FirstBarkI highly recommend Ridgeway canine. Five stars across the board my Golden doodle Lucy was in training for five weeks. When she came home she was a different dog, her trainer, Amado, was patient, knowledgeable, And always willing to answer my questions. I couldn’t be happier with the results and the experience .

I cannot say enough good things about Ridgeside K9 and Kendall! When I first found Billy Ray, I found him literally in the middle of the road. He was a rescue with so much potential, but he definitely had a mind of his own, especially when it came to recall. The moment I knew he truly needed professional training was when I took him boating. We were on an island, and Billy Ray heard a dog barking from the shore. Without hesitation, he jumped in the water and swam completely across the channel toward the shore. He never looked back at me. I called him, and he had absolutely ZERO recall. Watching my dog swim away from me across a channel was terrifying, and that was the moment I knew I needed help. That’s when I found Ridgeside K9 and decided to send Billy Ray for their four-week Stay & Train with Kendall. The transformation is honestly astounding. I have since taken Billy Ray back out on the boat, and I cannot tell you how incredible it feels to see the difference. His recall was 100%. He listened, responded immediately, and stayed connected to me even with all the excitement and distractions around him. I felt completely safe having him off leash, and that is something I never would have imagined before his training. Kendall did an amazing job with him. Four weeks made such a tremendous difference, not just in Billy Ray’s obedience, but in my confidence in him and our relationship. I drove almost two hours for his training, and I can honestly say it was worth every single mile. I would absolutely recommend Ridgeside K9 and Kendall to anyone looking for quality, effective training. Thank you, Kendall, for helping turn my wild rescue boy into the dog I always knew he could be!
