Our Story

Ruff Hearts is owned and operated by Coleen Elliott. I have been a dog trainer for 10 years. First certified through Animal Behavior College. More recently through American Society of Canine Trainers. My doctor suggested years ago that I try having a service dog to help with my CPTSD. Since I have experience training dogs, I trained my own and it has been a life changer for me. I decided to open my own service dog training company, Ruff Hearts, to train dogs and find them spots to help change lives, like mine has been.
