What People Are Saying
“My family used Ridgeside K9's 3-week board and train program for our 2-year-old pup, and we couldn't be happier with the results! Our dog showed significant positive changes, especially in her reactivity and her off-leash recall during hikes. As a family that loves spending time outdoors, this improvement has been a game-changer for us.”
“Trent and his team absolutely changed my family's life, and I do not say that lightly. Our Coco went from being unable to be in the same room as our cat, being very difficult to walk and disobedient to being the best big sister to our cat and the best partner for long walks. It's most definitely a journey and with constant at home training we have seen our girl's quality of life increase so much due to her training.”
