completely force-free and I utilize dog psychology via positive reinforcement to achieve long term behavioral changes.

I do not use aversive methods or tools such as prong collars, choke collars, or electric shock collars.

​

Working with animals has been a lifelong passion and I pride myself on not only the strong bond I work to form with each one of my clients, but also my high standards of care.

By choosing Ruff Around the Edges, you can rest assured that your pet will be in the hands of a highly experienced professional who is willing to go the extra mile to make sure they are happy, healthy, and loved.

With private training, you can expect to work with a behaviorist that teaches in a manner that is both approachable and effective and will offer support whenever you need it.
