Ridgeside K9 Tampa

Very happy with my decision to send my puppy to Ridgeside k9. Brent and Carleigh are the best!! I did the 2 week all-inclusive puppy training and I am very happy with the results. They lay a great foundation with the puppy and then teach you the skills to maintain the good behavior. After my lab puppy came back from the initial 10-day board and train, he was crate trained, leash trained, and place trained. It made my life a lot easier. He just came back from the 2 week more intensive training and so far I am very happy with the results. I really appreciate the time Brent took to make sure I understood everything and was comfortable. I also felt like not only are they both excellent trainers, but I felt the love and care they gave my sweet, crazy boy!!

Our pitbull/boxer mix had a significant change in behavior that came out of now where. He became reactive, fearful, aggressive and full of anxiety. Booker did a 4-week reactive and agression board and train with Brent and Carleigh. He came back today and the time Brent spent with us to explain everything showed us how much he cared for our dog and training all together. Our dog has a completely calmer demeanor and we’re able to manage his behaviors. I can’t thank Ridgeside K9 enough since this was our last ditch effort to keep him from getting put down. They put so much love and time into his training and it shows. Thank you so much Ridgeside!!

Took our dog out to a friends lake house. She loves it out there but has gotten into some fights with other dogs so we’ve been worried to take her back out. After one month of Board and Train she had a great weekend at the lake. Came back to us every time we called her and listened to all of our commands when she started to lose her focus. So thankful for Ridgeside K9 training so we can enjoy taking our dog Savannah places again

My 4-year-old Goldendoodle, Lola, recently completed a 3-week board and train program with Brent and Carleigh at Ridgeside. Before training, she struggled with fear, anxiety, and several obedience issues. She was afraid to leave the house or backyard, barked at people and dogs through the window, counter-surfed, begged, and more. I was searching for a long-term solution and honestly wasn’t sure if change was even possible. From the start, the experience was excellent. Taylor guided me through a thorough consultation and explained the entire process clearly. Everything went smoothly from there—Brent picked Lola up from our home and walked me through what the program would entail. Throughout the training, communication was consistent. I received daily updates with pictures, and Brent was always available to answer my questions. At the end of the program, we met at a park for a 3-hour session where Brent trained me on everything Lola had learned and made sure all my questions were answered. I can confidently say Lola’s behavior has completely transformed while still keeping her sweet personality. She’s now calm, confident, and no longer afraid of people, cars, or loud noises. I can finally take her on walks—something that felt impossible before. If you’re looking for real, lasting results, I highly recommend Ridgeside. The training was worth every penny, and I wouldn’t hesitate to bring my next dog here.
