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.

She was very friendly, fantastic customer service. While we were away I received photos, videos, and updates about how our boy was doing from Maria - playing, eating, having the time of his life. This kind of reassurance when leaving your fur baby somewhere is so important and SO appreciated! I really felt like our boy was in really good hands and being loved the way we love him. He made some friends and was such a happy boy in all of the videos, prancing around outside and just loving his time. When I arrived to pick Milo up the same young lady helped check me out (I wish I would've gotten her name - her customer service is fantastic, she's great!!) Milo came out, freshly bathed, as happy as can be! I was so happy to see that he had a great time and we didn't have to worry about him while we were away. We will definitely be boarding our boy here again next time we travel!!

As I travel for business we used a boarder down town who neglected Penny, slowing her to go unsupervised and injure herself trying to get out of her kennel. Paws took the time to understand Penny's situation and provided the kind of care and supervision and really needs. With an extra dose of love. We got frequent updates, Penny got her medication and was so happy. It's hard to express the value and relief we feel for what Paws is able to do for us. To know that Penny has someone that loves her like we do and had the experience and qualifications to give her the best care let's me travel for business work confidence and come home to a happy pup.

Debbie didn't just stick to our pets either. She also offered to water plants and bring in our mail. We returned from our vacation to a home with clean litter, well fed and happy cats, organized mail and healthy plants. Affordable, detailed, local. It just doesn't get better than that. Thanks Debbie for being a #servicestar!
