What sets Erica apart from the rest, is that she creates an in-home training program for you that is custom to your unique dog(s), lifestyle, and overall circumstances. In our case, we have three dogs, one who has an injury. Generic dog training advice that we would find online wasn't working for us. Every training technique from Erica has been very effective. We've seen immediate improvement in our dogs. Walking our dogs used to be stressful and now it's something we look forward to everyday. Their improved behavior has allowed us to take them more places, have more adventures, and overall make them & us happier.

In March 2023, I brought home a 3-month old doxie, who was just so cuddly and adorable. I've had…read moredachshunds before and know they can be sassy, but my new pup, Norman, went from cute to nippy to full-on growling/snarling/biting/charging me in about 3 months time. He turned into a total a-hole, Mr. Alpha. Even though he was only 10 lbs, he had some sharp teeth and a bad attitude. I did some basic obedience training with him at my local PetCo, which was good for basic stuff, but he still had major behavioral issues. I thought maybe he would calm down a bit after I got him neutered at 9 months, but no go. This whole experience was so upsetting. I had never had a dog like this that was so difficult. All I wanted was to love my dog, and what I got was regularly bitten and a lot of stress. It got so bad that I called dachshund rescue places to see if they would take him - they said 'no thanks'. And I went so far as to fill out an intake form with the Animal Rescue League in August. I cried myself to sleep that night because I didn't want to give up on this dog, but it was way more stress and expense than I had bargained for. I spoke w/ Sam Ivy back in June and he told me about his behavioral program. I wasn't ready to make the investment at that point, but I liked what he had to say. I told him I wanted to wait until I got Norman neutered before investing in any more training. Fast forward to August - I was on the verge of giving Norman up and Sam texted me. I'll never forget: Sam told me to get rid of the behavior, not the dog. He convinced me to give Norman one more chance. So I made the decision to invest in the Proper Pack Behavior course. I saw all the great reviews for Holli, one of SamIvy's trainers, and requested her. Lucky me - we started training with Holli the next week. Over the last several months, Norman and I have been working with Holli, and I am so so glad I gave SamIvy a chance. Norman (who I refer to as The Whip since he's a Work In Progress) has come a LONG way. Is he an angel 24/7? No. But he's much calmer. He's more trusting of and respectful to me. He's no longer possessive of his food. Our walks are in control. His potty training routine has improved 100%. He doesn't bite me when I put his collars on. I can take him in public and he's been spot trained to sit and behave in a restaurant with me (can you say 'miracle'??). Our relationship is MUCH better and he's begun to understand that I am the pack leader and that I am the decision maker. Now - Holli is gem. She's no joke. She knows her stuff inside and out. Her expertise paired with SamIvy tools equals results. And remember at the end of the day, it is us - the pet owners - that need to be trained to manage our dogs. So this training was an eye opener for both me and Norman. If you are on the fence about making the investment to train your sassy-ass dog, trust me when I say it's worth every penny. SamIvy's program and tools are superior to traditional training or bootcamps because they understand how dogs think/operate. Kudos to you Sam, Holli, and team! Chris and Norman

She worked her magic on both of my dogs, and let me tell you--one of them acts like he's training for the drama Olympics every time he gets groomed.

My initial…read moreconsultation with Taylor was great, she asked a lot of questions about my Malinois rescue and what I was looking to get out of training. I explained to her that there were a few areas that he and I could use some help in, and we got the ball rolling. Brent showed up on the day of pickup and walked me through the process of what to expect during the time he would be training Kona and what kind of updates I would get. I got daily pictures and updates on his status. All I can say is wow, when Kona came back, he was a different dog. Brent spent about 2.5 hours with my family explaining how to integrate the training he used into our lives and how to use the tools he provided us with to make sure Kona succeeds. I think he trains the owners more than the dogs (lol). After we went through his training it was time to put it to use, he had my wife, and I walk Kona, and he gave us tips on how to correct behavior and relax and enjoy the walk. Thank you to Brent and his staff for helping us help Kona be a successful rescue and a huge part of our family.

The one star for the training, and the lack of stars for unprofessional conduct from the owner…read more(Brent). Our dog went through professional behavioral training through another company years ago. He had a solid baseline for learning and commands (sit, heal, place, etc.). Our primary issue was our dog's reactivity. We needed more help on how we as owners could manage this better. We decided to go with Ridgeside K-9 based on their stellar reviews and 4 week behavior modification board and train. Brent picked our dog up and was very thorough on what the plan was. We received a picture/video just about every evening with minimal communication attached. We were trusting their process. During the turn over, everything went well. We did notice our dog had lost a good amount of weight. He was never over weight by any means, but now we can really feel his ribs, spine, and hip bones. Nothing unhealthy though. We also noticed his bark was very different, and we figured it was due to him barking in the kennel during the turn over. Just over a week went by, and our dog's bark was still extremely weak. That coupled with our dog's weight loss had us a little uneasy. When confronting Brent over a phone call out of concern for our dog he became extremely defensive. He heatedly said our dog about drove him insane for 2 weeks due to his barking (which he never thought to mention previously), and then asked if we see a difference in him considering the training. I said not significantly. As mentioned, we've worked our dog for years, and the technique Brent taught us regarding our dog's reactivity is new to us. It had been just over a week and we were still learning to manage and get the results we need. However, before I could elaborate on any of this Brent completely flew off the handle. He was literally YELLING at me over the phone, saying I don't know what I'm talking about, we are the problem, and that I am a person who worries too much. I simply wanted to talk to him out of concern for my dog, and I felt like that meant nothing to him. My husband intervened on the phone due to Brent's disrespect toward me and it only got worse from there. We didn't get a hint of this instability throughout our prior interactions with Brent, and this left both of us completely in shock. Once things cooled down, Brent went back into a mode of wanting to help. Although this was appreciated, the damage was done. Brent has a lot of passion and pride in his work, but his temper concerns us greatly. It was like a switch, and there was ABSOLUTELY no excuse for that level of disrespect towards us.

Rating: Infinite…read morethanks to the whole team and especially to Shallingda! Taking my two 3-year-old Pitbull dogs and our 10-month-old Malinois puppy to the academy was the best decision we could make. At first we were very concerned about how they would adapt and live together due to their different energies and stages, but the change has been absolutely magical. Thanks to the patience, professionalism and techniques of the team - and especially to Shaglimda, who guided us step by step with so much love and dedication -, today they are inseparable. They literally love each other like true brothers, they share their space in absolute peace and living at home is wonderful. I have no words to thank you for the peace you have given us at home and for the love with which they treat our furry ones. I recommend the academy with my eyes closed! 100% professional.

Several years ago my husband and I became official dog owners of our miniature schnauzer, Kaiser…read more To keep things simple we initially went to the previous owners' veterinarian, but after two visits we decided it was time to switch. We wanted a vet that could provide our pup with an annual heart worm shot instead of the monthly heart worm pill that was wrecking our dog's stomach. After reading the glowing reviews we decided to take our fur baby to Hyde Park Veterinary Clinic. Everyone here is so nice here so I see why so many others love this vet as much as we do! Most importantly, they carry the ProHeart injection to prevent heart worms so we were able to ditch the pills that were causing our dog so much discomfort. Our previous vet was so hard to reach and I would constantly have to leave voicemails that seemed to take forever to get returned. I never have an issue reaching Hyde Park Veterinary Clinic. They also have an online app that makes it super easy to schedule an appointment. Parking is a little limited since the vet is located in Hyde Park, but if the parking lot is full there is plenty of street parking off of South Newport Avenue. During covid the office has allowed curbside drop off and pick up. I hope that this option continues to be available because it is so much easier for me to sit in my car with my toddler boys instead of dragging them inside the vet. I am so glad we made the switch to Hyde Park Veterinary Clinic!
