Kenzi trained my dog Barry! He’s a 10 month old Golden. As you can imagine he has QUITE the energy with a very short attention span. Anything and everything catches his attention and he bolts to it. When we put Barry in training he was tripping me, weaving in and out of my legs with his leash. He didn’t care about the word “no” and would jump on strangers or eat rocks. He chewed up my house and trash and he wouldn’t sleep in his own area, no matter how many times I showed him. No E-collar or training method I tried would get him to listen to me. He spent 2 weeks with Kenzi and now understands - No/drop it - Sit - Stay -Heal (walk next to me) and he makes eye contact the entire time! - Place (His bed) he won’t get up without permission! - Free This company did a wonderful job whipping my dog into shape and finding a training method that works best with him. They stayed in contact with me and sent me pictures of him + the task he was being taught the entire time. I would recommend Kenzi and her colleagues 1000 times over and will be coming back with any future animals. P.s: they also offer cheaper training afterwards for any other training sessions! Plus free consults for any questions/concerns you have!

Can't express how GRATEFUL I am for the crew at Ridgeside! Great communication. Accommodating. Well versed. And kind! They boarded my 5 month old golden retriever and gave him the foundation and tools to be attentive, obedient, and disciplined. And they took the time to educate me for training in the future. Best investment for my best fur friend, hands down!

Ridgeside K9 Tampa saved my life! Our 9 year old dog was happy as could be until we relocated to Florida. His anxiety was out of control. Kenzie and her team worked wonders with our difficult situation. Our dog is so well trained and happy. I wish he was trained by Ridgeside k9 Tampa when he was a puppy. Ridgeside took 100% amazing care of our baby. We are grateful to have them for boarding as well in the future. Best people ever!

I left my 10 mo old GSD with Kenzie for 3 weeks and was blown away at the results. I did my best at training basics and wanted my dog SHARP. I had a realistic discussion with Kenzie and she hit all the points as well as the end product she was sure we could master. Kenzie brought me back a hardcore working dog who maintained her crazy personality but when we flip her go switch this dog is on point. I am so confident in this dog, who was reactive due to dog park attacks at a young age plus coming from a shelter. I took her for coffee outside downtown and forgot she was with me! This dog loves to work, i would be confident taking her through an airport without issue. she is more calm in the house as well. i could not recommend this company or trainer more. Worth the time and money. There are so many services offered with this training including the coaching afterward and the boarding to maintain.

We sent out boxer puppy Cocoa off with Kenzie for 3 weeks. We are now two weeks post completion of training and we love how much more responsive of a dog we have now. We have used Ridgeside K9 over the years up in VA and we can't say enough about how great this company is. Kenzie did an amazing job and we look forward to working with them again in the future.
