OWNER AND HEAD TRAINER
Justin Davanzo is the founder and owner of The Ruff Ranch. He has lived in Santa Barbara since 2013. For Justin, working in the dog training and boarding industry is more than just training dogs to “sit, stay and come” – it’s about developing a relationship with both the dog and its owners based on mutual trust and respect.
Justin firmly believes in and teaches a “Train as you live” philosophy which supports developing a great lifestyle for owners and their dogs. A Santa Monica native, Justin earned his Bachelor’s degree in Theater Arts at the University of Oregon in 1996 and is an avid photographer, skier and motorcyclist.
