Located in the heart of East Yorkshire. At Ruskies, we’re all about helping dogs and owners build real connections. Our sessions are relaxed, supportive, and focused on teaching skills that matter in everyday life.
Whether in a group, online, one-to-one, or Board and Train, we’re here to guide you and your dog on your training journey.


Day schooling provides short-term, intensive support for you and your dog when certain skills or behaviours are proving tricky at home. Your dog spends the day with me working on foundation behaviours, calmness, focus, and public access readiness, while you receive guidance and coaching to continue progress at home. This is a supportive, hands-on way to help your team succeed without removing the handler’s role

Residential stays offer short-term, intensive training and support for dogs and handlers who need extra help building foundation skills. Your dog stays in a calm, structured environment, working on behaviours like calmness, focus, and public access foundations, while you receive guidance and handover sessions to continue training at home. These stays are designed to support, not replace, your role, ensuring your team progresses safely and confidently.

My 1-to-1 sessions offer personalised, gentle support tailored to you, your dog, and your individual needs. These sessions move at your pace, focusing on what will help you most right now — whether that’s foundations, confidence, calmness, or specific assistance skills. I understand how challenging daily life can be, so sessions are designed to be supportive, flexible, and realistic, helping you and your dog build skills together without pressure.

Online Academy and Training sessions let you train from home with clear guidance, tailored support, and ongoing feedback.

Choosing the right puppy is one of the most important steps. I provide guidance to help you find a dog with the right temperament, energy, and suitability for your needs, including advice on ethical breeders and red flags to avoid. This support helps ensure your dog has the best chance of success, reduces future training challenges, and sets your team up for a happy, long-term partnership.
