Testimonials

Lance and his family have been amazing in helping me with my rescue. She was so terrified of everything because she was not socialized and abused. She is doing wonderful as a result and finally happy. He came to my house several times to assess her without even asking for a dollar. Thank you so much for your kindness and patience. Thank you for spreading a positive message and all you guys do for the pups that have been written off. No act of kindness no matter how small is ever wasted. Thank you for living this message.

Lance and Tabitha are working with us and our sweet German Shepard, Whiskey Girl, to modify some of her crazy puppy behaviors since she's so strong. She did great at Paw Camp for 5 weeks and now that she's home with us they're still helping us work with her to listen and behave. Lance did a great job getting her to obey his commands, now I think it's us who needs the training so it will work at home.

I have known Lance for many years. Before Ruff around the Edges he had a uncanny connection with Dogs. We are VERY fortunate in this community to have such a dedicated person who has put together an animal haven. A safe, clean happy place to board your dog with someone who truly cares. His training abilities are second to none. He and his family will go across state lines to rescue a dog at their expense. He has sacrificed and put everything into making this business work. Have you seen the facility he created? Impressive to say the least.
I recently read a review with a one star rating from someone who never even used any of Ruff's services and commented on Lances' character. He judged him for his intentions of recently helping the community.
It made me extremely angry as Lance was brought up by the MOST generous & kind family I've ever known. A family that for no financial gain of their own, will drop everything in a time of need. Lance, with more energy than two people is just continuing the Ferguson/Newitt tradition. It goes back generations.
A google review of a business in these days and times is so important to it's success. It is to share your experience with a business.
Whatever your dog needs, I would wholeheartedly, without hesitation recommend Ruff around the Edges.

Lance is one of the most down to earth and generous people I've ever met! He has the dogs and their owners best interest at heart. He has gone out of his way on countless occasions to take care of the community, with or without animals being involved. I have nothing but wonderful things to say about Lance and his character.

I haven't gone here for training, but Lance is wonderful in our community and you can see the care he puts into the animals he works with! We need more people like this! 5 stars for sure

Lance changed my dog's life. I had been to other trainers in town and got no where with my sheperd. Other trainers told me to put my dog in a crate on a time out. Lance showed me how to actually use the crate in a positive manner instead of punishment. Lance showed me how to communicate using the dog's own language to show the dog what I do and do not like. My relationship with my dog is better now. I am am so thankful I used Lance.

Wonderful and caring people. Highly qualified, and has a real strong passion and love for our precious dogs! So happy with their service and above all support for our community during hard times!!! Thank you for all your support!

Very compassionate, very honest, and will work with any type of dog. He truly cares about animals and has a huge heart. 11/10 would recommend to anyone!

You could not want a more knowledgeable or caring trainer or business owner. They are always willing to work with you and your pets even after classes. However as a pet owner if you do NOT continue working/training (you and your family must use all training techniques taught together with your pet along with consistency) or all the training in the world will not help.
Lance and family " Ruff Around The Edges," is very passionate and experienced, honest and helpful in the needs of all animals and the people who love them.

I highly recommend Lance and Tabitha!
They are amazing and knowledgeable. Lance worked with my red zone fence aggressive German Shepherd for a few weeks and the neighbors are no longer afraid of her. He also took the time to work her with my small goats so they are comfortable with her. I was amazed. Recently he helped me rehome a special 2 year old German Shepherd with great potential.. she needed way more than I could give her.
If you are looking for a trainer who has your dogs best interests at heart.. call Lance.. he can help you!
