CONFIDENCE, INDEPENDENCE AND SAFETY since 1999

Please check back often as we are continually adding to our website. Thank you for visiting. Looking forward to assisting you!

We provide an Owner-Assisted Program:

For those whom have any medical*, mobility issue and dual mobility who wish to be involved in training a dog for use as a Certified Medical Dog, we provide specialized, custom-designed training programs to meet your needs. Our experienced Medical Dog trainers are very well versed in a wide range of conditions and their effects on people’s lives. They will help design a program to help you get your dog to perform as desired. Don’t have a dog yet no sweat we’ll help you find one.

*Except PSYCHOLOGICAL unless caused by physical mobility issues

We are a not-for-profit servicing all of Canada and the United States. Providing both in-home and in-public area service.

How we are different!

Our facility provides a minimum of 8 months of training for a prospective dog which involves the following:

A. exposure to situations in the field, including street traffic, public transportation and the negotiation of stationary and moving obstacles and barriers, and wide range of unexpected situation that you as a team may come across.

B. a minimum of 8 months of training with a dog user to ensure success of the team,

C. the dog must demonstrate advanced basic obedience skills with and without a leash, hand or other signals including voice commands.

Our research showed that experienced service dog trainers only have a poor 1 in 8 success rate with dogs not specifically bred for the work, even experienced dog trainers (not experienced with training service dogs specifically) have an even lower rate. Inexperienced trainers have about one chance in a hundred of succeeding. This is simply unacceptable to us! We are different! Our dogs are not called service dogs they are called MEDICAL DOGS because they are superior!!

We excel with a 100% success rate, yes we said 100%, with any dog that starts the program finishes it a Medical Dog. Our Experienced Medical Dog Trainers have only ever worked with dogs not bred specifically for the purpose since 1999.

Why do we succeed every time where others don’t you ask? We know how to read a dog accurately. We work with each individual dog, setting up a unique program just for that animals needs for successful learning combining it with the client’s individual learning style and their needs in a medical. You now have an exceptionally well trained Medical Dog Team from DIAMOND IN THE RUFF! You get what you pay for and you only need one dog to do the exact job and then some so why waste time and money going to the wrong agency. Hoping to get something for nothing! Not getting everything you want in a dog. Why settle for less??? WE DON’T so why should YOU??

What we offer

no wait list. We assist young and old alike. THE HIGHEST STANDARDS IN MEDICAL DOG TRAINING. We train for safety first of both the dog and client. Intelligent disobedience yes our finished dogs are very reliable in this. Our fees are reasonable charging the same as a private basic obedience session. You get service dog skills, removal of behavioral issues and PUBLIC ACCESS CONFIDENCE too!

A MEDICAL DOG is a huge commitment of time (6-10 months of weekly training sessions) and money that will in the end last you anywhere from 8-10 years depending on the breed of dog chosen and the age at the start of training. We know finding the money is tough but what else can you get for under $1,000 a year that is always there for you 24/7? NOTHING.

Although we are a not-for-profit, we do not offer our services for free. We have kept our prices as low as possible due to the fact that we do meet you in public venues to do the training and in your home if appropriate due to distance. It is expensive to offer this type of service and time consuming on our end.
