I can not say enough good things about Ridgeside K9 Nashville. Aaron Jeter really knows his stuff. We had in house fighting that was getting dangerous. Aaron changed the life of my problem dog. He gave her confidence and manners and turned her into a happy dog. I honestly didn't believe that it could be done. My Virginia is a new dog. A happy confident dog. Peace is back in the house.
If you need help, don't hesitate to call them. Miracles do happen and Aaron performed this one.

I brought my dog Ren to Jeff in February for a two-week board and train, and I truly couldn’t be happier with the experience.
Before working with Jeff, I had taken Ren to another board and train years ago that actually made things worse. Because of that, I was extremely hesitant to try again. Ren struggled with reactivity, separation anxiety, and needed a solid refresh on his basic commands.
When Jeff came by to meet us, I could immediately tell how much he genuinely loves dogs. That gave me a lot of confidence right away. Ren was originally scheduled to stay for two weeks, but due to the ice storm, he ended up staying for three—and they didn’t charge me anything extra. Every evening, I received videos, pictures, and detailed updates on what they worked on that day, which meant a lot.
The transformation has been incredible. I never thought I’d see the day where Ren could calmly be around other dogs without a care in the world. I was honestly shocked—and a little emotional. It completely changed our day-to-day life.
Now, I get compliments all the time on how well-trained he is. I can take him anywhere without worrying about running into other dogs. I only wish I had found Jeff sooner.
Jeff and his team truly changed my life with Ren, and I can’t thank them enough.

This is a professional classy organization. I received follow up on a weekend from a request that I had made online. Judy answered all of my questions and plans were made for my Bonnie to receive obedience training. Gabe was so kind and spent a lot of time with her getting her in to great shape. He would send me videos and pictures daily and showing me the progress that she was making. Gabe and Jeff (owner) even traveled three hours to drop her off and teach me how to train her. Now Bonnie is training me :) They have a lifetime guarantee for future tuneups as well! I highly recommend Gabe and the gang. I am very appreciative.

Aaron Jeter is excellent. We just had our wild 8 month old male Golden Doodle stay with him for a 2week board & train. Our puppy came back so well behaved and I am having a much better time as new puppy parent, so grateful! Aaron is skillful & intuitive, strong & gentle. He understands & respects the energy exchanges that occur during training. He was also patient and accommodating with his explanations of aftercare. Overall great experience! Thank you K9Ridgeside & Aaron Jeter.

I have two stubborn male English bulldogs that wouldn’t listen to me for anything. They had dominance issues, were knocking me over on walks, barking wild at neighbors, and kicking me out of bed at night with their aggressive cuddling. I gave them to Jeff for 3 weeks and like magic they are back to being best friends, heel on walks, are crate trained, and respect their mom. Jeff is incredible at his job. He gave them tons of love and groomed them properly. They were happy campers when they arrived back home and were sad to see Jeff leave the house. I have no regrets and would 100% recommend this program to anybody.
