Our Mission

We are here to provide training and support to dogs during all stages of life as well as to their owners in need. We never want a pet owner to surrender their dog out of frustration. Instead, we want to help shelter dogs seamlessly adjust to their new or current families, as well as helping puppy parents to overcome those crazy, not-so-cute puppy problems.

DOGS BELONG IN FOREVER HOMES, NOT SHELTERS

Founded by owner and mobile dog trainer Mavia Doyle in 2020, Ruff Timez Dog Training Academy serves local pet owners. She launched the company after graduating from Animal Behavior College (ABC) and becoming certified as a professional dog trainer and behaviorist.

QUOTE FROM  MAVIA DOYLE

“Dogs are and always have been my passion. I started dog training because I originally wanted to help my friends and family solve their dogs "bad" behavior. After becoming certified through ABC, I learned why dogs behave or react the way they do."

"Likewise, I learned how to communicate with them by modifying their behavior to a preferred one instead of resorting to physical punishment. Similar to small children, dogs learn through association. Being a patient, consistent leader allows you to communicate effectively with your beloved pet.”

Is a Happy Dog 

Dogs feed off our emotions. With such a sense of empathy, more acute than most of us can imagine, dogs know when we’re happy, sad, or upset. These emotions affect the way dogs and puppies behave. Make sure your pup receives the training crucial to dealing with all this and acquiring the behavior you desire. 

Training requires 5 components to be successful Consistency, Patience, Focus, Time, and lastly, dogs of all ages also need FUN!
