Oscar has worked with our dog on two occasions and I can already see positive changes. He’s given us great advice and works with us to get the most out of training. I would definitely recommend Ruff Tales to anyone looking for training.

We called Oscar in a panic because we rescued a Pit Bull pup who attached our other dogs. To avoid a violent fight we had to keep them always separated. We called Oscar on a Sunday and he responded within an hour. He told us not to panic, to keep the dogs safe and he’s be here the next day. He walked in with such confidence and compassion both dogs immediately responded to his directions. Within a few hours they calmed down and within days they were friends. Oscar gave us the tools to continue training the dogs in his absence. We will always be grateful to him for his prompt attendance to our needs.

Oscar has been a huge blessing for our family. Our 50lb mixed breed girl needed intense training to learn how to interact with a new puppy we brought home. She stayed with Oscar for 3 weeks and it is a night and day difference. Her aggression is gone, her responsiveness to commands and ability to listen is so impressive. I would recommend Oscar to anyone that needs any sort of training. When we were missing her, Oscar sent us pictures and kept us updated with how training was going. He is WONDERFUL!
