Brent and Carleigh trained all three of my dogs. The difference in all of their behavior after the 4 week program its night and day!My male Rottweiler used to be horrible, over protective,nervous in public, I couldn't have guest over and he would become over reactive at people even passing my driveway. I had given up on trying to get my Rottweiler trained, nothing i did was working. I was at my wits end. I had people working on my house when Brent brought him back. I was in shock he ignored them and kept his focus on me. He is no longer reactive to people driving by, I can have people visit. Walking him outside is no longer a tug of war. I get emotional I had given up on getting my Rottweiler ever being  trained I never thought i would have my life back or my Rottweiler this well trained. Now my male  and female pit mix walk with me and heel on walks. My senior female dog after training she came back with more energy and excited about going outside and on walks... before we use to have to pick her up and put her in the grass to go potty because she refused, now she goes outside tail wagging and walks the yard and her recall is great. My female pit mix will stop mid run after a squirel and come back when i call her. I never thought any of my dogs behavior would ever be on the level it is now, i had given up. Brent and Carleigh are amazing at what they do. It is because of them my life is easier. They kept me updated every night with a photo, answered all my questions. They layed down the foundation to have a well behaved dog. They give you the skills and understanding on what to do to keep up with the training. So if you where like me and at your wits end and nothing was working. Call Brent and Carleigh at ridge side. They can help give you your life back.

Just got our puppy back from the ten day program with Kenzie. She bonded with our Layla so well and we see more progress than hoped for. We are going back with Kenzie for part two in April know we are leaving her in safe and competent hands. Kenzie really knows her trade and is so enthusiastic. Adding to this after the 21 day follow up with Kenzie. Layla is now about 50 pounds, and just shy of six months old. She is hard to handle, lots of energy and needed a firm, consistent yet caring approach. Our expectations were far exceeded! Daily updates and significant consultation when we got her back. Layla showed true affection and was very responsive to Kenzie. We wouldn’t hesitate to bring her back if she needs it when she’s older.

Wow! Just wow!🙏🏼🥹💓 I highly Ridgeside K9 . Ezekiel was a wild and stubborn stray we adopted and I had absolutely no idea what I was in for with a pup but I knew I wanted to give him the best chance and start especially with the reps pit/mixes get. Zek and I completed the puppy board n training program & returned for the Adult board n training program. They didn’t just train and drop him off, they also taught and equipped me to maintain his progress with an upward projection. It’s been an absolute life changing experience!!. It’s pricey, BUT if you and your dog do the work, stay consistent and make it fun ,the results speak for itself. Ridgeside has definitely become family, Thank y’all soo much 💓🥹🫂

Cannot begin to tell you how impressed I am with our trainer Kenzi! I sent my 7 month old German Shepherd Rüger to her for some basic obedience. He was very high anxiety and timid at times. He spent 3 weeks with Kenzi and he came back to me a completely different dog! He is so well mannered! Walks beautifully on the leash, immaculate recall, and even though he is still the same high energy pup, he is so easy to manage and direct now! Cannot thank Kenzi enough! She sent me daily pictures/videos and updates while he was away! And she even does follow-up sessions with you if you have any questions or concerns once your dog comes home! Very impressed! 10/10 would recommend to anyone! Thanks Kenzi!
