Meet Our Head Trainer:
Ashley Gibbons
Ashley is our Head Trainer here at Ruffin’ It! She prides herself on using positive reinforcement training methods to build an everlasting bond between you and your best friend. She is always continuing her education by doing online courses and seminars to ensure our clients receive the most up to date and effective training.
Ashley specializes in everything puppy! She is your go to girl for raising a well adjusted, social puppy, who loves to engage with you. She also breeds Golden Retrievers so a lot of her time is spent socializing and training the little ones before they head to their new homes!
She has 3 Golden Retrievers of her own who are the light of her life. Together they compete (and kill it!) in many different dog sports. Their favorites are Rally, Obedience, Agility, Scent Detection, and Conformation. Check out our Facebook page to see all their amazing accomplishments!
You can contact Ashley at ruffinitinfo@gmail.com to learn how she can help you and your pup!
Meet Our Trainer:
Chloe Henderson
Chloe has been a Registered Veterinary Technician since she graduated from Dalhousie University in 2016. She has been working with behavioural cases throughout her career as a vet tech, but she started her dog training journey with us in 2020. In addition to dog training, Chloe also offers Feline Behaviour Services.
Chloe shares her life with 3 cats (Zeppelin, Marley & Churchill) & 2 dogs. Mabel is her senior Husky mix from Labrador, and particularly special to her is Clefford: her “Heinz 57” mutt who came to her as a bottle baby. He has taught her many lessons about dog behaviour & training, working through issues such as anxiety & reactivity. After many years of working to build his confidence, Chloe & Clefford now spend their time together trying out different dog sports, including competing together in Scent Detection & Rally Obedience!
Chloe would love to help you with your dogs and/or cats! She can be reached by email at:
