Ridgeside K9 Knoxville

Professional,attentive,open communication,results!! We adopted 'Buddy' a Malinois with some behavioral and aggression problems.He could pull you off your feet on a leash.We left him for training and said that little girl is going to be his trainer(Erica)?Well the proof is in the results.Way to go Erica,so proud of you and Buddy.We can take him to the park no problem and he seems happier just learning what behavior is acceptable and what is not.Thank you Ridgeside K9 and especially Erica! I encourage folks to go for the owner training session to understand how to implement and continue what your pet has been taught. Dan & Sandy Wiles

We had adopted a dog, Oreo, from a shelter and while she is a sweet dog, we were having a hard time getting her out of the house for anything. It was always a huge, traumatic thing. Nor could we bathe her easily. Erica worked with Oreo and it had made life so much easier for us! While Oreo is still shy around people, we are able to take her out for walks and get her in and out of our vehicle so much easier now! There are no more battles that end in a terrified dog and pee and poop all over our house or cars! I am so grateful to Erica and the whole Ridgeside team for their hard work!

We had a plott/cur before. Never really had any issues with her listening, tearing things up and was kinda self trained. This time we got a full plott (Luna) it was night and day! We tried the at home training with a trainer. It helped alittle. But we just couldn't keep her from getting into things all the time! Then proceeded to tearing it apart.. she would never lay down. Walks were impossible. She would walk us. We could never relax bc we were chasing her the whole time. Getting into a crate when we left was a half day event. Last year we put no xmas decorations up bc it would turn into a snatch n grab. So we finally decided enough was enough bc we were not gonna give her away. My wife told them we're going to have 2 Xmas trees up.. that will be their test.. Sammie worked with Luna and sent us a video once a week with updates. This dog with just the 3week course was a different dog! Luna left the trees alone and just a simple No she'd walk on. Getting into the crate is no hassle at all. We can eat dinner like normal people lol. Luna will still test us.. I highly recommend the E collar.. its like A TENS . No shocking..I can't say enough what an awesome job Sammie did AND after a few weeks she came to the house with a follow up. They want thier dog to succeed and Sammie is just a phone call away for any issues. I don't think thier is a dog she can't train.. she owns Malinios herself .. Highly recommend. we plan on in the future to do the additional off leash training course

I sent my dog Moon to Ridgeside for training on recall and jumping and I am very pleased with the results! I loved Moons trainer Samantha and can tell Moon loved her too! She even sent me some Christmas photos of Moon when I was missing him. Samantha made sure to answer any questions I had and that I was well prepared to utilize all of Moons new training skills. I would highly recommend Samantha and Ridgeside K9 for training!!
