It's a Ruff Life Board and Train 

It's a Ruff Life country acreage is situated on 5 acres with a large fresh water pond. There is lots of room for dogs to run together or separately. We have a country kennel with indoor and outdoor runs surrounded by commercial grade 8 ft high chain link. Each indoor space is built with natural fir floors and has a dog house to ensure your beasts are comfy and warm. All dogs sleep inside the home at night for their comfort as well as our neighbours.
We will accommodate only 2 dogs at one time for Board and Train to ensure each dog receives enough attention.
​We will happily feed raw or dry food and we will pick up or drop off your dog within a 50km radius for all board and train programs over 2 weeks. All dogs must be crated in the vehicle for their safety and ours.

Testimonials

*** I highly recommend Christine Kisser if you need any training help with your dog. My malinois at 8 months of age started to demonstrate aggression, and we struggled to control him. After being turned away by other trainers, who felt they could not handle our dog, we were so lucky to find Christine. She is knowledgeable, energetic, and passionate about getting results. Her methods work, and with her guidance we have achieved incredible positive changes.

**I was referred to Christine by the Head Trainer at a well-known local training centre. I had been priming my male Rottweiler since 8 weeks old to do competitive obedience. Although he is not my first high caliber breed he has been my most challenging dog yet. My quiet fun loving puppy quickly grew into a difficult, and strong unsure dominant dog. 
Christine was able to quickly identify key relationship issues and came up with a strategic plan to work on my handling skills for the home and in competitive obedience. I’ve worked with my fair share of trainers and Christine has by far been the clearest in communication. Her ability to relay her thought process and execution of the plan is easy to understand. I was happy to discover not only was she aware of my state of mind but also my dog’s. 
Just before working with Christine my dog had to be pulled out of obedience classes because of bad behavior that was escalating very quickly. At home living in suburbia I had to resort to walking him at ridiculous hours in the morning and at night to avoid people and dogs. After the first session I was amazed how much I learned about myself and my dog. I am VERY HAPPY to say today that Ru is one of the best dogs I’ve had, our relationship is clear and happy. I no longer have to walk him in secret and avoid the rest of the world.

I have been working with Christine on a weekly basis for over a year and have seen tremendous improvements in my dog.  I look forward to working with her further.
 
I would strongly recommend her to anyone looking for a patient, articulate, hardworking and highly skilled trainer.
