The DogSmith ARRF© Approach
The ARRF© methodology of dog training and behavior change program was developed by The DogSmith Training Center and provides the most effective training system possible for the pet dog and its owner.

• Niki Tudge watched as time and time again, dog lovers struggled to live comfortably with their pets.
• Niki Tudge has used her unique combination of "people" teaching expertise and dog training skills to create a proprietary system of education known as ARRF.
• Niki Tudge was one of the first to recognize the disconnect between the needs of today's pet-loving American families and the confusing, sometimes overwhelming and often misguided options provided by many unregulated dog training and pet care companies.
• By understanding and using the most current scientific learning principles applied to pet dog training, DogSmiths ensure that learning will be humane, effective, reliable, fun and easy.
• Today, The DogSmith stands alone as the only national franchise that offers both positive, learning-theory based dog training services coupled with a selection of other pet related services.
• Most importantly, DogSmith Trainers fully engage pet dogs and their owners into the learning process by creating a fun and highly motivating environment ensuring active participation is sustained by both students (human and canine).
