CLIENT TESTIMONIALS

It never fails; I walk in a room and all eyes are on him, Taser, my Service Dog.  Ever faithful and vigilant always there at my side to assist me.

I found Taser online in a rural shelter, he was scheduled for euthanasia due to his fear aggression, deemed unadoptable.  In actuality he was just a big baby who had been severely abused and in need of some tender loving care, and some manners.  I quickly learned through Diamond in the Ruff Medical Dogs Owner Assisted Training Program that any dog can be a service dog and although unsure at first Taser blossomed into a wonderful and obedient working dog.  Extremely intelligent and eager to not only learn but eager to please.  Training Taser myself with lessons through Diamond in the Ruff Medical Dogs Owner Assisted Training Program has allowed Taser and I to build a bond that no other program would have allowed.

And, no other program would have even have considered Taser as a candidate.  I have never met a more dedicated Service Dog, let alone a dog that works as hard as Taser to overcome his fears to benefit our working relationship.

I truly believe we saved each other.  Diamond in the Ruff Medical Dogs and I gave Taser a Second Chance at life and Taser does everything in his power now to assist and work with me.  I now have freedom, and Taser gave me that freedom!

My life has been greatly impacted by Diamond in the Ruff Medical Dogs and their assessment of Taser for me.  They knew I wanted this type of Mutt and to adopt a shelter dog, and they made that happen.  And Diamond in the Ruff Medical Dogs saved two lives in the process.

Thank you, and God Bless...

I was injured in a car accident which left me with several physical limitations. I wanted to stay mobile and knew I had to fight for it. I contacted DITRMD I figured that maybe they would help me find a dog suitable to help me and they did. Sammy is great!

He helps me feel whole again. I too was turned down by all the agencies down there. I wasn’t disabled enough. Ya right, how bad do you have to be. I have major walking issues, balance issues and sight issues too and that is not enough for them then what is. I will never be the same person again and miss my old life but I am loving my new life with my new medical dog by my side. He helps me with walking, retrieval and scooter work too.

I have a physical condition not fully diagnosed by the medical profession which mimics Multiple Sclerosis and Parkinson’s disease together. Due to this I am left with many major side effects and limitations of both diseases. I approached all the Service Dog agencies and was turned down because I had no definitive diagnosis. It took me 2 years until I came across Diamond In The Ruff Medical Dogs they said no problem they would help me and that was the understatement of the world! They helped me train my current dog, Bear to assist me. They helped me walk independently with my dog a task that was a challenge for us to get in sync with at first but now we are poetry in motion. I walk everywhere I can now. Instead of being fearful and using my scooter I use Bear it’s beyond Great! The people there are great, very knowledgeable, compassionate and patient too. Almost like they have been there before. They gave me back not only my independence but I was petrified to go anywhere in public because I knocked everything over, fell on it or into it including people. The trainer went into public with me showing me how to be confident and function with my dog while doing the everyday chores we all must do. So now I do it for myself and by myself instead of begging neighbors to do it for me.

I can’t say thanks enough! If people only knew they wouldn’t waste time like I did. They would go nowhere else but Diamond In The Ruff Medical Dogs first not last like I did.
