Ruff Life Dog Training Services

We’ve been helping dogs & their people live happier lives together in the Asheville area since 2018! Founded & led by renowned trainer, Tessa Sternbach, Ruff Life delivers the knowledge, practice & confidence needed for you & your canine companion to develop deep trust & enjoy a harmonious relationship.

Training formats include basic and advanced group classes, private sessions (at your home or our facility), full- or half-day drop-off training, and board and train. We also offer educational seminars for doggie parents, bonding events that sharpen your dog’s skills, fun socialization opportunities & adoption support for dogs seeking their furever homes. Everything we do is designed to enhance the well-being and quality of life for dogs & their people.

No matter what your dog’s obedience level or behavioral issues, we are eager to welcome you and enable you to learn and improve as a team. Join us & embrace the Ruff Life—that mutual state of joy created by the love shared between you & your dog!
