Meet Birdie! A year old rescue that was raised in shelters her whole life… until now! I adopted this cutie about 3 months ago and quickly learned she had some very animal like manners haha. Thanks to Aaron J. Birdie can now walk on a leash, sit, stay, place, not beg for food, play with other pups, and go to the dog park without escaping!!! Birdie learned so much and I couldn’t be happier with the progress she made in just 2 weeks!!! A big thank you to Aaron and all of Ridgeside’s team!!!

Our little 6 month terrier mix puppy was a terror in our house. I used to train dogs myself and I couldn’t figure out how Odie was communicating with us.
Jeff figured him out. His behavior changed so much and we are so thankful for our well behaved but still silly pup we have now.

We have a 3 year old Aussie doodle who started showing signs of aggression, resource guarding and he had stopped listening to our commands. When we reached out to ask about training we recieved a reply very quickly. They made time to come to our house and meet our dog. He set realistic expectations described how he would be able to help us.
While max was in their care we received daily photos and updates on how he was doing. Communication was natural and honest, which we greatly appreciated.
Max has since returned and we feel like we have a much better version our old dog back, he is much more relaxed and listening again and we have seen none of the aggression or resource guarding. I really enjoyed that he stayed and helped train us on what he had trained max on. Jeff was patient with the kids so they can be involved in his continuing performance.

Ridgeside K9 was excellent. Jeff trained my 5 lb Pomeranian about 7 months ago and did amazing. I highly recommend this for anyone who is looking for a better relationship with your pup at any size. I was worried at the beginning with how little he was but Jeff was perfect for the job. He gave my dog Charlie the training that he needed and answered all the questions I had before and any questions I have to this day. Ridgeside K9 is trustworthy and does exactly what they say they will. It was so great to see the bond my dog shared with Jeff when Charlie came home and made my life so much better for the both of us! I am so glad I made the decision to get Charlie trained.

We cannot thank Jeff and his team more for the wonderful job training our girl Zara. He was extremely communicative throughout the process and made learning how to move forward with training at home easy. We highly recommend Ridgeside K9!
