Our dog Ozzy was a rescue who warmed our hearts immediately. He lacked social ability, manners in the house and ability to be around other dogs. It was hard at first to choose for him to go to training without fear after only having him for 3 weeks that he may forget us.. I was reassured by Nikki and Jay that he would indeed remember us, and they were absolutely right. When training was finished and we were able to see him, fears were gone. He was totally excited to see me and my son. Lots of doggie kisses. Thanks to Everyone including the the great training from Taylor and Kendal, your training has given Ozzy a chance to be a loving, well manered addition to our family. He is now comfortable in his surroundings and new lease on enjoying his life. I would reccomend Ridgeside K9 to anyone and rest assured your dog will not forget you.

I had a wonderful experience with a fantastic group that truly loves dogs. Their welcoming felt like family to my mother and me, and they are dedicated to ensuring that your needs are met. My dog, Ozzy, is a rescue who spent time living on the streets before being taken in by my mother and me. This group did a fantastic job training him to be social. They taught him not to jump on things or bark at people, and how to avoid other undesirable behaviors. Ozzy had to fend for himself on the streets, so these training basics were essential! I cannot praise this group enough. They are incredibly knowledgeable about dogs, and I can assure you that you won’t be disappointed. Ozzy is now demonstrating his newly learned behavior—he doesn’t run out of the house, jump on counters, and his obedience has dramatically improved. Thank you, J, Nikki, Taylor, and Kendall! I will definitely spread the word to anyone who needs help with their dogs. 🐕

My sweet 5-year old Lab, Kayleigh, completed the 4 week board and train program about 3 weeks ago. Typical Lab, she needed to learn manners (leash walking/not jumping on people) and impulse control. She loved the training (in every video, her tail never stopped madly wagging!) and Charles transformed her into the dog I can take everywhere with confidence. At the time of pick up, he spent several hours explaining her training and how I could best work with her to continue and expand her progress. When I travel and cannot take her with, I also now use Ridgeside's boarding service which is great peace of mind knowing she is well cared for and loved in my absence. Thanks to Charles and Ridgeside K9, Kayleigh and I are looking forward to many fun adventures together!

We are extremely satisfied with the training Ridgeside did, we brought our German shepherd there mostly because she barked at every dog she saw an additional to that she would never come to us when we called her, we just just came back from a walk where we went by no less than 4 dogs and she just walked past them like they weren’t there, we are so happy to have our dog act normal around other dogs, also about her recall, wow we just say her name and she darts back to us like a bullet, I can’t say enough on how impressed we are and I urge anyone looking for training to speak with them, we found the entire team to be extremely honest with real dog knowledge, I suspect that comes from the owners and trainers were former k9 police officers, try them, you will not be disappointed
