Do you need Ruff Love?

Is it difficult to motivate your dog to do what you want him to do, when you want him to do it?
Is your dog “too energetic” or “too distracted” to give you his best work?
Is your dog happy to run after squirrels in the back yard, but not willing to run on the agility course?
Is your dog’s recall effective only if there isn’t something more interesting nearby?
Is your dog willing to work only if he sees the bait bag or his favorite toy?
Is your dog “into” toys, but won’t play tug with you?
Is your dog prone to the “zoomies” during an agility run?

If you answered “yes” to any of the questions above, your relationship needs strengthening. The Ruff Love program will help you to achieve just that.
