Calm the chaos. Build a better life with your dog.
Ruff Work’s Good Dog Blueprint is a live online seminar for dog owners whose dogs are sweet but exhausting - barking, jumping, pulling, demanding attention, or struggling to settle.
The next live online seminar is Saturday, June 13, 2026 at 7:00pm ET. Pricing starts at $149.
Recording included if you cannot attend live.
Is your dog making daily life harder than it should be?
Your dog may be loving and smart, but still:
Jump on people
Bark at every sound
Demand attention
Pull on the leash
Ignore you when excited
Struggle to calm down
Act like they are in charge of the home
Most owners try more commands, more treats, or more correction.
But many behavior problems start earlier than obedience.
They start with unclear structure.
Your dog does not need you to be harsh.
Your dog needs you to be clear.
Ruff Work's Good Dog Blueprint teaches a calm, practical framework for helping your dog understand what is expected in everyday life.
You will learn how to guide your dog through the moments that shape behavior most: food, attention, greetings, barking, movement, and freedom.
The goal is not control for the sake of control.
The goal is a calmer dog and a more peaceful home.
Inside the seminar, you’ll learn a five-part framework for creating calmer behavior at home.
You’ll learn how to:
Reduce pushy and demanding behavior
Stop accidentally rewarding chaos
Help your dog calm down before they become too worked up to listen
Create predictable routines your dog can understand
Respond to barking and alerting behavior without adding more excitement
Improve leash behavior, such as pulling, lunging, and refusing to walk
Build trust, respect, and connection through calm consistency

Pepper had a hard time calming down at bedtime and during the day for naps, pulled on the leash and barked at us for attention… she is overall much calmer and well behaved.
-Maggie
Eve is very knowledgeable, experienced, and most importantly, patient. She knows when to be firm and when to be gentle.

FAQs
No. Ruff Work is fully virtual, so a coach will not come to your home. You’ll receive training online, and Guided Blueprint clients can submit videos from home for personalized feedback on their real-life routines and behavior challenges. Video feedback is available for purchase to anyone who has completed the Good Dog Blueprint.
Yes. Many dogs know commands but cannot use them well when they are too excited, pushy, or overstimulated. This seminar focuses on the structure and calmness that make obedience easier to use in real life.

This is a good fit for common issues like jumping up, barking, pushiness, demanding attention, leash chaos, overexcitement, separation anxiety, and dogs who struggle to settle in the home.
No. This is not about intimidation, overpowering, or constant correction. It is about calm, consistent structure your dog can understand.
This seminar is not built around treat-training. You may still use treats in your dog’s life, but the focus here is on everyday routines, calm expectations, and consistent follow-through.

This seminar will still be educational and helpful, but you may still need private professional help with serious aggression, biting, or guarding.
