Working with See Spot Run has been an amazing experience for us. After adopting a dog who had more behavior issues than we realized, or were prepared for, we started private sessions with Ruth. We have learned so much about training and enrichment from Ruth and Coralyn that our dog's behavior issues have improved significantly. We can't wait to keep the training going to help our dog become the best version of herself.

There are not enough stars in the world for how amazing See Spot Run is! We have known Ruth almost since the beginning. We had a very rambunctious, silly Vizsla 17 years ago and Ruth knew exactly how to work with him - she helped us train him to become the most loyal, well-mannered four-legged companion that there is. Ruth has also helped us out more recently with a difficult situation with one of our dogs, and she has met us every step of the way with wisdom and compassion. Your search for training, day care and boarding will stop with See Spot Run once you meet Ruth and her staff.

Ruth is the Owner of See Spot Run, and I highly recommend her - even this is an understatement. I've worked with Taylor too, and she is great. Dog training is Ruth's life. She understands dogs and dog behavior. It shows in every session. She is straightforward and honest, so she won't waste your time or money. I came to her with a very difficult problem: dog-on-dog resource guarding.
My sweet Schnauzer mix did NOT like when I brought home a new dog. He would growl, show his teeth, and snap at the new dog. My Schnauzer mix was very jealous when I would pet or brush the new dog. When the two dogs got into a spat, barking, growling, and snapping at each other, over a tennis ball, I knew I had to do something ASAP. So, I called Ruth immediately! BTW - She is very responsive.
She told me that dog-on-dog issues are difficult, and my best bet was to prevent the situation from occurring in the first place. After telling her more about the situation, she agreed to do a session with me, but told me not to get my hopes up. She asked a lot of questions, for example, she wanted to know the layout of my house. This is because she wanted to know that I could go home and recreate the exercises shown in the session.
During the session, I brought both dogs in, and she showed me three exercises. They were easy to recreate at home without having to buy any new equipment. All I needed were treats and a leash. I went home, and I did the exercises just like we practiced, and WITHIN A WEEK my Schnauzer mix was CUDDLING up to the new dog. I could not believe my eyes! Ruth will not admit it, but SHE WORKS MIRACLES! She solved my problem in ONE SESSION! I am glad I caught this early and got professional help! Best case scenario. THANK YOU RUTH!

I cannot speak highly enough of Ruth and SeeSpotRun. Long story short: my partner and I took in a dog that was an abandoned puppy and needed serious help. Knowing this was beyond us, we took her to SeeSpotRun on a whim and placed her into a two-week boarding and training program. I was not expecting a miracle to happen, nor should anyone when it comes to training, but the dog we got back was infinitely better.
The pup responded to us in ways that I know would not have been achievable without professional help. The amount of effort and care that Ruth, the owner/head trainer, puts into dog training is seriously incredible.

Great training facility! The people that work there love your dog as much as you would want someone to love them. They work very hard to the best for your pet and whatever training needs they may need. The results are astounding! They offer discounts for when u want or may need a refresher course. They a los have boarding options as well that are competitive in pricing. You won't be disappointed with the care and service they provide.
