Sean and Amber have built something really special with Ridgeside K9 Central Illinois. You can tell it’s rooted in real experience, discipline, and a genuine passion for dogs. From training to boarding and everything in between, their team (including Brittany) runs things the right way. Proud to work with people who truly care about what they do!
When I first spoke to Sean and discussed the issues I was having with my dog, I knew Ridgeside would definitely be able to help her. On my first visit, I met with Sean and Amber. I realized this wasn't just a job to them. They love what they do and love the animals. From the very beginning Sean was able to read my dog and told me why she was reacting the way she was. After two sessions he not only trained my dog but trained me on how to handle her in certain situations. I highly recommend Ridgeside. And personally I would like to thank Sean for his service in the military.
We have had a great experience with Sean Paul and Amber at Ridgeside K9. They are incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and truly love dogs. They’re always available to answer questions and support you every step of the way.
My husband and I adopted a 10-week-old German Shepherd back in September and have been training with Ridgeside K9 ever since. We chose the hybrid option, which includes in-home sessions and access to their classes, and both have been extremely helpful and informative. We’ve seen so much growth in our dog because of their training.
We’re happy to have found trainers we trust, and we cannot recommend them enough.
