Do I need puppy training?
It is imperative for puppies to receive proper foundation training. This is particularly important during the critical period which occurs from birth to 16 weeks. During this time puppies should be exposed to as much of the world as possible. Although we understand that they are still very immature and not capable of advanced behaviors it is during this time that puppies can be taught how to learn. Once they understand this process, using a marker based system, they can easily learn throughout their life!

What does our board and train entail?
Training starts immediately upon arrival for a board and train. Dogs will be taught a marker based system of learning. They will be taken out in the community several days a week and during this time they will be required to be neutral to their environment. Throughout training, we will continue to add in distance, duration and distraction to proof all commands and ensure a calm state of mind. We do not believe in one standard training method for all dogs. We will work with owners to build a program to meet the specific needs of their dog and family. We make ourselves available throughout training to answer any questions and alleviate any concerns. We pride ourselves on our transparency and dedication to keeping owners up to date and informed on the progress of training.

Does my dog need a board and train?
Any dog is eligible for a board and train program. We can work with owners to address specific behavioral issues and training desires to tailor the training program for each dog. Basic board and train programs for adult dogs, not including any behavior modification, will instill a marker based learning system for dogs. This is a simple, clear and concise form of communication which will empower owners to build a better relationship with their dog.

My husband and I sent our rescued Brittany Spaniel Bo to the 4-week board and train program to address issues with confidence and ability to settle, as well as other behavioral concerns. Cori was fantastic in providing just the right guidance and structure to bring out the best in Bo. She communicated daily to us, which helped us in being prepared for Bo's return home and our ability to use the same tools and commands with him. Thank you for a job well done and in giving us, as well as Bo, the confidence to be the best pet and pet owners possible!
Great program, Amanda was wonderful. We chose the 3 week puppy board and teain program. It was a great program for our Atlas. Updated everyday with pictures and video, and Amanda did a great job explaining what they were working on in the videos. Highly recommend if you are looking for training.
We sent our English Springer puppy to board and train with Shonnah and couldn’t be happier. He came back to us understanding commands and much easier to manage with our 2 small children.

Cori, a Ridgeside K9 Summerville Trainer, has been an absolute game changer for our girl, Raven. We came to her needing help with behavioral modification as well as overall puppy skills, and the transformation we’ve seen has been incredible. From the very beginning, Cori took the time to truly understand Raven—not just her behaviors, but her personality—and tailored everything to meet her needs. What sets Cori apart is not just her knowledge and skill (which are exceptional), but her genuine passion for animals. It’s something you feel immediately when you meet her. She has such a calm, confident presence that dogs naturally respond to, and she creates an environment where both the dog and the owner feel supported and empowered. Cori is incredibly patient, encouraging, and intentional in the way she teaches. She doesn’t just “train your dog”—she teaches you how to communicate, build trust, and create a lasting bond. Every session felt purposeful, and she always made sure we left feeling more confident than when we arrived. Beyond her talent, Cori is simply a light in this world. She truly cares—about the animals she works with and the people who love them—and that level of heart is rare. You can tell this isn’t just a job for her, it’s her calling. We are so grateful for everything she’s done for Raven and for us. If you’re looking for someone who is knowledgeable, compassionate, and deeply committed to what they do, Cori is truly the best.
