Leigh Sansone, CPDT-KA
(Certified Professional Dog Trainer), PMCT (Pat Miller Certified Trainer), CGC (AKC Canine Good
Citizen Evaluator), of Ruff Customers Dog Training™, is one of New York City's top
dog trainers. Leigh applied the research skills she honed as a successful Manhattan attorney
to learning the most effective, modern, and humane methods of dog training and behavior
modification. She has studied with world-renowned dog trainers and behavior consultants
such as Sue
Sternberg, Pia
Silvani, CPDT-KA, CDBC, and Pat Miller, CPDT-KA, CDBC, and Suzanne Clothier. A full-time dog trainer and behavior
consultant, Leigh works with dogs having fear and aggression-related
behavior issues, works privately with owners to teach basic obedience, and teaches the occasional obedience
and tricks classes for puppies and dogs. Leigh has twin goals: first, to train dogs and their people while making the
learning process enjoyable; and second, to show that you don't need to use outdated, punishment-based training methods
to train dogs properly. Click here to see Leigh's resume, including seminars and other advanced training education.
In March of 2010, Leigh received the great honor of being recognized for her dog training knowledge by the Association of Pet Dog
Trainers (APDT) in their book, "Top Tips
from Top Trainers," a book of training tips and tricks as told by APDT's leading dog
trainers and behavior consultants. Leigh is the moderator of two internet training groups on LinkedIn,
Positive Dog Training Professionals,
and Professional Dog Trainers and a contributing writer for "NearSay New York".

Leigh has one lovely dog, named "Miss
Alabama" in honor of Leigh's southern roots. Allie is a six year old 60-pound mixed
breed. Allie likes eating meat, chasing squirrels, and taking long runs on the beach. And, she actually
earns her keep, helping Leigh work with dog-aggressive dogs to teach them proper doggie
communication skills. NO, Allie is not perfect, but she does get trained and treated a lot in
Leigh's spare time.
Training should be fun for you AND for your dog; training with Ruff Customers IS. And, best of all,
fun, positive training will build an enjoyable life-long relationship
between you and your canine companion.
At Ruff Customers,
we don't use fear or pain, we use our brains to train!
