"After adopting Chuy from Texas we decided, while we were driving home from picking him up, that we wanted to get him into training. Searching on Google, we came upon Ridgeside K9 and were able to get a consultation quickly. It was recommended we enroll Chuy into the 3 week immersion program and he was paired with Kristin. I seriously think she has a magical..." Read more

"After struggling to get my pup to break his bad habits I had no idea where to turn. I had almost given up hope. All of that changed as soon as Brent and his staff had the opportunity to work with him. I am so happy how much things have changed with my pup Cooper since this experience. I would recommend everyone to have Ridgeside K9 work with their pups. Send..." Read more

"Kristin at Ridgeside is a-mazing! Our dog, Finn, came back home yesterday after 3 weeks of board and train a completely different dog. He's confident and so much calmer! She sent daily videos and feedback of Finn's progress. She also conducted an extensive turnover when she brought him home to us ensuring we understood commands and how to communicate in Finn..."

"It’s been about two months since Auggie has come home from his three-week board and train with Kenzie. Before training, I struggled with Auggie’s focus, especially during distractions. Our weekly training wasn’t getting us anywhere besides “sit” and “down.” He would pull on walks and chase any small creature we would encounter. With him being a rescue, I did..." Read more

"We could not be happier with Kristin and all she has trained our dog, Montana on. She has been awesome! We have used Ridgeside for puppy and 6 month training. Both have gone extremely smooth for us and our dog. :-) I love the fact they offer overnight boarding, outside of the programs to help "brush up" on anything needed. It is simple training, yet ex..."

"Wow! What a HUGE difference 3wks. with Kellen makes! Our pup (although a very young Great Dane at 5 mo) spent 3 wks. with Kellen and came back with the fundamentals that we needed to build on to ensure we had a well behaved, disciplined dog. Our pup, Brody, was a nightmare on walks prior to his training and now he heels beautifully. He isn't perfect and i..." Read more

"I chose Ridgeside based on the fantastic reviews that were posted. It was a solid decision as all the previous reviews were spot on. Kellen was Jax's handler and I couldn't have hand picked a better man for the job. Always kept me updated with pics and progress throughout the 3 week process and answered promptly to any questions that popped up. Jax now has f..." Read more

"The board and train program was life-changing for us. Our dog was struggling to adjust to our new apartment life. He stayed with Kenzi for three weeks and came back a changed boy. Her onboarding session with us insured we knew what needed to be done to keep up with his training and enabled us all to make a great transition. We’ve boarded with her a few times..." Read more

"Our 10 month old puppy, Pope, is a sweet, typical golden retriever. All energy. Thinks he exists solely to be the center of attention. He’s adorable. But he had all gas and no breaks. Wouldn’t listen to anything we told him. Played too roughly. No impulse control. It got to the point where we couldn’t really enjoy him because he was so hyper and mouthy. I ca..." Read more

"We found our boy Hamm dumped in a parking lot with all sorts of scars, he was hungry, and he was scared. We decided that we wanted to give him a real chance at a good life so we made him part of our family. When we started to notice some aggression we knew that the best thing for him was proper training, and that is when we met Kellen. The entire process was..." Read more

"Kellen was amazing with our Frenchie. Before he left he did not want to walk on a leash or listen to basic commands. Our dog came back with good fundamentals that we will continue to work on, excited to send our dog back for his follow up in a few months."

"I was nervous to leave my pup Petey for 3 weeks but Kellen at Ridgeside Tampa alleviated those concerns almost immediately. I appreciated the constant communication and progress updates from Kellen. He made me feel like I was part of the process the entire time. Upon return my pup was the same goofy guy but his recall and listening were on a whole new level!..." Read more

"Ridgeside K9 was amazing to work with. We rescued a 7 month old Aussie (Ollie) who started showing behavioral issues at home when he turned a year old. I did a lot of research and spoke to many board and train companies. When I called RK9, Taylor took my call and answered every single one of my questions and listened to all my concerns about Ollie. She was s..." Read more

"We had a great experience with Kellen! We sent our puppy George to him to get some basic foundational skills to set him up for success. Kellen was awesome - he sent us updates and pictures/videos everyday. You can tell he really cares and has a heart for the dogs he trains. I was most concerned George would come back sad or not the same but his sweet spirit..." Read more

"Kristin G. was amazing with our puppy Niko. We did the 3 week board and train. Kristin was in daily communication with us, and sent daily videos with Niko’s progress. Kristin has been great about trouble shooting with us and answering questions since Niko has returned home. We highly recommend! Thank you Ridgeside K9 Tampa for your support!"

"If I could do more than 5 stars I would. Brent and Carleigh were the best trainers and I will always go to them for anything. When we first sent our German Shepard puppy to them he was awfully trained and had no confidence, along with being reactive. Now nardo is more confident than ever and not reactive anymore. They sent daily updates on him without hesita..." Read more

"We cannot say enough good things about Kellen and Ridgeside. We sent our sweet 7 month APBT Peaches to Kellen for a 3 week board and train to help with some resource guarding and stubbornness. When first looking into board and train options we were very weary of Peaches being gone that long with no interaction or contact. We were also worried about getting..." Read more

"Ridgeside is a wonderful dog training option and we cannot recommend it more highly. Our chocolate lab had two stays with Kellen (at about 3 months and 7 months) and not only received outstanding results with his obedience and responsiveness, but Kellen was very caring and loving with our little guy. Kellen stayed in ongoing contact with us through pictures..." Read more

"We sent our beloved (high energy) labradoodle, Arnie, to Kenzi for the 3 week board and train program. With 3 young kids at home and busy schedules to keep up with, Arnie’s behavior needed correcting that we knew we couldn’t tackle on our own. I can’t recommend Ridgeside K9 enough! Still a fun, spunky pup- Arnie now has manners and knows better of what is ex..." Read more

"I did the 3-week program with trainer Kristin G. for my 6-month old golden doodle and the results were fantastic. It was like I had a different dog after 3 weeks. Before he was hard to walk on a leash and would not obey me. Kristin taught him how to walk on a leash and basic commands (sit, come, down, place, free, heel), crate manners and the potential life-..." Read more

"THANK YOU KELLEN!! My husband and I put our very energetic Labrador dexter in the two week board and train with Kellen. We had the expectation that dexter would be trained to control his excitement. Thus, helping him be less anxious. We never had to question what Dexter was up to because Kellen kept very good communication with us throughout the full two we..." Read more

The process was simple and easy start to finish and totally worth every penny. Sammie will be going back for his next round of training in the next 2 weeks and I can't wait to see the results!"

It was not a good situation for me or for Karl and we would both get very frustrated. Kellen reassured me that I do have a good boy and he just needs some structure. Karl w..." Read more

"We sent our 1yo golden retriever to Ridgeside K9 back in January of this year for just over 2 weeks. Penny is a very funny, energetic puppy who was having impulse control issues and was not trusted if left alone for a few minutes by herself. We were worried that training may lessen her big personality, but instead it truly just made her a better dog. While s..." Read more
