About Head Trainer
Rebecca Brame
Rebecca has been working with dogs for as long as she can remember, first apprenticing with a trainer at age eleven. She grew up in Mexico City in a house full of animals, including five dogs who were her first teachers. Her childhood dream was to be able to speak to animals, and after years of researching and observing animal behavior, she has come pretty close.
Understanding how dogs communicate and seeing the resulting comfort, support and independence that human animal bond offers led Rebecca to concentrate on service dog training. She specializes in psychiatric service dogs and has coached many teams in learning tasks to assist with depression, anxiety, and PTSD as well as the manners and confidence to implement these tasks in daily life. Rebecca started RubyDog Training in 2012. RubyDog is dedicated to helping others achieve and benefit from the connection between people and animals.
Rebecca has worked with and been inspired by countless dogs of all ages and breeds. In addition to service dog training, she enjoys helping families and their dogs understand each other resulting in basic obedience, manners, impulse control, and solving common household problems. She is also experienced in behavior modification techniques used to teach dogs to cope with anxiety, fear and reactivity.
Rebecca lives with her two daughters, a sweet but nervous Rottweiler mix, a small in body, large in mind terrier mix, and a menagerie of cats, chickens, turtles and assorted fish.
"Our experience with Rebecca was very positive.
She easily understood the problems we were having with Otto. Otto responded well not only to her treats but also to her confident, praising natures. She helped us realize how truly ‘ready to learn’ he was and we were able to take her tips through the week. Even with a busy schedule, I can see how just a few minutes a day working with the clicker and positive rewards keeps Otto relaxed both in our home and when out on walks with other dogs and children.”

"Rebecca is awesome.
We’d worked with two trainers before her and found her style and approach the most helpful for us…and the most successful with Cyrus. He’s a five year old rescue with lots of energy and enthusiasm for people but anxiety around other dogs. Rebecca helped us understand his “issues” and also gave us a really useful and doable work plan. Her work with him (and with us) has really helped us manage his energy better in the house and improved our walks—we used hate walks for fear of meeting another dog now we are more confident and know how to handle the unavoidable run ins with dogs when out.”

"Rebecca helped our six year-old boxer tremendously with basic impulse controls.
Within weeks of adopting our dog (who had no prior socialization), Rebecca was able to transform him into a well-mannered and well-behaved dog. Rebecca took the time to get to know us and our dog and we noted tremendous improvement from session to session. She was also very flexible with our schedule and went above and beyond to provide the best for our dog. I’d absolutely recommend Rebecca for any dog training, big or small.”
