Ridgeside K9 Tampa

Old dogs can learn new tricks! My boy is 11 years old and has always struggled with anxiety - unable to be in busy environments, elevators, downtown, restaurants, near strangers, etc. He would shake, growl, and go to bite anything that got near us. Kenzi has done the unthinkable and has my boy living and loving the life of a downtown pup! I now take him to the office and he is a social butterfly. I honestly am still in shock and wish I had invested in this sooner. 5 stars all the way!

We were initially hesitant about sending our dog, Olive, to reactivity training. BUT we are very happy that we did. Kenzi sent us daily pictures and updates of Olive and was really good at responding to all our questions. When we got Olive back she was so much more confident. The confidence has made her more of her wild, cuddly and eccentric self. We have had dogs all of our life and it’s been fine, but with Olive we needed help. Kenzi taught Olive and us a structure to communicate better and for her to continue feeling confident. The session when we got her back was really informative and taught us how to keep it up. Kenzi also has been very responsive when we message her with questions. Truly can’t say enough great things about Ridgeside k9 Tampa. If you are on the fence they are great for helping you decide. It was a great experience for us, and it was very comforting knowing that Olive was in capable and also loving hands.

Brent and Carleigh made a difference in our life's and we are very grateful. Our little puppy Artoo who is a 7 month old German Spitz was out of control. We couldn't go out for walks because he would bark at everything cars, leaves, bugs, wind, everythinggg! to the point he would get so crazy he would hurt himself. Yes, we know puppy's have lots of energy but this was a little bit out of the ordinary. This little guys who is 5lbs, was chewing on everything walls, shoes, carpet anything he could find. He had a basket full of his toys but it was impossible, Artoo was also nipping at our ankles, our toddler ankles and our older German Spitz who was really sick of him, she couldn't walk anywhere without him nipping or biting at her. We were trying everything we were reading about training and crating nothing was working. We where really desperate so we looked into boarding him. We did our research and talked to 8 different companies. When I talked to Brent he has very nice and knowledgeable and inspired me a lot of confidence. We made the right choice Artoo left to Brents program for three weeks and he came back with so much self control, we can go on our 1 to 2 mile walks everyday, our toddler is not scared of him anymore, he learned door manners, self control, sitting, place and waiting, and the best of all is that he stopped eating the walls. Our life is back to pretty much back to normal. Brent and Carleigh made sure we had updates everyday about how Artoo was doing and he was also smiling on every video and picture they sent. So we can say we totally %100,000 recommend them and their program. We are very thankful!
