Best dog training experience I have ever had!…read more Shelby has trained both of my dogs a border collie and a German Shepherd full of energy. I love that I was always getting video updates on their progress as well as knowing that they were in her home and not just a random building left unattended at night. What really sold me on Kyser k9 was the ability to have open communication with my trainer even after they finished their board and train program. I am always able to schedule a FaceTime correction session with Shelby to keep their training on par. I cannot recommend Shelby and Kyser k9 more!

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.

Stacy has been an amazing help for me and my Doberman DeSoto! Whenever I had a questions after our…read moreweekly class, she was very responsive and always had an answer that would solve my issue.

Stacy was incredibly helpful in getting our dogs trained. We have a year old basset hound and a 2…read moreyear old bulldog, and we were lost trying to get them to listen to us. When people would visit, our chunky little basset hound, and our 75 pound bulldog would get excited and jump all over guests and just be incredibly rambunctious in general. After 5 sessions, we were amazed at the amount of discipline they showed like two little soldiers who wouldn't move unless we told them to when guests came over. Our friends and family were absolutely floored by the progress, and couldn't believe that these were the same two dogs. I highly recommend having her help train your pups, because it has made a world of a difference for us!

When I purchased my puppy I knew that I was going to need basic training and obedience and was…read morethinking that since I am disabled I could eventually make my boy a service dog.

My trainer Dave came and he was just as amazing as Hope was we ended up doing  programs with them and my boy is the most well behaved doggie ever thanks to them. I cant say he is a fully trained service dog because no dog is ever 100% done learning and training but All American set the foundation for greatness with my Big boy and I truly thank them for that

We moved to the area and I was doing my best to keep his training up but needed help getting him and myself over the finish line. I called All American Dog training and Hope was amazing at answering all of my initial questions and really taking the time to see if they could meet our needs. She set us up with an evaluation with Dave at our home and we started public access training about 2 weeks after. Dave was very patient with me and my dog and took the time to explain the method behind the training. He was great at communicating and is extremely knowledgeable as a dog trainer. Whenever I felt stuck and I couldn't get the appropriate response from my dog he would take the time to troubleshoot and give me the tools we needed to work as a team. They also made themselves available so we could reach out anytime between lessons if we had any questions or simply needed motivation. - Quick Evaluation and Program Options - Great Customer Service - Gentle Training Method - Great Results

We had our now 10 month old pit bull board with Abby about a month ago for 2 weeks. Before we…read morebrought him he was fairly well behaved but no real discipline. If we went outside he would run to the neighbors houses or try and grab stuff off of the table. Since getting him back he has been a brand new dog. He's still his same lazy, cuddly self but way more attentive and understanding. I go through most of the commands all day long just out of habit. Sometimes even putting him to the test to see how well he knows some things. I can not believe how well he took to everything and how much better disciplined he now is. I've gotten to the point now within a month where I rarely need to use the collar remote. All in all. We are extremely happy with the results and would highly recommend and use again with future dogs. Thank you Tampa K9 and Abby for everything!!!

Ann and her English Bulldog, George are the perfect duo ! I signed up for the puppy training…read moresessions through Zoom (all virtual) and it was one of the best decisions I've made when it comes to my pup. Ann is professional, patient, thoughtful, knowledgeable, friendly, caring--I can go on and on. Before our first session, my puppy was THE chomping monster. I felt lost and frustrated. But, after one session, I learned so much about communication between myself and my dog and how important it is to understand how dogs learn. Throughout each session, Ann would demonstrate the commands with George then have me perform the same thing with my dog. As she watched, she was able to correct what needed adjusting and explained as she did that. Each and every time, she was able to teach me and my pup new things. My puppy is now a puppy who others compliment on for her good behavior and focus on me. One thing to note is Ann emails handouts that review what she went over in the last session which is super helpful--you have to do the work to see progress with your dog. And Ann provides all the tools necessary to succeed. I would 100% recommend Ann (and George!) for any dog training wants and needs.
