We have now used Stefanie Suddeth twice and she has been nothing but wonderful for us. She trained our 4 month old GSD puppy 1st and Willow has great manners. She just finished our 3 year old female GSD/Mal with confidence building and recall. Both dogs are doing great,highly recommend! We will continue using for boarding as well.

We love Isaiah! He has done a fantastic job with our puppy Jack. The follow ups are helpful to us and to Jack. We feel we couldn't have done it without him.

Isaiah Kennedy & his fiancé Katlin took great care of our 18-month yellow lab Charlie during his 2-week board & train camp. Since his return home, Charlie (while still a spirited lab puppy) is much more focused and getting better every day at responding to the commands & skills he learned at camp. We highly recommend Ridgeside and especially Isaiah for training enthusiastic dogs.

Hania has turned our wild boy into the best listener! Little rebel no longer pulls on the leash, knows how to heel, and even walk off leash. Thank you, Hania!!

Isaiah from Ridgeside K9 is AMAZING 🤩 My pup Sascha is a very smart dog, but I am blown away by what we've been able to accomplish in such a short period. Please consider him if you or anyone you know is looking for training.

Highly recommend Ridgeside k9. We sent our 9month old Belgian Tervuren to the 3 week obedience and off leash training. Kaitlyn was our trainer and she is awesome. She sent us daily pictures and videos of Fury's progress. Best decision we made for our boy and for us. Thank you Ridgeside k9 and especially Kaitlyn ❤️

Isaiah transformed our terror of a dog into a fun, well-behaved member of our household. He communicated with us daily on Marvins progress, giving us peace of mind and reassurance we made the right decision on handing our baby over for a few weeks. Isaiah is not only a dog connoisseur, but a friend we call family.

Loki has learned so much with his trainer, Isaiah Kennedy and we can’t say enough good things about the experience. Isaiah has been wonderful. He kept us informed throughout training on a regular basis and it was fun to see Loki’s progress. Can’t wait for the next training and appreciate Isaiah so very much. Loki is on his way to bring a very well trained member of our family.

After interviewing many trainers we found relief chatting with Isaiah. He was friendly, experienced, patient & listened to our concerns. We were comfortable leaving our pup with him for a 3 week off-leash board & train program. He communicated throughout that time span & kept us informed. We were (& still are) happy with our experience & the results! Highly recommend Isaiah!

Isaiah was able to get a 12 year old dog to change her ways. Great teacher of both dogs and owners. I highly recommend him.

Isaiah worked with our dog Nova and there has been a fantastic improvement in her confidence and ability to obey commands. He was honest and forthright throughout the whole process. You do NOT want a trainer who is just going to tell you what you want to hear, you want a trainer who will set you up for success. I feel like we had that with Isaiah. He went out of his way to be available and work with our schedule. Our situation was a rather unique one and I felt that Isaiah did his best to accommodate us in that way. Would highly recommend him to current and future dog owners.

Isaiah Kennedy is the best. 100 percent improvement on our dog's behavior. Constant communication was really helpful and had answers for all of our questions.

Did a three week board and train with my Australian Shepherd, Gracie. Isaiah Kennedy was the trainer and he did a fantastic job. He kept great communications the entire time with texts, phone calls and daily pictures showing the progress Gracie was making. The turnover with Isaiah was a couple of hours, both in public and at our home with our other dog. He was thorough in covering the handling and commands with Gracie. The difference in her behavior has been amazing. Very pleased with the results Isaiah had with Gracie. Thank you Isaiah and Ridgeside K9 Carolinas (Jacksonville).

Isaiah was amazing! My 12 month old German shepherd pup was full of energy that was way out of my control. I felt at a loss for what to do. From the moment he called me to chat about the problems I was having with my pup, he put me at ease. Isaiah updated me with pics, videos, and phone calls throughout the training process. He was so easy to work with and I trust him completely. When I finally got to see all the progress he had made with Ares, I was more than impressed! This training is well worth the money spent and I am so happy with the results!

We were so overwhelmed by new puppy life when we started with Isaiah, but he truly gave us the tools we needed. After completing puppy university with Isaiah, walking our puppy went from something we dreaded to something we look forward to every day as a family, listening to basic commands like a pro and so much more, we truly felt our puppy become a part of our family and anxiety subside. Isaiah continues to check in with our family even months later and we are so excited to continue our training with him. We wouldn’t be where we are without Isaiah and can’t recommend him enough!!

We adopted a beautiful rescue dog, Liza with a Z! She is so sweet but was impossible to walk, very aggressive in her playing, and difficult to manage. Enter Isahia Kennedy from Ridgeside K9. He came to our home and we saw before our eyes how he could manage her. He felt she was a great dog, but a true stray with no experience in a home. We ultimately took advantage of the 3 week boarding training program. She came back a new dog. Easy to manage, a dream to walk, listens to commands, and still as sweet as she can be. My husband and I are grateful beyond words, so is our Liza, thank you Isahia and Ridgewood K9!

Isaiah did great with my Roxy girl. She went for the puppy training and that laid out the path to where she is almost off leash

I highly recommend Ridgesidek9, my only regret is wishing we did it sooner. Winston was a rescue puppy who was scared of everything. I had tried puppy obedience, socializing, taking him in public and nothing worked to help him gain confidence. It was quickly becoming a problem as he grew out of puppy stage and into adulthood, his fear turned into aggression and unpredictability. So we signed him up with Isaiah for the 4 week board and train. Isaiah was amazing, giving me updates, pictures and videos daily on Winston's progress. I think one of my biggest concerns was that Winston would come back changed and unrecognizable. He came back to us even better. He still has his goofy personality but with added confidence and a desire to obey quickly. When we go on a walk my hand is no longer sore from holding him back from people, dogs, or other distractions; our time out is enjoyable. Best of all, I feel confident in being able to bring my buddy with me in public without fear of how he will react. Thank you Isaiah, for everything. You are amazing!

I have struggled with my reactive border collie for 7 years and had gotten to the point of just avoiding people. I decided to try training one more time (4th time) and sent him for a board and train with Chris in Myrtle Beach. The progress Chris was able to make with him is amazing. He will never be an overly friendly dog, but I am able to anticipate and control him now and it makes all the difference in the world. We are both calmer and happier. Thank you, Chris!!
