Very impressed with first class. Trainers are extremely attentive and supportive. Learned a lot in short amount of time. Nice calm environment with care taken to keep all dogs comfortable.
Friendly and very competent staff. Would definitely recommend!
We have a 2 year old Golden Doodle who is energetic and loving! I was having trouble with her pulling me when walking and at least twice has pulled me to the ground, once breaking my shoulder. That’s what led us to K-9 Solutions and they have been fabulous! Everyone there are great to work with and they have trained our girl so now she walks by our side, sits and stays.

We have a 2 year old Golden Doodle who is energetic and loving! I was having trouble with her pulling me when walking and at least twice has pulled me to the ground, once breaking my shoulder. That’s what led us to K-9 Solutions and they have been fabulous! Everyone there are great to work with and they have trained our girl so now she walks by our side, sits and stays. We can have her place on her bed when someone comes over instead of jumping on everyone, it’s been a game changer! The cost for the board and train was so worth it! Thank you K-9 Solutions!!! Less
The trainers are knowledgeable and train the humans as well as the dogs. We have really enjoyed group lessons.
I HIGHLY recommend Modern K9 for their dog board and train. I am always nervous entrusting someone else with my dogs, but am so happy I chose Modern K9. They know what they are doing and are very good at it. Mojito (my 100lb rescue pittie) was treated as if he was theirs. I was sent daily updates- photos, videos, slideshows- to show his progress and to help with being away from him for 3 weeks. I... More
I HIGHLY recommend Modern K9 for their dog board and train. I am always nervous entrusting someone else with my dogs, but am so happy I chose Modern K9. They know what they are doing and are very good at it. Mojito (my 100lb rescue pittie) was treated as if he was theirs. I was sent daily updates- photos, videos, slideshows- to show his progress and to help with being away from him for 3 weeks. I struggled with getting Mojito to follow any command and had been beat up by him due to him not knowing his own size and strength (bruises, scratches, busted lip, chipped tooth). It is like night and day now that Mojito is back home. He is still his same self in terms of personality, but has much better impulse control and continues to follow commands as I continue to do the at home training a little each day (maybe 10-15 minutes is all it takes). He is much more calm, and because of it seems much happier. As am I! It might seem pricey up front but is well worth it, Modern K9 is invested in their dogs for their entire lifetime. I have already booked my 2nd dog for a 3 week board and train. Less
Great detail to training. Corrected our dogs bad habit within first hour of training. Gave us Great tips on how to continue training and keep our pup on a good course.
All of the trainers here are extremely caring and helpful. I take my pup quite often, and honestly, this place has made my dog and I a great team! He is in protection, tracking, and an awesome family pet! Thanks to these guys helping to train, not just my dog but me too! Highly suggest anyone taking their dog to them for anything!
Me and my dogs have been coming here for bite work for almost 2 months. The amount of coaching and knowledge with all the trainers and decoys is incredible. I have learned so much! The positive environment and great people make it even better and worth the drive.
Tommy and his staff have never been anything but honest, helpful, and supportive. Training here is the highlight of my week!
Our rescue pup Daisy took part in a 2 week training program. Everyone at Modern K9 is so passionate about what they do! Daisy came back to us with so many tools that we can continue to help her grow into the best dog! She has been back for classes and boarding and I can tell she absolutely loves it there and is so well taken care of! I would recommend Modern K9 to anyone with a pup!
Tommy and his team have been great. We sent our pup to him for a 2 week board and train and has made a huge difference in our everyday lives. We have been back several times for various things and have been able to ask questions, we are always met with patience, enthusiasm and answers to our questions. So glad they are here!

Our dog Frankie was reactive to every human and animal other than our immediate family and the neighbors dogs. After he bit my mom, we lived in constant anxiety and panic, waiting until the next inevitable accident. After a few trainers came and went with little success, I found Modern K9 Solutions and sent Frankie off to their boarding school. The day he came home, he added my sister in law to his approved human list, but I still had a lot of learning to do. Frankie, and the whole family really, needed more practice before we would see real results. Dogs are easy to train, it’s the humans sometimes that need more work. So we just stayed consistent, with a few tweaks here and there from our trainer. Then, something switched in Frankie, and every person that came in our home seemed to be on the approved human list. We are still practicing caution and sticking to our training, but I just can’t believe we are at this point. We’ve had a house full of 7 or so teenagers, a party of a dozen friends and family, and I didn’t have to correct him once. Zero reactivity. I cannot wait to see what the future holds! I don’t think there’s a dog issue they can’t solve. I recommend them to everyone everywhere. You could have the most hopeless case and I swear they will fix it. I think one of the best parts for me is that I have support for life as part of his package. So I can bring him to training and get help when issues come up for the rest of Frankie’s life! That kind of support is unmatched by other trainers! We are thankful for Tommy and his amazing program! So is Frankie! Less
Everyone at Modern k9 Solutions are very knowledgeable in all aspect of training. My dog was not easy, and he had the types of behaviors that would have had many trainers turn him away. Not their trainers, they worked through his issues, taught me how to handle him correctly, and I came out the other end of training with a better dog, and me a better trainer.
We opted for private lessons to train our lab/pit mix girl, Gabby. Since then we had a training refresh more for us her! We have Had countless compliments on how well Gabby acts. She’s has a sweet disposition and responds to the positive methods of Tommy’s guidance and instruction. Modern K9 Solutions was the best investment me made to train our Gabby!
Group classes are fantastic! Last class the owner ran the class to address individual concerns and questions. After seeing how my pupper responded to the suggested corrections he lent me a prong collar and now her behavior is like night and day! Highly recommended for any obedience training.
This guy had our rescue for one month. He brought her back to us banged up and she still would not do a crate or potty trained. He would not answer calls as we got the package that included lifetime follow up. He is such a diva. He thinks we should beg him for follow up. He didn’t return my calls and is a jerk online to me.

I have 2 boys Fergus and Finlay, both 2 years old. Fergus the younger one had fear reactivity at other people, cars 🤷♀️ and other dogs, we has been living a controlled life with him as it was stressful, we did 4 week board & train with him, 2 weeks board & train with Finlay so they both trained together and came home together, so happy we have the tools now to continue to grow their confidence and ingrain their behavior. They are so excited when we get ready for their daily training session’s they love them, they are both improving so much already I cannot wait for future adventures, my only regret was not doing this last year when I had the chance lol. The follow up lesson at home was very key to our success. I swept, mopped and vacuumed for the first time with Fergus in the house 😱😂. I totally recommend Modern K9 Solutions, because of their help I know we will get to a stress free future now. My only critique is communication as this to all seems to fall to Tommy. Less
They trained my very stubborn and reactive Cane Corso . She was reactive to other animals as well as displaying fear aggression. Now she listens to commands which helps with being less reactive. Our big girl is listening so much better now!

Great dog (and human) trainers. We foster for a rescue and they have worked with tons of those dogs as well as 2 aggressive dogs we foster to adopted. They get it done when many others have failed.

In our area, any type of aggression can pose grave danger for the dog, so our worst fear was having to rehome Stitch and he does not survive. However, Stitch did his board and train, and with him came home tools we all needed to really allow Stitch to stay and thrive in the home with us. The thing that sets Modern K9 apart for any other trainers is the aftercare with board and train packages. Most trainers will milk your pockets till they are empty with little to no success. Not Modern K9 they truly are here to help us with Stitch even going forward after the board and train and that makes them the only trainers, we will confidently recommend to anyone with any issues with their dogs! My only critique is that a lot of the customer communication falls on Tommy and with how much their business has grown and will surely grow it might be time to hire someone who only does customer communication. That will eliminate struggles to reach you guys and will allow all the trainers including Tommy to keep working hands-on and being awesome! We honestly believe that you not only saved Stitch, but you also gave us the tools to ensure our cats' lives are safe as well. We thank you for saving our family of fur babies!🤩🐶 Less

Modern K9 Solutions is absolutely amazing and essential. Tommy and all his staff are top-notch. Keep up the amazing work you do.
Great team who works to help train your dog to your specific needs! Always available for advice if needed. Ongoing training available too! Great place to take your dog!

Modern K9 Solutions has helped both my dog and myself live a life without so much stress and anxiety. Getting my dog at 3 years old from a shelter, he came with a fear reaction towards other dogs and very high anxiety. I have spent the last 5 years worrying and stressing trying to keep him safe as well as other dogs. My stress and fear also came after a few fights with other dogs and feeling like I couldn't trust anyone else to take care of him because he was so reactive. We were codependent. Modern K9 Solutions was truly a solution we needed. With their 3 week training he has become less anxious and we now have to tools to be more successful out in the world. It was hard to leave him for those 3 weeks. Bawling my eyes out as they took him back, I wanted to call the whole thing off. But I knew I couldn't do this on my own and that he needed a better life without stress. It was difficult but it needed to be done. Getting pictures, videos, looking on Facebook, and even tiktok. It gave me the peace I needed. They were more than willing to answer when I needed it and they did an amazing job at training me when I was time to get him back. They will never leave you high and dry. Thank you so much. Highly recommend. Less
I cannot say enough about ModernK9 solutions and Tommy the owner. After raising Rottweilers for many years, I thought I had dealt with some of the most stubborn breeds ever!

I cannot say enough about ModernK9 solutions and Tommy the owner. After raising Rottweilers for many years, I thought I had dealt with some of the most stubborn breeds ever! Boy was I mistaken......my wife rescued a "Hybrid" Dalmatian\Lab mix, wow...just wow.....talk about energy\uncontrollable. After 2 weeks Tommy returned a completely different dog! Still gets fired up, however, the best listening dog I have EVER owned. He stated "we will teach her boundaries but we won't break her spirit". If you're on the fence about using ModernK9 just do it you will not regret it. Here is our super confident Trudy before and after! Less
Just got my goldendoodle back from a 3 week board and train program. So far so good! They were so kind when i bothered them throughout her stay asking for updates. Im super happy with the things she was taught and the patience they had training me at pick up.
Amazing trainers and amazing dogs is what you will find visiting Modern K9
Tommy and his team do a great job! I am thankful to Tommy for helping us find Malli and train her to be a family member!
I brought my dog to Modern K9 Solutions and I was so impressed on how much they care and how knowledgeable they are. It's like a bunch of Cesar Millan's, the famous dog trainer! My dog loves coming and still does when we attend Saturday morning lifetime classes that come with the training fee!! What a great resource!!

Choosing Modern K9 solutions is definitely one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. In fact I am so satisfied with them that I absolutely believe that choosing any other dog trainer is a poor choice and anyone would learn to regret it. From the results to support to their understanding of dogs…like where do I start…Top three…my favorite is the results. When our dog went for his first round of training it was because he wouldn’t listen. He thought he was the boss. He gave my husband hell because he constantly wanted to nip at him and challenge him. We decided to commit to the second round of training because our dog became super reactive to other dogs because other dogs ran into his yard and also ran out of their yards right into his face whilst on walks. The reactive behavior that followed made me unwilling to socialize more because of fear of what might transpire and my lack of knowledge in how to handle it. Modern K9 solutions not only understood how that negatively affected our baby, but told us why and explained how to counteract it. Another plus…the owners Kayla and Tommy have a complete understanding of dogs. All dogs. Not just one certain breed or one certain negative behavior. They truly understand all breeds and all behaviors….and our personal trainer was Keara…I also cannot brag on her enough either. She sent me insightful updates and pictures. And my baby looked so happy in every picture which put me SO MUCH at ease. I know all of their trainers are amazing, but I liked Keara so much, I wanted to request her again….so if you have a baby that is in need of training…go Modern K9 Solutions or go home. They are truly a no bull***t company who does nothing but deliver results. Our relationship with our dog, especially my husband’s, is night and day from even a month ago. Dogs want to please their owners and owners want to love their dogs…if you have unwanted behaviors from your dog, this is the company to trust. Less
Our Boxerdoodle was a mess. We had tried other trainers, training him ourselves- no success. After spending two weeks at Modern K9 Solutions our pup is a great pup. Don’t waste your time elsewhere. Go first to Modern K9 Solutions.

Best around.. hands down..
Took our rescue puppy (Husky-Shepard mix)there for a 3 week training course. Not only did we get a well behaved dog back, but our puppy is so much more loving, it’s hard to explain. I would highly recommend Modern K9 Solutions. You will not be disappointed. Lifetime warranty. Plus, they board dogs and train them.
Overall good people who care about the dogs. Would recommend.

Once we added an other puppy to our family, it took some time before we could send her to them. In the mean time, they answered every question I had for over a month. I finally signed my girl Luna up for a 2 week board and train for the first weekend of September. We picked her up on the 17th, and we were amazed at how well she did! She listened so well to us, and we didn't have to repeat over and over a command for her. It was even better when we took her outside and walked the shopping plaza with people around and my son was able to keep her by his side the whole time. I can't wait to continue her training at home and doing group lessons. We are working our way to Luna getting her CGC and who knows from there, but I am going to make sure that Modern K9 Solutions is a part of her growth with us. Less

I wanted my adult dog to accept the new puppy I bought for my husband. My dog went from biting the puppy to playing with the puppy. He just had to learn that he does not have to be the boss and to let the parents deal with the puppy. Modern K9 Solutions saved my family.
WOW! If you and/or your dog are struggling we HIGHLY recommend Modern K9 Solutions, our trainer was Keara. My husband and I have two dogs, a 4yr goldendoodle and a 1 yr old mix, as well as two kids 5yr and 2yr.

WOW! If you and/or your dog are struggling we HIGHLY recommend Modern K9 Solutions, our trainer was Keara. My husband and I have two dogs, a 4yr goldendoodle and a 1 yr old mix, as well as two kids 5yr and 2yr. We sent the mix when she was about an 8 month puppy first because she has resource guarding issues and we weren't sure how to deal with it. We were on the verge of giving her back to the humane society if we couldn't find help because of the severity and unsureness of what if a kid decided not to listen and messed with her when she had food. She went for two weeks to learn the basics and work on her resource guarding. When she came back she was like a different dog. Still has some guarding for really high value items but overall WAY better, and most importantly, we feel equipped to handle her now. And when something new pops up we can ask how to best approach the situation! She does AMAZING with her basic commands and is just overall calmer. Then after we got her back we decided to send our other dog. He was a great dog at home, besides his barking. But would get overly anxious and excited when we went places. We hated going places because he would pull so hard and bark and jump when he got too excited, but did it for exposure and to give opportunity to work on the behavior. He also went for two weeks. He is so much better outside the house now! He has learned how to control his excitement and still listens to us to help him out. My mother in law even commented on how much better he is now, it is like a different dog! We are very satisfied with their training and it makes going out as a family much easier! We love that both dogs have the same standard and that we have the ability to reach back out if/when something happens and we need more help with it. Less

Tommy helped us find the PERFECT dog for our family! Then our new pup went through 2 weeks of in board training, and he is the best, most well behaved dog ever. He transitioned to our home immediately. He’s confident, easy going, and loves his humans! I can’t recommend them enough!
Wow! Just wow! In 3 weeks our little buddy came home a different dog! Amanda did amazing work and kept us informed every day with the progress. Thank you! We’re excited about what lies ahead….again…Wow!!

Great experience with Tommy and the gang! I could see the difference in Patch with every video posted. When I first rescued him it was a dangerous trip home because he was all over me in the truck. After his training he was very calm, stayed in the back and just looked out the window I can't wait to keep working with him!
Great experience. Tommy and his Intern are awesome. Our dog had some issues on severe anxiety and a Lil bit of aggression. Now it's like a totally different dog. We don't know what we would have done without you guys. Thank you so much. Our dog Sammy is do confident and acts like a dog and is fitting in great at home.

I had my 2 year old lab Waylon in an aggression program with Tommy for 2 weeks. Waylon had a hard time leaving his home setting but Tommy quickly built a relationship with him and the training began. When leaving Waylon had very little training. When Tommy brought Waylon back home I quickly noticed a difference in Waylon’s personality and then going over all of the commands Waylon learned only wowed me more. He’s already made a tremendous change because of Tommy and Modern K9. When Tommy came to drop him off we sat down and thoroughly went over everything before I was able to see Waylon. Went over every detail about his program and went over all questions I had. Then he reintroduced me to Waylon and went over all of the lessons taught 1 on 1 and then introduced my other pup back to Waylon and went over everything with both of them together. I 100% recommend Tommy and Modern K9. They put their everything into these dogs and it shows! Thank you guys for all of your hard work and we very much look forward to continue working with you guys!

We sent Hank to Amanda for the 3 week board and train program. Hank lacked confidence in new situations and was reactive with new people. When we got Hank back we could tell an immediate difference with his level of confidence. Hank is like a new dog! Amanda gave us all the tools we would need to continue Hanks training! Thanks Amanda!

I can't say enough good things about Amanda and how well she did with Dixie! Being 8 years old, we were afraid that it was too late for strenuous training and how well she would do, but boy were we wrong! We received multiple daily updates with pictures and videos of how well she was doing and picking up on commands quickly. To give a little background, Dixie was very dog reactive and barked constantly at new people, dogs, and while in the car. She was not able to be without a leash as she would run off each time. However, that has all changed thanks to Amanda! Dixie now has the skills to follow basic commands, have off leash recall, and took her first car ride with us today with little to no barking, even with multiple people walking near the car. We still have some work to do, but we are over the moon with the results! Highly recommend Amanda and Modern K9 Solutions. 🐕 Less

We found out our 8 month old Lenny was deaf after having a difficult time with normal “puppy” training at home. Having ZERO experience with a deaf dog, we sent him to Modern K9 for a 3 week board/train with Tommy. He came home a changed dude! He was trained with a vibrating collar to get his attention, and this tool alone has made a HUGE difference in the way we’re able to communicate with him, in addition to using hand signals as commands. He responds immediately and with attention every. single. time. Before, we were anxious and hesitant to do certain things with him, since he can’t hear us call him or give any commands. Now I take him places confident he will be safe, and I am able to control him in places full of distractions. His road might be a longer one because of some mental challenges he might have, but I’m impressed every day with his improvement and willingness to learn even more! I’m so grateful for the help we’ve received for him to have a better relationship with us, and our other dog. I can’t recommend them enough! Less

First photo is day 1 with Lola who YANKED & PULLED on walks, refused to listen & howled at other dogs walking by. After 3 weeks with Tommy, she is a respectful, obedient little nugget! We were taught how to properly use her E collar & Tommy even made my husband & I hold the prongs while he buzzed US so that we knew what we were using on our dog. She jumps up & down out of excitement when she hears us turn her collar on because she knows it means she gets to go somewhere off-leash & she responds immediately to a 2/10 baby buzz IF she doesn’t respond to just the tone first. We would not be able to grace her with this freedom & trust if it weren’t for the combined forces of Tommy’s elite training & the amazing Garmin collar. We are so lucky. Had she kept behaving the way she did when we adopted her (7 year old dumped abused dog), we would not have been able to keep her. I’ve had dogs my whole life & this stubborn, LOUD pitbull was like anything I’ve experienced before. She goes with me EVERYWHERE now, is so polite & an absolute ambassador for the brand. We constantly hear “your dog is so well behaved!” & we COULD not have done that without Tommy’s expertise. Tommy & Kayla are dog magicians & treated Lola like their own fur child while she was under their care. Highly recommend. Less

We were on the verge of having to re-home our dog, he had gotten aggressive with our 2yo child, had no manners, and his hyperactivity mixed with no structure was physically destroying our home, and with our second due in just a few months we were scared and running out of options. We have never had to board a dog before, so board and train sounded very scary to me. Kayla spent an hour with me on the phone explaining to me every detail about their program and reassuring me my pup would be in good hands. Keara was our trainer, and she was excellent! When I met her for the first time dropping our pup off I knew she had a love for dogs and he would be well taken care of. We got almost daily text updates with pictures and videos of his progress. She did in 2 weeks what we had been trying for months to do. Our in home lesson really blew us away. She explained everything we needed to know, showed us how to do things, then had us do everything and coached us along the way. We are very happy with how he came home, and are even happier knowing if he starts to fall back into old ways they will help us get him back where he needs to be. The price is steep for good dog training, but you can't put a price on getting to keep your beloved family member and knowing they are happier with more structure in their lives. Less
They are amazing! Complete brought out the best in my dog! Would highly suggest them to anyone they truly care about the dogs they see!

When I first got Candy, she had been in the shelter for over a year in an outdoor kennel with mesh fence directly next to dogs on both sides of her. So, when she came to me reactive to other dogs and terrified of thunderstorms, it was unsurprising. We would be out in public and if she saw another dog she would bark/whine/growl to the point of shaking if she wasn't actively yanking on the leash to get to the other dog. Our neighbors let their dogs out off leash and oftentimes they'd wonder into our yard. One day that happened and Candy had managed to get out and go after them. Thankfully they only had minor scratches, but from then on, I was ALWAYS looking over my shoulder whenever taking her outside. Integrating her into our pack was a challenge and I could never leave her alone with them for fear of something happening and setting her off to try and dominate them. I tried multiple trainers and thought muzzle training and a life of solitude would be the only solution for Candy. Then I met Tommy and Kayla through the shelter I work at and saw first hand what they could do with aggressive and reactive dogs. It was quite literally a miracle. I then had hope that maybe they could turn things around for us. My other dog passed in May and I was desperate for a fur bud to keep me company in public. When I started my lessons, I was told Tommy couldn't work with us because it was his off day I had selected, but one of their other trainers would be working with me. I met Keara the second week and not only did she give me the tools to work with and handle Candy under stressful situations, but we really clicked and had a good dynamic in our lessons, often putting Candy and her dog Storm in situations I never would've thought of. I learned it was super important for not only Candy to enjoy training, but myself as well as dogs are super intuitive. Now, Candy can go into Petsmart and have dogs surrounding her or walk through a farmers market and pay no attention whatsoever to the passing dogs! I can take her to the local cafe to have lunch with me or to an gathering with my church and not fear her coming upon another dog. She and I are confident and connected in ways I never dreamed possible! And what's more- I'm able to apply these concepts to the dogs at my shelter in similar situations to help make them more adoptable. I totally and completely recommend Keara to anyone needing help. Keara is available to her clients whenever they need her and is always punctual and ready to work! She is friendly, personable, and explains concepts perfectly. I cannot say enough good things about her. Consider requesting her for training when you apply for lessons with Modern K9, you WILL NOT be disappointed! Less

Modern K9 Solutions is by far the best choice I have made when it comes to my dog. I have a Cane Corso that is almost 2 years old, and due to the pandemic I couldn’t socialize him like he should have been socialized. He developed some aggressive behavior and I knew I had to find a professional to help both my dog and myself. As someone who researches everything as much as I possibly can, especially when it comes to my dog, believe me when I say “look no further” if you’re looking for training. The communication is top notch. No questions go unanswered, you’re updated frequently, and don’t ever go without pictures of your dog and details of their progress throughout their training. I have had my dog back for less than 24 hours and the difference is life changing. The quality of my dogs life and mine has improved in ways that I only imagined in my wildest dreams (literally). The support you get even after your dog has completed training is the best. I could go on and on, but hopefully you get the point! Less

So there we were....looking into the most wanting eyes ever. We rescued a 2yr old Weimaraner that we would quickly learn had really been neglected on the training side of the house. Our boy is super smart but we just had no idea how to approach training our wild child. Enter Tommy... from the start Tommy was very professional and informative. His statement up front, I have to train you guys more than I do your pup. Trust me though, he will be great upon his return. Sure to his word, we were in utter disbelief how well our boy listened. Tommy sat with us late into the evening going over everything they had worked on. Fast forward to present. Our boy is probably one of the most well behaved pups in the neighborhood. We go run and hike off leash probably 95% of the time. We still work on all the homework we were provided by Tommy, as practice makes perfect. We have begun tracking training based off a few additional lessons provided by Tommy. Lastly, with Tommy you not only will get a trainer but a friend who will help you through any challenges your fur baby may have. Less
Tommy trained our GS Thor and he is an amazing dog now. We didn’t get him out often as he had some reactivity but now he listens and walks amazing on leash. The picture is of him in a down at the end of our driveway while my husband talks to the neighbor.

Tommy is absolutely phenomenal! He truly cares about the dogs he works with. After training with Tommy, I have a much better relationship with my dog and still find it hard to believe how well behaved she is.
One of the best in the business. You get what you pay for in the quality for sure. Don't hesitate or think twice about hiring this company. The training benefits both dog and owner equally.
Amazing trainer who takes time to perfect a plan for your pup. Tommy is in a league of his own
Great problem solver and trainer!

I then took her to a reputable "trainer" who mishandled her during the evaluation making her worse, and I was at a loss of what to do next. I was headed out of state for a week and felt I may have to re-home my dog if other people couldn't safely handle her. Tommy came through immediately and saved our relationship. He took his time with Vayda to gain her trust instead of forcing himself on her, unlike the other "trainer." We both have a lot more confidence in each other which has led to a better life for my pup. Our relationship has grown so much and she is definitely a happier dog. She loves Tommy and has no fear of him so I know her treated her very well. And Vayda now has lifetime support from someone who definitely knows what he's doing. Any issues, I'll 100% trust Tommy with all of my future doggos. Looking forward to our fun future with Modern K9 Solutions! Less
So Tommy trained my boy Stealth and he has been the best dog I’ve ever had. Well mannered, doesn’t go crazy. As a veteran Tommy understood my needs and trained Stealth for that. And went above and beyond. I would highly recommend him.
Tommy the owner is and real down to earth trainer. Not there to judge you are your dog, just to help.
Favorite people, great trainers, down to earth and easy to work with!

Tommy did a great job of getting my dog ready for protection work.
Tommy is the best trainer! My puppy went through the board and train. When we got her, he called to schedule follow up training. We had 3 follow up training sessions. Now, 10 months later, we are having some issues. I contacted Tommy. He offered advice, and homework, and scheduled us for a training session.
Best trainer in St. Louis! I have a low confidence pup that Tommy did wonders with. I couldn’t ask for any better quality of training. He had a natural passion for what he’s doing and a lifetime of training support included after the fact. Amazing guy doing unbelievable things with amazing out comes! Will be a customer for life.
Tommy is wonderful! I have a young, rescued Belgian Malinois, Vayda, who is fearful of men. I discovered she also had fear-based reactivity to anyone when I wasn't with her when we went to doggie daycare. I then took her to a reputable "trainer" who mishandled her during the evaluation making her worse, and I was at a loss of what to do next. I was headed out of state for a week and felt I may ha...

Tommy is wonderful! I have a young, rescued Belgian Malinois, Vayda, who is fearful of men. I discovered she also had fear-based reactivity to anyone when I wasn't with her when we went to doggie daycare. I then took her to a reputable "trainer" who mishandled her during the evaluation making her worse, and I was at a loss of what to do next. I was headed out of state for a week and felt I may have to re-home my dog if other people couldn't safely handle her. Tommy came through immediately and saved our relationship. He took his time with Vayda to gain her trust instead of forcing himself on her, unlike the other "trainer." We both have a lot more confidence in each other which will lead to a better life for my pup. Our relationship has grown so much and she is definitely a happier dog. She loves Tommy and has no fear of him so I know her treated her very well. And Vayda now has lifetime support from someone who definitely knows what he's doing. Any issues, I'll 100% trust Tommy with all of my future doggos. Looking forward to our fun future with Modern K9 Solutions! Less
I've only worked with Ridgeside one evening but am very excited to go back. Tommy did an evaluation on my dog and was very easy to work with. I have a special need (hard of hearing, waiting on new hearing aids) and we spoke about it. Tommy was aware and accommodating throughout the evening. He layed out a gameplan and gave me a direction and things to do at home on my own. I well definitely go ba... More

The Ridgeside STL team is in my opinion the best team in the nation. They make sure to bond with the dog to gain trust and response. I have called them numerous times for help and now Titan is doing great. I highly recommend them for real world training and to help make you and your dog the best team possible.
This trainer is fantastic! Obedience, tracking, personal protection and more, they’ve got you covered! A few months ago, I adopted a dog from a local rescue who was labeled as a dangerous and aggressive animal that needed immediate help. Ridgeside K9 STL took him in and started on his training straight away. My dog is now one of the most loving, curious, obedient and FUN dogs I have ever met! I w... More

Super happy with our first round of training with our puppy! Can't wait for round two!
Tommy truly takes each individual dog’s needs and tailors his training program to them. When our pups are being trained they are learning, just as Children need to learn in their own way so do dogs. The care and time he takes putting into each dog is astounding.

Tommy truly takes each individual dog’s needs and tailors his training program to them. When our pups are being trained they are learning, just as Children need to learn in their own way so do dogs. The care and time he takes putting into each dog is astounding. What I love best about his training packages is they come with LIFETIME SUPPORT, and ALL of the training equipment you will need to manage your pup and grow your partnership. As a client you also have access to the best boarding available! He continues training while you’re dealing with life or on vacation, so your pup isn’t just sitting in a kennel and getting walked a few times per day. My dogs Rax and Remi have come leaps and bounds past what I ever thought possible. Thanks Ridgeside K9! Less
Contacted company and someone text me right away. Person said he was training but would contact me in the afternoon. Last I heard from the company and it’s been a couple of days. Will update if someone ever calls me back.
Never used them. Talked to the gentleman and was told what the recommend training for my dog
Absolute best trainer in St. Louis. I have the best dog a man could ask for. Tommy helped me create a bond with my dog that can never be taken away. I plan on more training services in the near future.
Thanks for your help with Duke!!!!!!!
