We started dog training with our puppy Brutus to help with his reactivity and learning how to settle. We have only done 2 trainings so far but we have noticed such a big difference in Brutus’s behavior. It has been completely game changing! We’re so thankful to have found these trainers, we’ve been working with Kendal and we love her! We have been able to take our baby gates down and let Brutus free roam the house with no problems and have him on the couch with us without attacking us like a piranha hahaha. Highly recommend!

I came in with goals for with my 8 month old GSP Havoc and met every single one of them.. They gave us a perfect foundation to start on to give me and my dog the best life. I can’t thank them enough.❤️

We came back to Ridgeside for Radar’s next phase of training, and once again, they exceeded every expectation.
Radar absolutely loves people, so teaching him neutrality and focus in public was a real challenge for us. The team did an incredible job helping him understand the difference between “work” and play. By properly introducing and conditioning his collar and vest, Radar now recognizes when it’s time to stay focused—and the transformation has been amazing.
They’ve not only continued building on his obedience, but also set a strong foundation as he begins his service dog training. The confidence, consistency, and clarity they’ve given him (and us) has made all the difference.
We’re beyond grateful for the continued support and expertise from the Ridgeside team. Highly recommend them to anyone looking for advanced training or service dog work!
