Testimonials

“Ridge K9 transformed my reactive rescue dog. After just 3 weeks of board and train, he walks calmly on leash and no longer lunges at other dogs. Worth every penny!”
– Sarah M.

“The trainer took time to understand our family’s lifestyle and created a plan that actually worked at home. Our puppy is now well-behaved and happy.”
– James T.

“I was skeptical about training, but the positive methods made all the difference. My senior dog learned recall at age 9 — I never thought it was possible!”
– Linda R.
