Having the folks at Ruff Timez take care of our pups while we travel is such a pleasure.  We can leave home confident they are well cared for and the pups really love them!

Mavia is amazing! She is so knowledgeable, empathetic and works with us where we’re at with our dog and his needs. I know with her guidance we will reach the goals we have for our boy. So very thankful we found Ruff Timez! 

We have three dogs.  One being a new puppy.  We are having issues getting the older dogs to take to the puppy.  Mavia came in with her expertise and got our dogs to socialize and start a better relationship.  I am so excited and grateful.

Compassionate and competent care for my anxious companion. We will be repeat customers.

What a wealth of helpful information on initial visit. I look forward to working with you and your crew

Amazing! My favorite trainers. They really know their stuff. Skippy is improving on her walks. We are still working with her but skippy
Loves to go to training. The trainers are very kind and know a lot about animal behaviors. I have gone to a few other trainers in the past and this is by far the best. 

I had a consultation today with Mavia and Jeremy regarding cat care and was very pleased with their caring attitude and professionalism.  I was relieved they understood my pet care needs without needing to spell it out for them. Their assurances of commitment and backups meant a great deal as I am going through a difficult health issue. I am very grateful and look forward to working with them 

Mavia was pawsome.  She was on time and got right to work with our puppy,  (with us).  She helped us understand our pups cues and method of communication so that we can meet her needs and help her understand acceptable behaviors.  We feel empowered and look forward to our next lesson.  

Mavia exceeded our expectations and we couldn’t recommend her more highly. We will be utilizing her expertise for years to come. 10/10

Very good initial lesson…key points to work on…easy on the dog…if time, will certainly do additional lessons

Khuri had a great time at his play time, and looks great after his bath and pedicure. 


Appreciated the wealth of information received from Mavia, and her patience with our new rescue dog. We look forward to her continued assistance and guidance. 

Always appreciate Mavia’s guidance and tips on handling our big puppy. She is always very patient and clear on instructions on what to do in every situation.  

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.                   

Mavia is the absolute best!
My dog loves her and she teaches us important things about how to relate with our high energy dog !

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. 

Mavia is wonderful, we are so excited to begin our puppy training with her. She is so informative and knowledgeable. She included our whole family in training him and took fhe time to ensure we each understood. We love her training style and am excited for our next session. So is our puppy, he loved her! 

Very educational and helpful in understanding our little dog. Amazing quantity and quality of information provided. Mavia clearly understood our dog’s personality and quickly put into action ways to encourage behavioral changes 

you guys take such good care of my 2 doggies...  One 2 year  mini Aussie  and one old Jack Russel..    At this point you are just like family.. when i leave town for work or vacation it was always a stress.. that is not the case now for me.... And the puppies come home like they just had the best time,,, so thank you for what oyu do...  Signed lucy and poppy

We did the consultation and it went great, looking forward to the full coarse to help my Sassy not be reactive

From the moment that Mavia barely had 2 feet in the doorway, she was fabulous. She obviously knows how to train our pup..& us, too. She is extremely knowledgeable. 
We will work on our homework. 😁

Mavia is an incredible trainer. She has a wealth of knowledge and experience that has helped us so much! Cannot say enough good things about her and how much she has helped our family to assimilate a new puppy into our world.

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

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!

My first session with Mavia was wonderful.  I feel like I am well on my way to getting my boy relaxed and calm.

Chantel and Mavia are amazing! They have been taking care of our Maltipoos for a few years. The boys love them! Chantel and Mavia are professional, kind, and trustworthy. It’s clear they love dogs and are amazing at what they do! Can’t say enough good things. 

Mavia and Chantelle are both amazing with our fur babies. One of our dogs is extremely anxious and can get aggressive with people but the two of them are wonderful with all 3 of our dogs and manage them well.  They are the only 2 that I trust to take care of our pets whenever we leave town. 

The trainer was very knowledgeable and accomplished that I had hoped to accomplish in a week she was able to do in a day

We’ve had just two training sessions with Ruff Times Dog Training, and I’m already blown away by the progress! Mavia is not only incredibly knowledgeable but also warm, endearing, and truly gifted as a trainer. We recently adopted a 1-year-old Shepherd/Husky mix who likely spent most of her life in a kennel. She came to us shy but clearly very smart, and I knew working with her would be a challenge. Thanks to Mavia's guidance, our pup already responds to several commands. Highly recommend!

Excellent training and is so good with my antsy behavior-challenged dog. Mavia is the best. 

Chantel took great care of Piper. She made sure Piper was comfortable and familiar with her before taking her on walks with the harness. She played with her and sent daily pictures or a video. We are so grateful for Chantel. 

This is are first class with Mavia and it was very helpful in understanding the workings of my dog’s brain. Looking forward to our next session 

Excellent first training session.  Full of really helpful information.  I can tell Mavia has had a lot of experience and knows dog behavior well.  She was patient, non-judgemental and methodical with the information she provided. Booking my next session!

The best place away from home!!  Don’t tell my mom, because sometimes I have more fun here! Playtime with doggie friends and humans who give cuddle time and ensure all my needs are met.  I pose for daily pics sent to mom and come home happy and healthy!! 

Amazing, absolutely amazing. Knowledgeable, confident, and assertive with the dogs. Everything I would want in a dog trainer was exemplified in this lesson.

Ruff Timez has been part of my dog’s learning and socialization experience since he was just a few months old! We have done training sessions, socialization play, daycare, and boarding, and highly recommend all of their services. Mavia is a caring, super responsive, engaging and knowledgeable trainer, and we’ve been able to work on reinforcing those tools during daycare and boarding stays with Chantel.  Thank you so much to the Ruff Timez team for all of the attention and care for my Shadow 

We've been working with Mavia at Ruff Timez since our puppy came home at 12 weeks for both training and dog sitting. We feel like we hit the jackpot. Mavia is skilled, kind and direct. Our dog Jade LOVES her and gets excited for every lesson and sleep over. As first time pet owners, we've learned so much from Mavia. When we encounter an unexpected "problem" behavior,  Mavia knows what's up right away and has clear, specific strategies to help get us back on track. Highly recommended. 

That was the most informative meeting I have had with someone. Mavia was on time she made sure we all had a thorough understanding of our dogs and their behaviors and communication. She gave us excellent home work. She is accessible responsive and very detailed  with your pets. I would recommend her to all people looking for dog training !

Mavia & Chantel are wonderful. Our fur boys are always excited to arrive @ Ruff Timez! We enjoy our time away, knowing our boys are in good hands, having a good time with fur friends and caring people. Thanks again!!!

I highly recommend Mavia for training. She is very knowledgeable in dog behavior and has helped me tremendously. She is patient and clear with her instructions. I keep having her come back because I see results!

Mavia is Marvelous!!!

We feel very hopeful that Mavia’s design of training will give us the tools to help Ziggy be the best he can be!  We look forward to future sessions to help reach our goals!

Thank You Kindly
Jacalyn :)

Mavia is the best. She’s so knowledgeable and patient. I can’t wait for our next lesson. 

My dog loves coming here! Always recommend to my friends and family.

Chantal  did Avery good job .  My animal were well taken care of.  In addition, she stayed an extra night when we were stranded in Miami.

Thanks!

Mavia, 

Is an amazing trainer. She is knowledgeable and trains us to train our fur baby. I can’t recommend her enough. Worth every penny. 

Mavia is the best! I learned that my rescue dog becomes fear aggressive around grooming implements and receiving medications. And she is a very picky eater. Mavia is a positive trainer! She walked me thru several exercises to do with my dog, coached me on how and when to do the exercises to desensitize my dog over time to its feared implements (yes, there is hope!), and helped me with dog food solutions. Mavia has astounding, uncommon dog wisdom. 

It was so wonderful, informative and really taught us a lot on how a dog perceives our actions and appropriate commands to use.

Had the trainers stop by to allow my 2 dogs out to play while I was on a short trip... As always, they showed up on time.   They care for your dogs like they are their own.  The dogs love their time with them....And O was able to enjoy my 1/2 trip and my 2 puppies had some fun also... They are very professional and we will use them again soon.. 

Thank you for helping with our new dog. We learned so much from you already. 

We have seen many trainers before and most of them just put a prong on our dog and correct him. Mavia, on the other hand, had a reward system and force-free approach with our dog. She told us our dog is fearful reactive and gave us really good tips, advice, and homework on how to work with him. We learned so many things in just our consultation and she respected our dog’s boundaries the whole time. We loved her methods and we are looking forward to our training sessions!

 I have used Ruff Timez for boarding, daycare, training, and grooming.  My dog loves to go to Ruff Timez and is sad when I come to bring him home!  Mavia uses positive reinforcement training which I think is the best approach to training dogs.  I look forward to group training resuming in Fair Oaks.

Mavia with Ruff Timez is amazing…. She spent as much time training and educating my humans as she did working with me  (Dexter) to help them better understand why I do what I do.  I also love to come visit when my humans go out of town for the weekend - they always say I come back a better dog.

Thanks Mavia!

Exceptional all around, especially training. Other services are top notch too.  Training and caring for dogs is a passion for Mavia, who is  very skilled and naturally gifted in understanding and working with a wide variety of behaviors. She has done wonders for my rescue dog, helping her to gain confidence toward overcoming fears and me to learn how to best work with my girl. Mavia excels at training, addressing behavior issues, and strengthening the bond between dog and human. A++ Service.

10/10. Mavia is amazing with my dog, Chaka. She is kind, but also firm. We have done several training sessions and we have also done pet sitting. The experience with the pet sitting made Chaka’s interactions with my other dogs much more pleasant. We plan to continue working with Mavia and her team.

Excellent knowledge and advice during consultation. Looking forward to my first training!

Excellent knowledge and technique.  I am very happy to have found you.

She is very confindent, and knowledgeable - looking forward to working with her more

Mavia was a great evaluator! She gave helpful tips and explained the process very well.

Can’t say enough about the professionalism and attention to detail regarding the care of my pets and home.  I can rest assured that my pets are being cared for as I care for them. Communication is excellent complete with  pictures and answering any questions I might have. Thank you Mavia  for your expertise!  

Mavia is personable, professional and has a wealth of knowledge. My husband and I adopted a 3yr. old rescue dog (James) with significant trauma history and extreme anxiety. Mavia educated us on the functions of James’ behaviors and provided us with specific interventions and tools for use to effectively manage his engaged behaviors. We don’t know where we would be without Mavia and Ruff Timez team. We cannot thank Mavia and the Ruff Timez enough. I highly recommend Mavia and the Ruff Timez team

Mavia and Chantel are my go-to people for everything dog.   From basic training, to dog sitting, to advanced training dealing with dog aggression issues.   I fully trust our fur babies with them.   

Mavia is a true godsend! She really understands dog behaviors & each solution she's taught us has been highly effective. We are absolutely amazed in the changes we are already experiencing with our pup. Looking forward to our continued training sessions & the pet sitting she offers to help our boy to overcome his separation anxiety.

Always a great experience! Highly recommend for both dog sitting and training!

Fantastic trainers! Mavia and Chantel have helped me and my husband for over two years have a better relationship with our 5 year old rescue German Shepherd. She is turning out to be a great dog thanks to all their positive work with her and us! Can’t recommend enough!!!!

Mavia helped us with training catered specifically to our family’s abilities and needs for our reactive, anxious dog. She also offers amazing care with pet sitting and overnight stays. We feel so at ease when our dog is in her presence. She is a professional and extremely knowledgeable! Could not recommend more! The best 

Chantel and Mavia are incredible. They take such good care of our boys!

Mavia is the best, the last hour we spent together was amazing! Really looking forward to Continueing our training, both mine and Harley’s. 

Chantel was great! She kept us up to date, and took great care of our fur baby. We will using the service again.

We are so happy that Mavia is our trainer. We've had a few sessions with Mavia now and have learned a lot. I have 3 Shiba Inus. They are a difficult and stubborn breed to train and are very apprehensive of new people, but they just love Mavia and listen so well to her. Mavia is very easy to get ahold of, her prices are affordable (& totally worth it!), and she offers so many tips and tricks that we can use daily to manage the Shibas' behavioral issues. Thank you, Mavia!

Mavia is absolutely amazing. She is extremely knowledgeable about dog behavior. I had many questions and she had a clear direct answer for every single one of them! It's obvious she genuinely wants to see you and your dog understand each other. She goes over the steps but also the WHY so you can better understand how the method will work when it comes to the dogs emotional state and adjust. From resource guarding to teeth brushing she had a strategy for everything. I can't recommend her enough!

I’ve worked with Ruff Timez for over three years and would recommend them to anyone looking for help with their dog! 

I always have such peace of mind when Mavia or Chantel are with my pets and I have no worries.
They do a great job  Pet sitting and hanging out with my fur babies when I’m away.
