My name is Kristi Ruggiero, and I am the owner and trainer for Dogs Dig Training. I became interested in dog training in 2016 when I adopted Jake from a local animal shelter. Jake came to me with some behavior issues such as jumping and barking. I tried my best to “fix” these issues but with no luck. I was told by friends and family to return Jake to the shelter, but I knew I was his best chance at a forever home. That was when I decided to join the Victoria Stilwell Academy for Dog Training and Behavior. While working as a registered nurse, I managed to finish my dog trainer course and am now proud to be a dog trainer and owner of Dogs Dig Training.
