Bridging the "Success Gap" Between Dogs and Their Humans

I’m Vinny Olito, the founder of Camp Ruff Ruff. With locations in Staten Island, NY, and Saylorsburg, PA, my mission has always been to provide more than just a place for dogs to stay—I want to provide a place where dogs are truly understood.

Experience Meets Science My background is rooted in certified force-free training and behavioral consulting. Over years of managing high-volume, cage-free boarding and working with complex behavioral cases, I realized that the biggest challenge owners face isn't a lack of love for their dogs—it’s a lack of tactical, professional-grade information.

Why I Created These Courses I developed these digital resources to take the guesswork out of dog ownership. From the critical "Golden Window" of puppy socialization to the high-stakes world of professional k9 handling and safety, my courses are designed to give you the "Biological Blueprint" for success.

The Mission Beyond Training Education is the key to keeping dogs in homes and out of shelters. Through the CRR Safety Scholarship, a portion of our proceeds goes toward providing free professional training to rescue volunteers and shelter staff. When you invest in a Camp Ruff Ruff course, you aren’t just helping your dog; you’re helping us build a safer community for all dogs.

Lead with confidence. Train with kindness. Bridge the gap.
