After 3 weeks with Top Notch Canine, he is so much better behaved! He will go to and stay on his "place" which he seems to actually enjoy vs. being crated so that I can get things done around the house. He will sit and stay there, even outside, until I tell him to come. He can walk by other people/dogs outside without causing a huge scene. Reagan picked him up and dropped him back off at my home, which is a huge benefit. She was able to come into my house and see how he acts and talk with me about my concerns. When she dropped him back off, she was here over an hour teaching me how to give commands, walk him, and use the e-collar. Before sending him to training, I was trying to avoid using an e-collar, because I didn't understand it's purpose when used correctly. With my dog's personality, none of the ignoring bad behavior/giving him treats for good behavior worked. After Reagan trained him with the e-collar, the vast majority of the time, I only have to use the tone feature, which feels exactly like a cell phone buzzing on vibrate. It works so well to quickly get his attention and correct his behavior. He's been home from training about one month, and I've only had to use the "static" button about 5 times, this is the feature that actually gives a shock, and I've used it when he starts nipping at people to quickly let him know that it is not ok. I was also worried that doing an intense training like this would alter his personality, but he seems to have genuinely loved his time at training, and he's even scheduled to go back for boarding when we go on our next vacation. This is also a HUGE benefit. A lot of other boarding options basically leave the dog in a kennel for their stay, unless going out for a bathroom break. I know that he'll have such fun and love being in a home environment and socializing with other well-behaved dogs while we're away. I'm so glad that we made this investment and now have a dog who is so much better behaved, and getting better every day. My girls LOVE being able to sit on the couch and pet him, and he is content to sit on his "place" or just be in a room with me (I work remotely from home) during the day without causing chaos. He is obviously still a puppy and sometimes makes bad decisions, but now I feel like I have the knowledge and tools to correct him and to better enjoy having him as a member of the family.

I have dropped off my dog with her several times now and I think about the 4th visit or so, my dog knew where he was going and jumped out of the car and made a beeline to her front door, tongue out, tail wagging. He likes to cuddle with her which is an excellent sign because there are only two people he loves to cuddle with: my husband and my father in law.

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.

They offered me service dog training, with the first step being the puppy class (1800.00), then my puppy could move on to learn service work (a total of 4500.00). I am disabled and was grateful they offered this service. After puppy training, I met with the trainer (Andy), who does not listen and will not let you speak. He talked over me multiple times, and also told me my puppy was only partially trained and I would do the rest at home. Oh, and he forgot to work on recall. These folks were hired because of my lack of time to train my dog. I was shocked. Andy took my payment and then finally, after an hour of listening to his ranting, where it seemed he did not breathe between sentences, he brought me my puppy who I hand been missing terribly, (they declined to let me visit), who was very clean, but mostly untrained. Then I was told she was not fit for service. Andy could not explain it other than to talk about 7 lanes on a highway? I then began a panic attack and he kept talking (I have panic disorder which he knew). I had mentioned I needed help with being alerted to low blood sugar. He said it was nearly impossible and he would have to collect vials of blood from me multiple times a day. I asked how the other dogs were trained for diabetics. He did not know. I looked it up when I got home and learned Andy knew nothing about the subject. Saliva is what is used by service dog trainers. I believe he declined to train my dog because he does not know how. During the course of this fiasco, Andy mentioned how dirty and matted she was when they gave her a bath. He told me she arrived that way, which is untrue. She had been washed and brushed prior to drop off. I believe she got that way in their care (or lack of care). If you use this company to train your dog, I recommend recording ever interaction. The owner Mike, later denied me being told they would not train Sunday (my puppy) because of her young age. Lies come pouring out of their mouths. They scammed a disabled person. I am planning to take legal action. I sam certain they will make a reply too this and lie more. Feel free to look me up. I am a respectable local business owner.

Dr Chris Buckner administered the first shot. In Barron's entire 16 years of life he never had such ABUSE. Such horrific pain, , He cried so loud in pain. I didn't know he could be so loud. Pure abuse , pain so great in his last few minutes of life. When he went to sleep he still had the look of pain on his little face. For one thing it isn't necessary to do a 2 shot process and I talked to several since that had to have pets put to sleep and non of them went through what Barron had to endure at the hands of Buckner. They had one shot and died peacefully. I would not bring a cockroach to this office for treatment. I would like Buckner to feel the same depth of pain he made Barron endure. I can't begin to tell you how awful that experience was. No I would not even give them one Diamond, you don't have a choice, it automatically puts one D. in. Rosalyn Betts
