Bring Out The Very Best In Your Dog

Game-Based Dog Training, now at Imperial Animal Hospital

We’re here to help you tackle your pup’s troublesome behaviors. Is your dog pulling on leash, barking, jumping on people, not coming when called? We will show you how to create a calm, enjoyable dog and establish positive habits that will last a lifetime!

Why Planet Ruff?

At Planet Ruff we turn training into a game. Certified trainer Karrie Schwan uses positive, science-backed games to teach real-world manners—so walks are calmer, greetings are polite, and recall is rock-solid. No intimidation, no endless drills; just play, learn, repeat.
