The vet would t recognize their puppy shots they already had. She insisted they needed to be redone. once all the puppy schedule was Redone. I told them which of the other dog vaccines I DIDNT want them to have. The vet ignored me and gave them to the puppies anyway. I was t informed they were given. until leaving and they gave me the bill. I continued taking the puppies for their check up. Once they were old enough. I wanted to have their rabies shots done. The vet kept saying next visit. This went on for multiple visits. I ended up having to take all 3 of them to tractor supply pet clinic to get their required rabies shots. Later I called and wanted to make an appointment to have them spayed & neutered. I was told they can't come in to the hospital to be spayed and neutered until they get about 5 or 6 other vaccines from them. The only required vaccine is a rabies shot. So I asked the person on the phone if I could continue bringing them for their regular checkups. The woman on the phone said " yes, definately " so I said I can bring them to your clinic, but you won't spay or neuter them until I give in, and give them a slew of vaccines they don't need. She actual said " yes that is correct. I then told her to remove us from their registered pets. We will never return. this vet withheld their rabies shot all for another visit. Not considering what the puppies needed. Puppies need to start grooming at a young age g age to get accustomed to the noise and the procedures. I wasn't able to take my puppies even to a groomer, because this damn vet would t give them a rabies shot until she could bleed me dry. my Biggest mistake ever, was going to Santee animal hospital

Wonderful people who are very professional, friendly, and helpful!…read more I have a number of feral cats on my property and I am doing trap neuter release (TNR) to stop the cycle. The staff at Santee Animal Hospital have been very very helpful and accommodating to get me appointments for treatment. I feel the fees are very reasonable, and they do rabies shots, flea treatments, and a general wellness check. The first of what will probably be six or seven has gone through it, and she was very happy to be back home. She's the sweetest one and easiest to catch. You'll notice in the pictures that the tip of her ear has been removed. This is a sign to anyone who catches her that she's already been fixed. My next challenge is to trap and treat the rest of them. Wish me luck!

Wow! We dropped off our dog 3 weeks ago and picked up a different dog today.....Shonnah is amazing,…read moreour dog listened and did everything she taught him. Every night like clockwork, Shonnah sent us videos of what she was training our dog to do. We got to see the improvement almost right away. It's up to us to keep the discipline consistent so he behaves the way she taught him. My 9 year old son has full control of our dog, my son is so happy with his buddy!! Shonnah worked with us when we picked up our dog. She was took her time and walked us through everything, we didn't feel rushed at all. We wouldn't trust anyone else to train our dog, they are the best! I can honestly say you won't be disappointed.

We completed training with Ridgeside K9 Summerville about a year ago, and I intentionally waited to…read morewrite this review so I could speak to the long-term results. One year later, I can confidently say the training has been truly life-changing for our dog and our family. Our dog was found on the streets and came to us with deep trust issues. He was fearful, reactive, and even bit our trainer twice early on. Despite this, Tara never gave up on him. Tara approached his training with patience, structure, and an incredible understanding of behavior. The training covered obedience, off-leash work, board-and-train, and behavior modification and the results have lasted. Today, he is a confident, well-trained dog who trusts us and can safely navigate real-world situations. The foundation they gave us continues to hold strong, and we regularly attend group training sessions to reinforce skills and keep him progressing. What truly sets Ridgeside apart is the owners. Their support doesn't end when training does. They are always available to help work through any challenges that come up, offer guidance, and genuinely care about every family they train with. You never feel alone in the process. If you're looking for trainers who deliver real, lasting results, especially for dogs with difficult pasts. I cannot recommend Ridgeside K9 Summerville highly enough!

During my newspaper days, I coveredover100 bird dog and retrieve trials. I never met a more knowledgeable trainer than Ray.

Mr. Jingles and Ray clicked as did I. Great things are on the horizon under Rays guidance. Don't believe me?

Some how this was taken down so I wanted to repost…read more Hopefully this review will shed some light on Webfoot retrieves and this trainer Ray. I worked with Ray on and off for almost two years. It started off well, (my money was green) but the more time went on the more toxic it became. I want to share my last interactions for you. This spring (2020) with junior hunter trials coming up, I asked Ray if my dog was ready. "Leave him with me for a few weeks and I'll have him ready". So Ray's fee, $600 later, $187 entry fee for Junior Hunter trial, and Paying Ray $300 to come with me I received a text the Night before the trail telling me my dog was not ready.... At this point I told him I was going to pick up my dog and go anyway. To this Ray informed me I should probably come get my dog that night because he was having troubles with diabetes almost slipping in and out of comas... I drove up at 10pm and picked up my dog, who smelled terrible by the way. Once I got him home I gave him a bath to find out he had a huge HOT spot on his foot that looked terrible. Ran him over to the emergency vet to be treated... My dog was so "off" and terrified... So in my mind Ray had health issues and instead of telling me this he let my dog rot in a crate doing damage to himself. This caused issues between me and my family. I felt guilty and flat out bad for my dog. I called Ray to express my feelings. He asked me to come up and talk. Against my better judgment I went. After our "talk" he took no responsibility and blamed it on his health. Again, against my better judgment we went back for training. I felt empathic for his situation. However I told him my dog would never stay at his kennel again. We trained a few more sessions but it was an awkward relationship to say the least. Finally we had a disagreement after a training which was a long time coming. After a few days I reached out to see if we could work things out. He ignored my calls, texts, and emails for 2 months now. He finally responded today with the following message: "I was hoping that you would catch on that I did not want to work with you anymore. But if I have to spell it out I will. This is not up for debate. Last year you trashed me to your family and friends but you still want to train with me. That took away about 90% of my desire to work with you. This year your harping about things that happened a year ago and you don't want to follow my training instructions. That ended the other 10%. Also you keep taking a dog hunting that is not ready and making things worse. I wish you good will but I have no desire to train with you again. " The fact that he does business this way is appalling. Instead of being a man and saying what's going on like he preaches on other reviews on here.. He did this, he make this situation... SMART... Let's break this down. Why would I bad mouth him and continue to work with him?!? I think he's confused. But better off this way. I ended up taking my dog to some hunter trials and dock dog events recently. When I brought up Rays name I heard so many colorful stories about him: "He's a hands on old school trainer" - I've witnessed this first hand and wasn't sure what to do. "My friend sent a puppy to Ray for training, puppy was killed by another dog" -Total Shock "Ray got busted breeding a clients dog without their knowledge" -Wow This is the tip of the iceberg. He has a terrible reputation. Go to an event and drop his name and you'll see. There are others that have had similar experiences. Ray's personality is dog sh*t. Ray once had me call Multiple places for ducks because "They won't sell me any" I wonder why... I feel for my dog and I hope this is a warning to you and will save you from the heartache I went through. I think you can find a trainer that takes much more responsibility, understanding and is overall a better person.
