Expert Dog Training for Lasting Results

“We had such a great experience with Ridgeside K9! When we first started, our puppy was very anxious and unsettled. Trent was calm, patient, and incredibly knowledgeable. He helped transform him into a much more relaxed, content, and confident pup. The difference in his overall demeanor has been amazing. Trent also gave us the tools and confidence to continue the training at home, which made all the difference. We’re so grateful and highly recommend Ridgeside K9!”

“Our puppy has been completely transformed by her training with Ridgeside K9 Charlottesville. Prior to training it was difficult to walk with her and my children because she would constantly try to jump and nip them to play. My kids were quickly growing disenchanted with our new addition to the family and I knew we needed more training than I could provide on my own. I was nervous to send our pup away for boarding and training because I thought she might not have the same sweet personality when she returned. When she came home we immediately knew we had made the right decision, because our sweet puppy was more confident as a result of us having the tools and training to help her be successful in our home. My children can now run, play, and leash walk our big pup without worrying about being knocked over or nipped. Every part of this process with Ridgeside K9 was wonderful. The communication was excellent and we received detailed updates throughout the training. We had a thorough turnover lesson with a clear plan for responding to unwanted behaviors from our dog and how to use the tools and resources we were given effectively. It’s been an incredible experience and worthy investment for our family! Thank you to our trainer Trent for helping us love our family pet even more!”

“Trent is incredible. Not only did he answer the many questions we had leading up to, and during, Olive’s training, but he has continued to stay in touch and check in with us. Olive is an 11 month old Boston terrier who was needing some help with recall training and general obedience. Now she is extremely responsive and receptive (her walks include so much off leash time now) and she gets compliments from strangers about how well behaved she is. She’s become a real companion now, not just a rambunctious puppy! We are so happy. Thank you Trent!”
