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.

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. Less

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.

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.

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.

My husband and I are grateful beyond words, so is our Liza, thank you Isahia and Ridgewood K9! Less

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 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! Less

We just got our baby Kahlua back after her 4 week board and train with Isaiah and I’m in shock. He did so amazing with her. When he picked her up, she was a terrified dog with no confidence, no obedience, bad reactivity, and anxiety. We had a hard time walking her which is one of her favorite things because of how scared she was of everything. She’s still the same dog she was before she left, but her behavior has entirely changed. She still is a nervous/anxious dog, I don’t think that will ever change, but Isaiah really helped her manage these issues to where she can enjoy herself and be more confident on a day to day basis and that’s exactly what we were hoping for. It changed our lives and I know it changed hers. If you’re hesitant about the long 4 week board and train, it is very difficult to give your dog away for that long, but it’s very much worth it. Thank you so much Isaiah! Less

I am amazed with the results for my dog. He has all his love and personality but he listens instantly now! I could tell how much love the animals they train by how comfortable my dog was with them when I got him back. Then the education they provide the owner is unparalleled as well! Absolutely a great training program and one I plan to use for my future animals!

Our Stella has been home for 4 days and wow what a different dog she is! I can not recommend Ridgeside K9s enough! Ms Kaitlyn was fantastic with updating me on her progress while she was away for her two week puppy training, and has been just as helpful at her follow up training. My expectations were exceeded!

I know just how stubborn and unwilling to budge he could be before he went to their 3 week board and train program and was honestly worried that he was just going to be to much for Hania, and let me tell you how wrong I was. She was absolutely amazing and was the right trainer for my boy. She provided me with daily updates and pictures and always kept me in the know. After the first day he was there I never once worried about how Jax was being trained or cared for. Absolutely recommend her and any of the Rsk9 trainers to get your dog to be the best version of themselves. Less

Easy 5 star rating! I have an almost 2 year female rottweiler who is truly the sweetest but yet prior to Ridgeside K9 Carolinas, she struggled with obedience and listening to me. It limited what we could do. I knew her capabilities but was struggling to get her going in the right direction. I did a lot of research as she’s my third rottweiler and have been down the training road before. I learned of Ridgeside thru several friends who either had their dog there or was a trainer for Ridgeside elsewhere… but I still hesitated. Until one day I just couldn’t hesitate any longer and we needed some help. I contacted them and after several phone calls I decided to give it a go… and I could not be happier!!! Mia did a 3 week board and train that has literally changed our lives! I own a gym and while she has always been with me every day there, I often had to crate her because she was just “too much” and didn’t quite listen. Until now! She can be in a “place” throughout class on her bed and watch class and everyone loves it! She has learned impulse control so she doesn’t go crazy when people don’t quite say hello to her first. She has been around running kids and didn’t even flinch! And when they came up to pet her, she allowed them and the smiles….it meant the world!! And today we did a hike off leash and she stayed right next to me despite every distraction that you could imagine! To top it off, all of my interactions with Ridgeside K9 has been too notch! They offer a stay and train if you need to later board your dog while out of town. The day I picked her up, I learned of a death in the family. I asked them upon picking her up if I could bring her back just one week later so I could attend the funeral. As a team, they said absolutely “we’ll make it work”! Easy 5 star rating! And I can’t wait to do more with Ridgeside K9 Carolinas!! Less

He has been amazing throughout the whole process and answering any question I have. He definitely cared about my dog and getting her to her best and it showed!

Ridgeside did an amazing job at training our lab puppy! She came back to us a whole new dog ready to listen and please her family.

Amazing amazing. Hania helped change my world. My sweet Maltipoo, Teddy seemed to turn into a teenager overnight. At 15 months he seemed like he could care less about obeying any rules. Being a new dog mom I too had no clue on training him. Ridgeside worked with me to find a trainer for my specific timeline as my vacation was setup for months. Hania took Teddy the night before I was to leave. We met Hania at her house and she explained what to expect for his 3 week off leash training. Hania sent daily photos, videos or notes of his training relieving the separation period for this dog mom. I can not say enough about the positive change in Teddy. He listens, follows his commands and reduced his barking at the neighbors and vehicles. The amazing transformation brought tears as Teddy stayed in place while Hania spent time training me. We have gone to parks, Lowes, Hobby Lobby and are at Freddy's with great manners. My neighbors have had lots of positive comments on his new manners. Two weeks after training Hania spent her Sunday afternoon to refraining me for off leash problems. Now resolved I am happy to say that Teddy and I can play and run in our large yard without running away. I now have a "Teddy 2.0" puppy. Thank you Hania for all your hard work. You are the best; 5 stars and more from this dog mom. I highly recommend Hania and Ridgeside for your training needs. Less

She can also be timid and easily gets scared of almost everything. She LOVES Amy and Amy has been incredibly patient working with her and with us. We needed training just as much, if not more, than Meeko. Each session Amy has explained everything we have been working on, why we are doing it the way we are doing it and has answered our millions of questions. She showed us what to do and when and helped us to understand what to expect as we trained on our own in between sessions. Meeko is a DREAM on a leash now, has so much more confidence and loves to show off all of her commands. She has accomplished things we never thought possible prior to working with Amy. Amy, thank you! We could not have done it without you and Meeko is so much happier! Less

Steve from ridgeside k9 in Jacksonville is AMAZING. First off, Frank our German shepherd loved him. I had always been apprehensive about sending my dog away for a board and train, but Steve made sure we were comfortable and answered all our questions. He made sure to let us know that “he isn’t making a robot” just teaching and refining basic training. I highly recommend Steve and ridgeside k9!

I brought my 7 mo old boxer, Truman, to RSK9 earlier this month; exhibiting not only typical boxer puppy behaviors and stubbornness but he also had a TBI at 2 weeks old so there were additional neurological quirks as well. We were paired with Greg & Ashley. Right from the get go, there were no hesitations from Greg & Ashley about Truman’s challenges, which made me very comfortable. I loved the daily videos showing the care that was being taken as well as the modifications being made for Truman to ensure he still received the best training possible. I cannot express how much I appreciated the outside of the box thinking! When Truman graduated the 2 week excelerated program, he was a completely different puppy! By learning boundaries and a lot of structure, he learned to regulate his emotions, which was not the case prior- partially due to his age and I believe partially to his TBI. Now, he can handle many kids, cats, people, me cleaning the house, anything… he still has his quirks, but they are much more manageable and he seems to be enjoying his days so much more which makes me one proud mama! Thank you Greg & Ashley at RSK9 for being part of our village ❤️ Less

Kaitlin is AMAZING!! I cannot even thank her enough for helping my (very vocal) German Shepard mix become a better version of himself. She send daily photos and videos of what she was working on with our big boy and made sure we understood what to do once we got home.

Excellent customer service, ability to service your needs across North Carolina. Flexible staff and make ur pup (dog) feel like their own. Follow up and availability at anytime to answer questions or concerns after training. Along with per hotel afterwards was a major priority for me and they have it all here at Ridge-side Carolina!

The Carolina team is so so amazing. I had spoke w/someone late last year and lost contact and facility name.

This year we tried to put my pup in a training facility and no one absolutely no one wanted to handle or deal with her or her type of breed. Between Isaiah and Chris they pretty much tag team my Dakota. I wanted her in training by a particular time so we could travel as a family; Isaiah reached out to Chris and of course he accepted the challenge. Bc of distance between Chris and I; Isaiah didn’t hesitate to say yeah I’ll keep her. I feel as if they have accepted “ my wiggles” aka Dakota into the family. Nothing but good things between these to men. Thank you for everything You want be disappointed w/the service. Dakota is a 12th Cane Corso Less

Isaiah did a phenomenal job with our 7 month old puppy. He kept us updated daily and was very clear in his instruction for us. We will definitely take Charlie back once we have worked with him and the tools that Isaiah gave us. Highly recommend Ridgeside K9 and Isaiah !!

My dog came home a different dog. She behaves, she doesn’t jump on people, she listens, walks on a lead, and overall a different dog. Kaitlin was a wonderful trainer I would recommend her to anyone that is looking for a dog trainer. It was well worth the money.

We adopted our dog, Chester from the Grand Strand Animal Shelter when he was 4 months old. He was found along 707 and was only at the shelter for 5 days when he caught my eye! When we brought him home we knew that there would be a lot of work. I don’t know what he went thru the first 4 months of his life but he was afraid of so many things and we felt intense training would help him and help us to better work with him. Although it was hard to leave him for 2 weeks, JaQuasia made us feel at ease when we dropped him off. We were able to get photos and updates and knew he was in good hands. When it was time for him to come home.. JaQuasia spent time with us and showed us the commands and how to walk him and what to expect. She did tell us tho that he would, like any child would, challenge us and we were to stay firm but understand why he was acting that way. Chester is now 9 months old and the most loving and happy puppy!! Both my husband and I were consistent with his training and have a happy and well behaved dog! I honestly don’t think we could have done it ourselves!! We also could ask any questions we had after Chester came home and knew help was a text away!! We have always had dogs but never adopted a puppy that young. I would definitely recommend Ridgeside K9 to anyone who feels challenged with their out of control dog or needs help with how to train their puppy to start things off right. Less

We are so grateful to have found Hania with Ridgeside Carolinas! She worked miracles with our 1 year old lab, Buddy. In addition to teaching him a solid foundation of commands, Hania provided us with the tools we need to continue working with him. She is dedicated to her craft, very professional and her ongoing support is amazing. My only wish is that we had found her sooner ☺️🐶

I never doubted once during those three weeks that my girl was safe and receiving the best care! They made sure to update us daily on her progress, and addressed any/ all concerns. My Roxie had basic obedience before the program, but with the help of Ridgeside (specifically Roxie's amazing trainers!!) she is now able to flourish. Her growth in obedience is astonishing, especially when it comes to distractions. Not only did they train my girl, Ashley and Greg gave me the confidence to continue with her training, and they gave me all of the tools I need so my girl can be successful! The best part is now I am able to grant Roxie off leash freedom that she has worked hard to earn over the last few weeks. She is a beach bum, so she will definitely enjoy her newfound freedom at the beach in the near future! Less

She was overprotective and reactive to all strangers. Training with Chris was our last resort. We enrolled in the 4 week board and train program for aggression rehab. We we’re amazed by the results of this training. Plum is confident and obedient. We have learned so much ourselves. Plum is no longer taking behavior mod medication. The thing that made me happiest was that Plum absolutely loves Chris! He has a calm, quiet way about him that is obviously very effective. I would recommend Ridgeside K9 Myrtle Beach to anyone. Chris and his wife JaQuasia are a wonderful team. Less

Ridgeside K9 and trainer Chris helped my GSD, and especially me! I learned more about my dog, his signs and signals, and how to appreciate what he’s communicating. Bodi’s a better version of himself now and can’t thank you all enough!

So grateful for Ridgeside K9 and for Chris, our trainer. My GSD needed socializing and help beyond what I had been doing, or could do. Bodi is a better version of himself and I got trained too! Appreciate this place and the work and care Chris gave to Bodi.

I also took note of how fit and happy Jazzy was when she came back to us, she was so well taken care of; she even whined when Chris left after dropping her off! I cannot rate this company highly enough for nervous, reactive, or aggressive dogs. Less

I would recommend Ridgeside to any of my family and friends. We sent our newly adopted K9, Coco, for a three week board and train. Isaiah Kennedy did an amazing job with her. We weren’t sure of a majority of Coco’s history, but the biggest things we knew was that she was a tripawd from a previous accident, had reactivity towards dogs and people, poor leash manners, and had selective hearing/listening. Needless to say, Isaiah put in so much time and effort with her that she came home to us as if she were a new dog. Receiving the daily updates of text, pictures, and occasionally calls really helped us not miss our girl as much. This wouldn’t have been possible without Ridgeside and more specifically, Isaiah. All pictures were sent from Isaiah during training. After only two days of her being home she only continues to progress with her training. I would feel more than comfortable to have Coco attend more trainings from the Ridgeside community. Less

If you’re looking for a trainer, look no further. I was extremely nervous to send my dog, Nala, to a board and train program, but it was the best decision I could have made regarding her future. Before working with Ridgeside K9, I had issues with reactivity (growling and barking) when having people over at the house and towards people and dogs in public. Our trainer, Chris, was amazing to work with, and also working with his wife (also a trainer with Ridgeside), JaQuasia. The amount of care and hard work put into training Nala to listen and be more manageable showed when she came home almost as if she were a different dog. She responded and listened to commands ten fold, and I was able to take her out in public with no reaction to other people or dogs, something I would’ve never thought possible. In a controlled setting and on Nala’s time, I can even have new people over to the house with minimal reaction until she is happy to have the attention of whoever will give her any. Chris has been amazing to work with even after Nala came home, working with me on any issues and concerns I had, and helping me build my own confidence that my dog was going to live her best life.

Absolutely amazing group of people to work with!! They took their time with my pup and helped build his confidence as well as his response to commands.

We had such a wonderful experience with our trainers, Ashley and Greg! Our pup, Baloo, is a Chesapeake Bay Retriever/German Wirehaired Pointer mix and a bundle of energy. We knew as soon as we were adding another pup to our crew that we wanted training to be a top priority, and Ridgeside did not disappoint. We opted for one-on-one lessons and were so pleased with our experience! Both Ashley and Greg are informative, knowledgeable, and professional. We always felt comfortable enough to ask questions, to seek critique, and to learn more about how we could be the best dog owners. Ashley and Greg guided us each step of the way, so our job was to simply implement our lessons on a consistent/daily basis. Baloo is just about 9 months old now, and we constantly receive praise for his obedience/training discipline when out in public. He gets to enjoy off-leash freedom and live his absolute best life as a dog! If you’re considering training, don’t hesitate - Ridgeside is the best choice with Ashley and Greg as the dream team!

My husband and I signed up our German Shepherd puppy in hopes of basic obedience and skills that we struggled with in our Golden Retriever. In just 8 lessons Ashley and Greg taught both our dogs off leash obedience, simple commands, and more importantly taught my husband and I to have more confidence in our dogs. We finished up lessons in April, but we still see them for refresh sessions and both pups LOVE staying with them for the stay & trains. This program isn’t a one and done, both trainers are committed to helping us and our dogs for as long as we need! Ridgeside was the best money we’ve spent on our dogs! Less

If you’re looking for a dog trainer, you can stop because you’ve found the ones to use. Greg and Ashley were amazing! We gained so much more than a well-behaved, off-leash dog. Our dog now can go with us wherever we go, with no concerns on how he’s going to do. The commands they teach are easy and effective for both dog and handler. It’s time to make the call.

I enrolled my 4 month old male golden retriever in Ridgeside K9’s puppy university 2 week program. The process from Day 1 with my free consultation through day 14 with his trainer, Hania was absolutely amazing. I was so skeptical of actually going through with leaving Brodi at someone’s house for 2 weeks, Just because I didn’t want him thinking I was abandoning him. When I had my “interview” with Hania she made sure I was super comfortable with the entire process and she reassured me that Brodi was not going to forget who his mom was. From the day I dropped him off to the day I picked him up, I saw the same sweet, goofy boy who was much more behaved. I can now walk with him on a leash without him pulling me down my apartment stairs, he actually stays right by my side in a very relaxed, calm demeanor. When working on place on his place bed, I can walk out of the room and he stays until I release him. He is still a puppy and messes up but we are working through it together with the help of our trainer, Hania! I can’t wait to see the progress between us as time goes on! Thanks so much Hania and Ridgeside K9 for this amazing opportunity!! Less

I highly recommend Ridgeside K9 and our trainer Kristen. We had both of our dogs Airlie and Bo go through their 2 week board and train program. We were really impressed with the results!

We highly recommend Ridgeside K9 and our trainer Kristen. She did an amazing job working with our two dogs Airlie and Bo. We will be using her in the future refresher training and advanced training.

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Kristen and Ridgeside K9! When we adopted our rescue dog, Roxy, we realized quickly she had little exposure to living in a house and limited interactions with people and we needed help.

We went into the 2 week board and train program a little skeptical, but we were pleasantly surprised with the results when she came home.

Ashley and Greg are amazing! They are professional, compassionate, and patient. They went above and beyond in helping us set a foundation of positive behavior for our golden doodle. He's only 6 months and already behaves better than any dog we've had! He's fully off leash and doing recall work. I feel safer and more confident having him trained with RSK.

I’ve had my girl Luna since she was a puppy, but then she made a sudden turn for the worse when she turned one. She became aggressive with strangers, would lunge at people she didn’t know.

I’ve had my girl Luna since she was a puppy, but then she made a sudden turn for the worse when she turned one. She became aggressive with strangers, would lunge at people she didn’t know. I kid you not, even if someone were to stare at me on a walk, she would aggressively bark at them. Introductions to new friends became harder and harder. When it started to become too stressful, I knew it was time to do a professional trainer. Luna did a 4 week training program with Amy located in Wilmington. The results were AMAZING! I had my doubts, thinking that Luna would be that one problem child that doesn’t change. Let me tell you, Luna came back a completely different dog!!! Amy gave me the tools I needed post training, and now I am able to take her everywhere. The best part is, introductions are now easier with strangers :). I get sooo many compliments on how well behaved she is! She walks perfectly on a leash, no pulling, and no barking when sees a dog. Butttt, you have to put in the work afterwards. My parents were so amazed with Luna’s results, they decided to put her litter mate brother Bruno in training as well. Now we have the best trained German shepherds in the family thanks to Amy. It’s worth every dollar!! Also, the trainer works with you post training in case any new issues occur. They are always there for you, which is why I love Ridgeside so much, a billion thanks is not enough!! I’m so happy that I have the freedom to take my dog wherever I want now and not have to stress anymore ❤️ Less

JaQuasia trained my Bella for 2 weeks and I’m so impressed with the results . Would definitely recommend her to train your dog

UPDATE: It’s now been several months since Bosco has completed his training. In the meantime, we’ve had a baby and lot going on. We wanted to be at the recent opening of the new location but we were in the ER with our baby. We can’t wait to visit the new facility though! I feel like this review needed an update because the work that Greg and Ashley put into Bosco has continued to shine! They’re amazing. Ashley is easy to reach whenever I have questions and I love following her on social media to pick up little tips and tricks (and also for all the cute dogs). The other morning I was walking Bosco and along the way, three dogs barked and lunged at Bosco. The entire time, Bosco stayed right by my side in a heal and didn’t react at the other dogs. I felt bad for the other dog owners because they were being dragged around by their pups. This is just one example of how Bosco’s training continues to show. As a family, we are so grateful to Ashley and Greg and we look forward to taking Bosco to the pack walks once things settle down! ************ Ashley and Greg did a wonderful job working with our 9 month old St Berdoodle! The process was extremely professional from the start and they continue to be responsive to any questions we have since bring Bosco home from the three week course. He is a much happier pup now that he has structure. They did a great job with turnover at his graduation and gave us the tools to continue his training at home. I love the support they provide and the care they took with our boy! I look forward to taking Bosco to refresher classes and the pack walks they organize! Less

I had such an amazing experience with Greg. He took the time to go over things with me when I was having issues and made sure I understood! Costa’s behavior has improved so much and I’m so grateful.

I sent my boy to Ridgeside for their 3 week off leash program. I got him as a very high drive 2 year old who literally had no off switch. My trainer was Steven and wow did he work wonders with my boy. All of my concerns were addressed, I was updated on his progress whether good or not so good, and I felt comfortable knowing my baby was in terrific hands. They truly care about your doggo. I’m confident my boy knows what he’s doing now. He responds to corrections and gets super excited when the prong collar comes out. (He knows he’s about to go on an adventure). If you need help with your pup I would highly recommend you reach out to Ridgeside. They respond quickly, get you scheduled and are very sweet. Once the training is over they continue to be available if you do have a question or an issue. They also do pack walks which is a wonderful way to maintain training and exposing your dog to new things. And more importantly… you get taught more too! I can’t thank Ridgeside and Steven enough for everything. What a fantastic team of people. Less

Mika does not have an aggressive bone in her body but, she was very fearful of kids. In my opinion a fearful dog is scarier than an aggressive dog. I sought out Ridgeside K9 after my friend had her dog go through the program. I was paired up with Kaitlyn and was very reluctant to let her go for three whole weeks. Kaitlyn the trainer answered any questions I had constantly and would send me pictures daily. I knew that Mika was in great hands. I highly recommend the whole Ridgeside team, especially Kaitlyn. Her passion is training dogs, and will love and treat your dogs as if they were her own. Thank you for everything Kaitlyn and Ridgeside! Less

Cierra was a fantastic trainer who taught our then 4 month old puppy basic manners and commands and set the tone for the rest of her life. Cierra also equipped my wife and I with knowledge on how to keep up the training and how to ensure we stay on track. I couldn’t recommend Cierra and the rest of the Ridgeside K9 team enough.

I honestly feel like I got back a whole new dog! We can finally go places again and explore trails without me being pulled up the mountain or down the gravel. I can finally trust him to stay put when the front door is wide open and I'm bringing groceries in. There are so many small things that he is capable of now and I have felt a huge sigh of relief for that. I can rest easy knowing Winslow is reliable in his recall and can be called to my side at any given time. Walks have been actually nice and relaxing whereas before they were an absolute chore. I feel like I can finally enjoy our time together again! Thanks a million Libba! Not to mention the INCREDIBLE photos sent daily 😍. Less

Hania was amazing with Sage. She was so patient and worked through all her quirks to help Sage gain confidence and learn obedience. Hania has been great about checking in to see how we’re doing post graduation and continuing to help both of us learn.

Absolutely wonderful. Amy took great care of our little Ru and turned him into such a gentleman after we had struggled for months with another trainer. Her and Ridgeside continue to be the most supportive and effective trainers even after Ru's board and train was over. It has been the best decision we've ever made!

Mabel went into training already knowing basic commands, but we were having problems with her reactivity (barking) to other people and dogs in public. She would also pull me on the leash when I would try to walk her, and had a few house manners she needed help with. Meeting our trainer Kaitlyn for the first time at drop off, I knew immediately that Mabel would be in the best hands. She is a great trainer and has a great personality. I immediately was at ease when dropping Mabel off to her. Mabel didn’t even look back at us when Kaitlyn took her inside. We received daily updates from Kaitlyn with pictures and videos. It was the highlight of our day to see her improving and looking very happy! Going into Lowes with her would have been a definite no for us and something we couldn’t even dream of doing. To see her progress through videos was awesome to see, but nothing compared to being able to see how she was in person. She walked calmly beside us, with hardly any nerves, and was able to completely ignore and walk past people! I was shocked! We brought home a completely different dog in the best way possible. She is still the same loving dog, but has great manners now. We cannot thank Ridgeside and Kaitlyn enough!! Cannot wait to take Mabel on outings now! Less

My husband and I were at wits end with Hero, our 6 month old Shepherd mix. He's a rescue from the streets of Puerto Rico and a real handful. As first time puppy owners we were not prepared for this sweet bundle of energy, no social manners little fella. I knew he needed professional help to become the companion we wanted, but it was hard to come to grips that I would have to leave him with someone for a few weeks. So I Called Ridgeside K9 who hooked us up with trainer Amy O'Donnell right away. Amy was a God send!! Our first meeting I knew right away I could trust her to train and care for Hero as if he was her own. 3 weeks later Amy came to our home with Hero in tow. What a difference! She spent all afternoon "training" us on how to continue working with Hero. She was happy to answer any questions we had and assured us she would be there if we had any questions in the future. Can't beat lifetime support! I can actually take him for a walk without being pulled around the neighborhood. I also know how to calm him down when he's amped up. So many other positive changes and we owe it all to Amy. She loves what she does and it shows through her work. Love ya girl! Less

I just imagined them calling me and saying she was too crazy and I needed to come get her. She used to jump, bite and destroy anything she could get her mouth on. Every bit of training I tried with her myself was not working and to be honest my sanity was slipping. I was starting to think we wouldn't be able to keep her. She is so smart and loving we decided to invest and found the best trainers around! When Justine started working with Bailey we were shocked. I had to ask her if that was the same dog I handed over to her. Within three weeks Bailey wasn't jumping, biting, digging, destroying things, and we were able to trust her for the first time ever! We now take extremely pleasant walks and I know if I ask her to stay in place I can drop chicken right in front of her and she won't budge. We can be around other dogs, family/friends, and especially children. We have three small children so that was extremely important. Bailey came back to us with impulse control, manners, the ability to calm herself and listened to every No we said. While she was with Justine we received daily pictures and updates and sweet encouraging words that made us excited to get her back! Justine was always quick to respond to texts or calls when I had questions (believe me I had a LOT!). Justine was kind enough to "train" me, my husband and our three children on how to help Bailey continue to succeed. We got her back just before Christmas and knew that would be the ultimate test. She was an angel, everyone was saying how amazing her training and trainer must have been and they were right! We have been so thankful for Justine, even after Baileys training was completed. We are invited to pack walks, she has brought her dogs over to go on social walks and she has done training refreshers when I forget what to do or we have a new behaviors to address. The support we have received from the moment we contacted Ridgeside K9 has been outstanding and to know they offer lifetime support gives us great peace about out happy future with Bailey! Thank you Justine for being the amazing woman and trainer that you are! We know how luck we are to have you in our lives now! Less

Cooper did training with Steven for three weeks and he did an awesome job with him! Before Cooper went to training, he constantly was pulling on the leash and tended to be very stubborn. After getting Cooper back, he listens better and does a lot better on and off leash along with other commands. Steven was also great with keeping in touch with us and giving us daily updates with great photos.

Big shout out to Ashley from Ridgeside. She treated my dog Sauce as if he was one of her own. While I was away for a couple weeks she made sure to keep me updated with pictures and videos of how Sauce’s training were going.

Our 1.5 year old boxer (Fiona), went with her Trainer Steve for the 3 week program, and she's a new dog! He kept us updated on her progress with photos and videos. She was terrible outside, she seemed like a "bad dog", BUT now she's the best, we walk without pulling, she doesn't lose her mind when people cross our path, she sits, stays, comes when called, she heels, and stays in place!!

My 2 y/o dutch shepherd attended a two week board and train with Amy and there aren't enough words to describe how grateful I am. My dog had some reactivity issues towards new people and moving cars, making leaving the house unpleasant and stressful. The thought of leaving her in someone else's care was terrifying to me until I got to meet and talk to Amy. Amy took such great care of my girl and I saw a huge improvement in the confidence level of my dog, making every day life so much easier. Not only did she invest in my dogs confidence, she supported me as a handler and worked hard to help the relationship between my dog and I reach it's full potential. I'm so glad I found this company and I look forward to working with them in the future. Less

Greg Hunt trained my 3 year old rescue pitbull and the results have me stunned. This was a huge commitment for me as I do not trust many people to handle my dog. I struggled for years with his terrible leash manners and extreme reactivity on walks. I could never take my dog in public. Now Buster walks in stores and in our neighborhood so well and has a newfound confidence I didn’t know he was capable of. Greg was patient, thorough and focused on educating the owners. I truly believe he built a bond with my dog to help him learn to trust another person. He has been communicative and knowledgeable about everything I’ve asked. I am so pleased and feel like I got a brand new dog. I can’t wait to keep up with the training, it has become a new passion of mine! The price is worth every penny. Less

I had justine as a trainer when i dropped storm off, she did a fantastic job fixing her puppy habits!!! Definitely recommend, storm has learned so much from her.

RidgesideK9 did a phenomenal job laying a solid foundation during my dog’s 3 week board and train. Prior to training, I knew what I had to do to train my dog, but the foundation wasn’t there. Sending my dog to Ashley for 3 weeks was the best decision I ever made. She came home still her normal spunky self but was significantly more obedient. We can now enjoy each other’s time together in the house or outside and I don’t have to worry about her pulling on the leash and running off, jumping on the countertops, or jumping on guests. I would absolutely recommend the 3 week board and train program to any puppy or dog who needs either a foundation built or a little discipline (mine was 5-6 months old when I sent her). The price was hard to swallow but all the benefits you get after training are well worth it. Less

I was updated constantly and not always “he is doing great” etc, telling me what I want to hear, but honest feedback on what he is struggling with and what he isn’t. They did a full run down of his training for myself and my husband and taught us how to handle him. They have even met me publicly to work on an issue I felt we were struggling with. I am asked how we are doing almost a month after graduation. They offer lifetime support and have a weekly refresher that, unfortunately due to schedule issues, I have not gotten to attend yet, but plan on doing so. I practice what we learn consistently and I still ask my trainers for help if I am not certain. Today I was complimented on how well trained and behaved he was in a public store. The employees all took a moment to say they don’t see that often in his breed and asked where he was trained especially due to his age. Very pleased with how well he is doing and how well I am doing cause at the end of the day, Ridgeside may set up the tools but we have to utilize it properly. Less

Talked with Austen through message, was very nice! great service and great prices and programs! Would recommend!!

So far have only booked puppy for December training. The staff have been extremely good at contacting me and answering questions. They had the trainer call me to discuss. So far so good.

We were about out of patience with controlling our 11 month old Boxer-Lab mix! His temperament was nothing like our previous 2 Labs and found ourselves in over our heads with his hyper energy and lack of attention to train. We called Ringside because they had 5 star reviews. It didn’t take long to find out why! From the initial phone call with Ashley, coordinating the drop off with Hannah, and the trainers Greg, Ashley, and Justine, we were encouraged with their knowledge and confidence on how they could help! During the training we received daily updates, pictures, and videos on his progress from Hannah! This was so helpful for the Family to hear how he was doing and that this was working! When the scheduled training was near the end, they extended him another week at no extra charge to make sure he was ready before coming home! At his Graduation Day, we received the most professional, one on one instruction with the trainers! This included indoor exercises with him, outdoor trail walk with and without leash, then finished up with a walk through a very busy Lowes on a Saturday! Can’t imagine a better training program out there, with all the tools they provide, explanation on why the commands work, and the lifetime support! This place is AMAZING!!! Thank you Ashley, Hannah, Justine, and Greg! He’s a been totally different Dog since coming home! You guys are the Best!!! Less

My wife and I decided to send our 2 year old pitbull to Ridgeside and the results were beyond what was expected. Family walks used to be a struggle with pulling and barking at other dogs, but now he's a gentleman who stays right by my side and is able to go even off leash. Highly recommend for anyone who's even considering training. It is worth it and more!

Wonderful training and follow up. Highly recommend

We had a wonderful experience with RSK9. Both of our dogs now have the foundation and confidence to be able to make walking more enjoyable and time at home more peaceful. Our trainers kept us in the loop and still are checking up on us as weeks pass, always available if we have questions or issues arise. Thank you Hannah, Ashley, and all of the folks at Ridgeside!

From the day Angel, our first female Doberman, joined our family at 9 weeks old we knew we wanted more for her. We could tell she was extremely bright and very driven but we knew we didn’t have the time to train her to be her best. We started searching and found Ridgeside K9. We put Angel in the 3 week board and train at 5 1/2 months. Everyday we received pictures and videos or texts updating us on how she was doing and what she was working on which my little kids just loved to watched. She went from nipping at legs and not listening, never sitting still, couldn’t walk on a leash, unless you wanted to be dragged of course, to the most amazingly obedient, kind, and wanting to please puppy that you could find. The best part is that the staff spent sooooo much time with us at the facility, in the park, and a store to help ensure we knew exactly what we needed to do to keep her training going. Oh and it doesn’t stop there! We continue to receive texts asking how Angel is doing and they are on call should you need to ask any questions. Plus they offer lifetime additional training once a week with other pet owners and even a park walk! I mean you couldn’t ask for a better relationship with the ones that trained your pet than Ridgeside K9. We highly recommend them for all of your pet training! Less

We had a trip planned this summer and we’re unable to take our 4 month old pit mix (Pinkie) with us. We knew we were going to have to board her, and after some searching we found the 2 week puppy board & train program. We were on the fence about it since she was young and we were unsure if she was just being a “puppy” or her behavior could be corrected. The receptionist was VERY informative & we were more confident that we would see a positive behavior change. Once we were in touch with our trainer, Haley, we knew we were making the right decision. She was informative, professional, patient & kind. We easily set up drop off & pick up times. She confirmed with us prior to drop off. She was so welcoming when we went to drop Pinkie off and answered any last minute questions. She told us exactly what to expect and how often she would check in with us. She did exactly what she said she was going to do and it eased our minds knowing (and seeing!) Pinkie was in such good hands. When Haley brought Pinkie home after the two weeks, again, Haley was very informative, knowledgeable and patient. When Pinkie came in and went to her “place,” we were amazed. No jumping, no barking, she listened and responded to Haley so well! It was like magic (lol). She walked us through all the commands and allowed enough time for my husband and I to practice with her too. She reminded us to take advantage of the three additional lessons that were included in the package and told us it is as easy as just sending a text to set up. We are blown away by the professionalism, knowledge, kindness & results! I would 100% recommend to any puppy/dog owner without any hesitation at all! Pinkie has been home a week with us after training and is still doing great with all the basic commands, leash walking and socialization. Our two year old is even working with her. We are very, very satisfied. Less

Christina trained our baby girl Bonny when she was a puppy and did an amazing job. So now we are sending Biggins and Bonny to the off leash training with Ridgeside. Excited that Christina is training them both and what they we’ll be like when they return!

Christina did an amazing job with our puppy (Belle). She sent us picture and video updates often which really helpful with her being gone for two weeks so we could see all her progress. When she was done with training she was very patient and sweet in teaching us. She continues to check up on her and encourages us to continue with training! I would absolutely recommend Christina and Ridgeside K9!

From the second I got my puppy, their first response was happiness & excitement for me & they jumped right into fitting us into the best training package for me & my pup! I’m Incredibly thankful for all that I have learned already & for what we will continue to learn in the future! Thank you Ridgeside k9 NC, I couldn’t do it without you all! Less

Chris was wonderful with Scout. She sent frequent texts, pics and videos showing progress throughout the training period. She was also excellent with us teaching us commands and how to continue the training. We are very pleased with RidgesideK9 Carolinas and highly recommend them and especially Chris!

Can’t recommend them enough! The trainers are so knowledgeable and truly care about your animal as if they were their own. We chose the 3 week off leash board and train for our GS, & he came back a totally different dog! We got daily updates with videos and pictures! He had a rough start due to him being so stubborn and his anxiety, but once he opened up, the results were amazing! He defiantly st... More

Can’t recommend them enough! The trainers are so knowledgeable and truly care about your animal as if they were their own. We chose the 3 week off leash board and train for our GS, & he came back a totally different dog! He lacked basic manners & didn’t know how to relax at all. He defiantly still has his moments, but our family is so glad we decided to work with Ridgeside K9!!

Went on our first walk since being picked up yesterday and it was the most relaxed and confident walk I have ever seen her on! I can't thank you all enough for w... More

Will, Greg and Hannah were so helpful with training Basil. Sending her to Ridgeside has truly strengthened the bond I have with my pup. She attended the 3 week program and came home a nearly perfected version of herself! I can now take her on hikes everyday without stressing about her pulling & jumping. She is now disciplined and extra focused on me instead of distractions. I would recommend Ridg... More

A huge thank you to Will, Taylor and Hannah! You guys have helped us so much with our Aussie. He was a bit out of control and I felt like I was getting nowhere with him and his reactivity. Chappie came home a different dog, he hasn’t had once reaction since being home and that’s thanks to you and your team for giving us better communication between me and Chappie.

A huge thank you to Will, Taylor and Hannah! You guys have helped us so much with our Aussie. He was a bit out of control and I felt like I was getting nowhere with him and his reactivity. Chappie came home a different dog, he hasn’t had once reaction since being home and that’s thanks to you and your team for giving us better communication between me and Chappie. He’s also much better in the house and we can finally have guests over and he will stay in place calmly the entire time! I will be forever grateful and I wish we had found you guys sooner! Less
