Erica is amazing! Her expertise as a dog trainer is rare. Despite trying various other local dog…read moretraining services, none of them have given us the same results as Erica. 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.

I contacted Ridgeside K9 after doing a google search for dog trainers in my area. 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.

I hope they get it together as I'd like to support small local businesses owners. Today I came into the store for a dog product. A pretty, gothic girl proceeds to help me. Now, I understand these girls are underpaid so I don't expect much knowledge but basic customer service skills should be a requirement here. Another person walks in, the girl walks away without saying anything and disappears in the back. I'm alone in the store.. everyone is in the back grooming area. What a funny business! Unprofessional and dismissive. Our last grooming experience was also not a good one. Mistakes, rudeness, delayed service and a cut that made my poodle look fat because they cut the head hair too short compared to the rest of her body and her ear hair was chopped off in two layers that you could see like a step appearance. Get it together please or we'd have to pick another place.

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.

The first lesson was a more of a Q&A to get to know the puppy, answer any questions we had about dog training, and any general q&a about dogs in general. The remaining lessons were tailored to our biggest pain points. Once the training started, we saw the changes we asked for almost immediately! Our puppy's routine was well received by our puppy, it was like magic. I highly recommend Helene's services to anyone and look forward to how our puppy will be once the classes are over. Thank you Helene!

Review for Kathy Longwell by Nicole…read more Puppy Training Where to begin?? I really can't say enough good things about Kathy. I never write reviews, but I felt compelled to because of her outstanding expertise and help in training my puppy. Kathy's professionalism, care for the dog's wellbeing, and ability to clearly and effectively communicate with me are only a handful of reasons why I'd strongly recommend Kathy's services to anyone. What I failed to realize in the beginning of working with Kathy is how much dog training involves human training...specifically training me, the dog owner. In order to get the most out of training, I felt I needed to keep an open mind to Kathy's suggestion and never take it personally. She truly has the dog's best interest at heart. For example, one suggestion Kathy made was to start loose leash walk training indoors, then in my backyard, then front yard, then finally sidewalks. (I compared the concept to a child going to kindergarten first, then elementary school, then high school, then finally college.) Implementing her input was the best thing I ever did! He walks really well on a loose leash now outside on sidewalks (at barely 5 months old!). Had I not checked my ego at the door and openly received and diligently implemented Kathy's sage advice, my puppy would never be as well behaved as he is. Do yourself, your dog, and our community a favor by hiring Kathy.
