Frequently asked questions

It all began with a simple idea fuelled by a deep passion for dogs and their owners. As a Merbein-based small business, Ruff Company prides itself on personal attention and dedication to every detail. Our approach is rooted in quality and integrity, ensuring that everything we do reflects our commitment to excellence and helping your dog become a reliable companion.

What type of training do you use?

How do I stop my dog from pulling on the leash?
Once we understand what is frustrating your dog, we can quickly resolve leash pulling. Our one-on-one sessions focus on identifying the root cause and implementing effective solutions for a more enjoyable walk.
