I've done it all here & can say they are the best hands down. They LOVE what they do & it shows from the moment you walk in to the moment you walk out. I would HIGHLY recommend Ridgeside you won't be disappointed. More info for those that care: We found out our new puppy was going to be delivered while we were out of town & we had no one in town to help us. I was freaking out. I didn't know what to do and the people delivering our new puppy were not willing to accommodate a different time to deliver our puppy. I was in a bind and they agreed to help us. We were brand new to their business & planned to board and train her at Ridgeside so we asked if they could help us and they agreed to go VERY out of their way to help us (they had to take multiple calls to arrange so many different things they even had to wake up very early in the morning & agreed to have my puppy delivered to their own house to make it all work out for us. I couldn't believe it, I was in a bad spot and they really helped show up for me & my lil pup which they didn't have to do. On top of that because my puppy was still young and hadn't had all of her shots she wasn't able to be around the other dogs at their facility (which was a good sign to me because jt showed they really care about the health and safety of all the animals they board) so they arranged for one of their staff members (Erica, who was also amazing) to watch our puppy at her own home and train her. Erica sent pictures, videos and updates during the 2 week puppy training which was really nice as well. The owners & the staff have been nothing but amazing.

I rescued my girl, Ruby, in December 2018. Ruby had been adopted once and returned to the shelter…read morebefore she picked me out of the people who were looking at her. We got off to a pretty good start at home. House training was quick and basic "sit" and "down" commands came fairly easily to her. Ruby is a Lab/Pit mix and I mistakenly diagnosed as aggression what actually was resource guarding. I've had dogs constantly for over 30 years and have done pretty well with basic training on my own, but this whole resource guarding thing was new to me and I knew that I needed real help by someone who understood Miss Ruby. I am so thankful that I met Scottie Greene. His approach of training the trainer, as well as the dog, was exactly what Ruby and I both needed. I used to have to keep her on a 30 foot lead rope when we went outdoors at home, to give her room to have a little bit of freedom to play. Now, she gets to go outside and run full speed ahead with no lead and without the e-collar. She loves being able to run freely and I love seeing her happy. I can now take Ruby anywhere with me and she behaves like a perfect dog. (I may be a bit biased, but I'm convinced that she IS a perfect dog!) Ruby's last training class was at a restaurant with Scottie and his wife Karrie and 2 of my best friends. With the exception of our group and the waiter, I don't think that anyone else in the restaurant even knew that Ruby was under the table. We have since gone on to get Ruby certified as an AKC CGC and Urban CGC dog. I can't say enough good things about Scottie, Karrie, and Sandra. They are all top notch trainers. If you want to have a dog that is truly your best friend, that TRUSTS YOU to be the leader of the pack, Rocky Top K9 can give that to you.
