He is already doing amazing at just a little over 3 month old thanks to her. Their positive reinforcement approach really helps with his stubborn Chowski breed, as we want him to be confident and sweet. We can't wait to continue to work with her and eventually get him started on water sports they offer training for.

We are so incredibly grateful for Angelica! She is hands down the best trainer and dog therapist…read morewe've ever met. As seasoned dog owners, we've always been successful with our training methods--until now. Our current dog has different needs and Angelica helps us to understand them and build a deeper connection. Angelica has been unbelievably patient, not only with our dog but with us as well. She takes the time to teach us how to be successful just as much as she works directly with our fur-baby. She is also very encouraging and supportive of us. Thanks to her guidance, we continue to improve and learn every time we meet. We feel so grateful to have her in your corner in this journey. We can't recommend Angelica and her staff enough--they are truly one of a kind!

I contacted Ridgeside K9 after doing a google search for dog trainers in my area. My initial…read moreconsultation with Taylor was great, she asked a lot of questions about my Malinois rescue and what I was looking to get out of training. I explained to her that there were a few areas that he and I could use some help in, and we got the ball rolling. Brent showed up on the day of pickup and walked me through the process of what to expect during the time he would be training Kona and what kind of updates I would get. I got daily pictures and updates on his status. All I can say is wow, when Kona came back, he was a different dog. Brent spent about 2.5 hours with my family explaining how to integrate the training he used into our lives and how to use the tools he provided us with to make sure Kona succeeds. I think he trains the owners more than the dogs (lol). After we went through his training it was time to put it to use, he had my wife, and I walk Kona, and he gave us tips on how to correct behavior and relax and enjoy the walk. Thank you to Brent and his staff for helping us help Kona be a successful rescue and a huge part of our family.

The one star for the training, and the lack of stars for unprofessional conduct from the owner…read more(Brent). Our dog went through professional behavioral training through another company years ago. He had a solid baseline for learning and commands (sit, heal, place, etc.). Our primary issue was our dog's reactivity. We needed more help on how we as owners could manage this better. We decided to go with Ridgeside K-9 based on their stellar reviews and 4 week behavior modification board and train. Brent picked our dog up and was very thorough on what the plan was. We received a picture/video just about every evening with minimal communication attached. We were trusting their process. During the turn over, everything went well. We did notice our dog had lost a good amount of weight. He was never over weight by any means, but now we can really feel his ribs, spine, and hip bones. Nothing unhealthy though. We also noticed his bark was very different, and we figured it was due to him barking in the kennel during the turn over. Just over a week went by, and our dog's bark was still extremely weak. That coupled with our dog's weight loss had us a little uneasy. When confronting Brent over a phone call out of concern for our dog he became extremely defensive. He heatedly said our dog about drove him insane for 2 weeks due to his barking (which he never thought to mention previously), and then asked if we see a difference in him considering the training. I said not significantly. As mentioned, we've worked our dog for years, and the technique Brent taught us regarding our dog's reactivity is new to us. It had been just over a week and we were still learning to manage and get the results we need. However, before I could elaborate on any of this Brent completely flew off the handle. He was literally YELLING at me over the phone, saying I don't know what I'm talking about, we are the problem, and that I am a person who worries too much. I simply wanted to talk to him out of concern for my dog, and I felt like that meant nothing to him. My husband intervened on the phone due to Brent's disrespect toward me and it only got worse from there. We didn't get a hint of this instability throughout our prior interactions with Brent, and this left both of us completely in shock. Once things cooled down, Brent went back into a mode of wanting to help. Although this was appreciated, the damage was done. Brent has a lot of passion and pride in his work, but his temper concerns us greatly. It was like a switch, and there was ABSOLUTELY no excuse for that level of disrespect towards us.

She is so caring and I know our fur babies (cats, dogs and rabbits), as well as our turtle, fish and even my husband's hawk (he is a falconer) are in excellent hands. She sends pictures of our pets which eases the worry while we are gone. We have had other pet sitters and Kathy has been the absolute best. I can go away without worrying at all. We have some odd things, (feeding the hawk raw quail) that we needed done and she has been a trooper in doing them all and then some, like bringing in the mail and putting away garbage cans from the street and even watering plants. Kathy has also done some in home dog training consults with our dogs and I really like her style of dog training, very practical, respectful, and realistic. She is so knowledgeable and she's such a joy to be around. We are really going to miss her when she moves but are so grateful to have had her in our lives over the years. Cheers to her new adventures.

My other dog can be somewhat reactive/expressive with his anxiety, and he handled him perfectly. No charges for unnecessary tests. No extra fees. No suggested medications. Only what was necessary! Safe to say my dogs enjoyed the vet for the first time ever. They came in anxious, and left happy. I couldn't of asked for a better Vet Visit.

We had 2 meet and greets before his board & train which allowed us and our pup Colby to feel super comfortable with his stay with her. She listened to all of our many questions and was so kind in explaining everything to us. Throughout Colby's stay we were given tons of updates + photos & videos with descriptions of what he's working on and how we can continue it at home. In addition to his training he got to socialize and work on agility which he LOVED!!! Colby just got home a few days ago (yay!) and we are so impressed with the changes we've seen with his leash skills and reactivity. Christy did a demo for us when Colby got back home plus she sent a super thorough email with tons of tips, resources and recommendation. We've been implementing them all and are living the dream life with our pup!!! Honestly we were the ones who needed more training!! By changing our approach and focusing on enrichment our little guy is thriving and living his best pup life!!! We HIGHLY recommend Jolly Pack!!!!
