We highly recommend this training program.

Given the stereotypes some people have of pit bulls, this was really important to us. We are delighted with her progress and will continue to consult with Julie to make sure that Abbey retains all she has learned. It might seem expensive, but we were away for a 2 week vacation, and just boarding a dog for that length of time isn't cheap. Our vacation turned out to be beneficial for Abbey as well as ourselves.

We recently adopted a two year…read moreold German Shepherd who was well behaved in the house but a true terror to walk on leash (pulling and severe reactivity towards other dogs). Controlled K9 came to our home to evaluate her and recommended a four week board and train to work on basic obedience, leash manners, and off leash recall. We loved that she was taken in as a member of the family during her "boarding school," and they provided regular photos and updates on her progress throughout. She returned to us her same happy, sweet self in the house, but basically a new dog on leash! The Controlled K9 team trained us on how to continue her training, and remained super responsive to our follow up questions. It's incredible to see the transformation and we're so grateful to the Controlled K9 team for changing our lives - and Zoey's - for the better!

I saw Petco in the distance and made my way here. I already knew I was going to get her a cat tree and was prepared to do some heavy lifting and take as much time as needed to put the thing together. I wandered for a bit in here, actually got distracted by the dogs here for obedience training and went the long way to get to the area that held the cat trees. I was literally right next to them but did a loop around the store before realizing it. I took some time to look over the types they had and was grateful that they had some built and on display so you could get an idea of the size. The sizes are listed on the boxes, but sometimes a visual cue is more helpful. Decided on the one I wanted to snag and went to grab a cart to load it up. Once loaded I headed to the registers. Here is where it got a bit muddled. I was in line and this lady just decided she would jump in front of me because she thought since she was going over the dog treats and it was there it was obvious she was in line. No lady, if you are browsing, you are not in line to pay. Whatever, check out and keep it moving. Once to the register the guy asked me for my phone number to look up my rewards number. I told him it and he said it wasn't in the system. Odd, because I have been shopping at Petcos for nearly two decades. Luckily I had the card stored on my phone and that brought me up. He told me the number that was used when I registered way back when and, lord, that was an old number. He went in and changed it really quickly so the next time I wouldn't run into that. Once I got home, I had to put the cat tree together. Once together, my now adult cat (if we look at it in human years) had her own apartment inside my apartment. Why not? She's grown now and she deserved her own place. She is loving here new, high up perches and naps quite a lot.

Ridgeside was recommended to us by a neighbor with a very well mannered dog. We have a 4 yo…read moreBluetick Coonhound that had a few issues that we couldn't get past on our own. Initially we checked out the Ridgeside Instagram account and then after contacting them for additional information we decided to sign Flossie up for the 3 week board & train program. We were given our trainer's contact info in case we had any questions or wanted additional info prior to the start date. Gina picked up Flossie and for the next three weeks we got pictures and videos every day of Flossie's training progress plus also information for us to learn about the training. All of this made the transition back home easy and seamless. Gina's instructions were clear and concise and she also made sure that we understood the hows and the whys of training. Since Flossie has been home Gina reached out to see how things were going and said she was available if we had any follow up questions. We are very happy with the outcome and feel the training really firmed up our loosey goosey training up to that point. Gina gave Flossie the foundational training she needed in order for us to meet our goals with Flossie and we couldn't be happier with the outcome.

I can't say enough good things about Brandi and Perry Bailey of RSK9. Their work has given my pup…read moreand I so much freedom and balance. Pebbles (blue heeler, 1.5 years old) would never listen to me, would not sit or lay still, and had a lot of other obedience issues that caused her to be stressed or confused. She was a TOUGH dog to train and I was concerned I couldn't find the solution for her to get basic concepts. This view has completely changed since working with RSK9's 3 week program. I would HIGHLY recommend them and their methods - you can tell they genuinely love working with dogs and it's made a huge difference in giving my dog the chance to find real rest at home. They send DAILY updates with photos and videos which was so nice. This isn't a regular class or something you just pay for; it's truly an investment that you and your dog will be using for the time you get to share together. Side note: it's worth doing 3 weeks versus 2 weeks. At the 2 week mark is when Pebbles really started to understand her marks and cues. From here there is so much more that can be refined and Brandi/Perry really capitalize on that threshold being crossed!

We went into the course with a dog who was very reactive to kids, other animals and strangers, constantly pulled on the leash, had little focus when others were around and was an avid jumper. After completing this course he has come back a completely different dog, with all of his previous issues being resolved. Over the 4 weeks he was with Ashley we received constant updates with videos and photos of his incredible progress. She also took him on multiple field trips for exposure, which was extremely important for Axel. She makes sure to fully get to know your dog, their specific challenges and tailors her programs specific to your pup and their needs. She also takes the time to make sure the owners are comfortable, confident and completely ready to continue the training at home. We would 100% recommend Ashley with Balanced Cainine to anyone for a knowledgeable dog trainer who will go above and beyond for you and your pup!!
