Brought my puppy here after sending him to a different trainer for a month. Just after a couple weeks with Sean, I could see WAY more confidence and consistency with my pup than the previous trainer did in a month. HIGHLY recommend!!
We can't say enough great things about Ridgeside K9 and the entire team! Sean, Paul, Amber, and everyone we worked with have been absolutely amazing. From the very beginning, they were knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely invested in helping both us and our wild boy, Asher.
The training has made such a difference in Asher's behavior, but what has impressed us even more is that their support doesn't end when the program is over. They continue to answer questions, offer guidance, and help us work through new challenges as they come up. Knowing we have a team we can reach out to for advice has been invaluable and has given us so much more confidence as dog owners.
Olivia and Sean did such a great job with our dog, Archie! Olivia took him under her wing and worked hard to get him to be attentive and obedient. Everyone at Ridgeside K9 took time to educate our entire family (kids included), which has helped with the success of transitioning home after board and train. Archie’s training has helped tremendously with our family dynamics and we have really enjoyed being able to take him out in public. Thank you for all the time, energy, and effort you put into training. You are all great at what you do! Highly recommend to anyone looking for board and train, or general dog obedience lessons!
