With Over 10+ Years Experience in Dog Training, Ridgeside K9 Has Become The Go-To Expert for Dog Training. Absolutely 5 stars! Nicole and Ridgeside K9 were awesome through the entire training. From the moment our 16 week puppy entered Nicole's home, he new she was in charge and instantly loved her. 3 weeks later, he was calmer, listened better, had great leash control, and new who was the leader.
Nicole treated him like family and was incredibly helpful in giving us tip and techniques to continue training. I look forward to sending him back to Nicole and would recommend her whole heartedly! Can't say enough about Ridgeside K-9 and the job they did with my dog (85 pounds male lab mix). I was nervous about some behavior issues he was having (resource guarding) and also wanted to get more control/confidence with him off leash.
My dog previously would not listen off leash and wouldn't let strangers near his food is now disciplined, comfortable, and always around me when off leash. The 3-week board and train is worth the investment!

Obedience training at Ridgeside K9 is the foundation of everything the company does.
All aspects of all dog training from service dog work to high-end sport dog competition falls back on the obedience foundation the dog received.
The "basics" are never as basic as many believe.
The "basics" must be the foundation the dog can fall back on under stress and when in a state of drive.
As with all things - the stronger the foundation the stronger the structure.
However, if the foundation is weak, no matter how fancy the structure is it will eventually fail.

Aggression issues plague many dog households.
Often aggression falls heavily on communication issues.
Dogs get confused about what is expected of them and take it on themselves to interpret their response to situations and interactions.
Thus when dogs fall back on instinctual drives behaviors such as resource guarding, object obsession, protective, aggressive, and being possessive can all work there way to the surface and become a safety issue.
To work through aggression there are multiple steps.
