Erica is amazing! Her expertise as a dog trainer is rare. Despite trying various other local dog…read moretraining services, none of them have given us the same results as Erica. What sets Erica apart from the rest, is that she creates an in-home training program for you that is custom to your unique dog(s), lifestyle, and overall circumstances. In our case, we have three dogs, one who has an injury. Generic dog training advice that we would find online wasn't working for us. Every training technique from Erica has been very effective. We've seen immediate improvement in our dogs. Walking our dogs used to be stressful and now it's something we look forward to everyday. Their improved behavior has allowed us to take them more places, have more adventures, and overall make them & us happier.

Paw-sitively the Best Grooming Experience!…read more Madison is the real MVP of dog grooming! She worked her magic on both of my dogs, and let me tell you--one of them acts like he's training for the drama Olympics every time he gets groomed. But somehow, Madison had him calm, cool, and collected like it was no big deal. The other dog? Strutted out like he was headed to a VIP event. She was quick, efficient, and the cuts were chef's kiss--fluffy perfection! We're already booked for the next appointment because when you find a dog groomer this good, you don't let go. 10/10, would recommend to anyone who wants their pups looking fresh and fabulous!

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.

My dog Atticus has been with PnR on weekdays days since he was 5 months old (over 5 years now)…read more Despite my efforts to socialize him, he was still painfully shy. The PnR staff went all-out to spend time with him and bring out his confidence. After two weeks he was so excited to go to PnR to see his friends. Every time I picked him up, he had to run back and kiss all of his caregivers goodbye. Am retiring now from a job with long hours. Knowing Atticus was happy and lovingly cared for while I was at work was priceless. Thank you to everyone at PnR for all you did for my little guy.

At that point, we decided to enroll with Sit & Stay Academy. From what we saw the facility is clean and well-kept. The dogs are in large cages and we did not see "overcrowding" that the others are reporting. From what we saw, the staff are very attentive to the dogs there. Clark is great and definitely know their stuff! Sanchez was there for about 8-9 months with weekly visits/training classes for ourselves. We have had Sanchez home for about 2 months now. He is like a new dog. He does not have any desire to hump the other dogs. He really doesn't want anything to do with them in terms of messing with them. They can all lay beside each other and nothing bad happens. Yes, the training can look a bit rough, but that's because we haven't done training on any of our dogs and it was new to us. The program was definitely worth the money. Sanchez is super obedient now and life is great. Thank you Sit & Stay Academy!!

She has yet to grab a remote, we are still careful with them especially when we aren't in the room. The transformation it incredible! Carrie, Samantha and the whole Doghouse gang are highly recommended! Thank you for laying a good foundation for us to follow! We are happy and proud to be part of the Doghouse family! Update: Poppy has been home a while and she and we continue to learn and grow. People who meet her are amazed she is so young yet so well behaved! We can not thank all the gang at the Doghouse enough, especially Sam! She has been patient with us and continues to help as needed.

She was not a balanced dog and all. she is still a work in progress, only on lesson 2, but I can see that with Victoria training me..... and "phoebe" catching on so quickly I may step up to the challenge of canine good citizen.
