Testimonials
“Can’t say enough about Ridgeside K-9 and the job they did with my dog (85 pounds male lab mix). I was nervous about some behavior issues he was having (resource guarding) and also wanted to get more control/confidence with him off leash. My dog previously would not listen off leash and wouldn’t let strangers near his food is now disciplined, comfortable, and always around me when off leash. The 3-week board and train is worth the investment!”
– Greg S.
“Absolutely 5 stars! Nicole and Ridgeside K9 were awesome through the entire training. From the moment our 16 week puppy entered Nicole’s home, he new she was in charge and instantly loved her. 3 weeks later, he was calmer, listened better, had great leash control, and new who was the leader. Nicole treated him like family and was incredibly helpful in giving us tip and techniques to continue training. I look forward to sending him back to Nicole and would recommend her whole heartedly!”
