“Mavia and her staff are extremely supportive and friendly. I boarded my puppy with her in July for a month. For that month of boarding, Mavia did a lot of training with my puppy. We just did a meet and greet with our two other dogs because we plan on boarding all three of our dogs over the holiday time. They did great and I would recommend Ruff Timez Academy to anyone for boarding or training or both.”

“I cannot recommend Ruff Timez Dog Training enough – they are absolutely pawsome! We recently entrusted our two adorable puppies, Rice and Beans, to their overnight boarding for a full 6 nights while we were away on a family trip. From the moment we dropped them off, the team made us feel completely at ease with their warm, professional vibe and genuine love for dogs. What really blew us away was the daily updates – every single day, we received the cutest pictures and videos. ”

“We have used Ruff Timez for both training and pet sitting while on vacation. I have learned so much from Mavia. She is a wealth of knowledge re: training and dog behavior. On our recent a recent trip, they quickly noted signs of a possible uti. Unable to reach us, they contacted our adult daughter and took our dog to our local vet for treatment. I have peace of mind and know our dogs are happy and very well cared for. I am truly grateful I found Mavia and Chantel. ”

“I'm very impressed with Mavia and how well she handles me and my dog. I've seen progress after just 2 lessons!”

Maya

“Mavia is an outstanding dog behaviorist/trainer and committed dog advocate. We have two rescue dogs, a deaf four year old and a shy, lacking confidence one year old (weighing in at 75 lbs!). We’ve encountered significant challenges with both dogs that at times have led me to question the fit of the dogs in our home. The information, direction, and support Mavia provides ensures ongoing love, fun, and safety of these beloved pets in our home. Thank you, Mavia!”
