"Kenzie was amazing with my 8 month old mini golden doodle Tami. She contacted me daily with updates during the 2 weeks of Tami’s training. Tami learnt how to walk properly on the leash and listen and respond to my commands such as heal, sit, place and free. She calmed down a lot and now behaves properly when passing another person with their dog on a wal..." Read more

"We couldn't be happier with the result from the 3 week board & train with Ridgeside K9 Tampa! Before training, our golden retriever (Yeti) wouldn't calm down no matter how many activities we tried to do with him. He was constantly jumping on people and impossible to walk on a leash. Kellen took the time to work with Yeti on specific behaviors to fit the need..." Read more

"Kellen Zanandrie was amazing to work with. He really went over the in-outs as to why my Doberman (Royce) was behaving the way he was and explained how he was going to break him from that behavior. Kellen communicated with me every single day for 3 weeks and updated me his progression throughout that time. The day Royce can came home there was a clear differe..." Read more

"We had a great experience with them. We sent our puppy to Kellen for two weeks and could definitely tell a difference when we got him back. The best part was the place command for sure. He stays on his mat until I tell him to get off. He also sent great videos and pictures and I could tell my puppy was still having fun while being trained. I will probably se..." Read more

"Such a pleasurable and rewarding experience. Kellen trained both my dogs (german shepherd and a pointer mix), my german was super rambunctious, lacked a lot of patience, and had no socialization skills. She’s now ready to work at all moments, calm, and responds excellent to commands. Prior to this experience I wouldn’t dare take her in public due to her bein..." Read more

"Kellan did an amazing job training my dog! I was super impressed with how he sent me pictures and videos every day, kept constant communication with me and took care of my dog when he was getting sick. He was super responsive and very thorough during my in house training. I would recommend this company to anyone looking to train their pup! Thanks!!"

"I am writing to highly recommend Kenzi for dog/ puppy training. She is an incredibly knowledgeable and friendly trainer who helped us train our goldendoodle, Stella. She was patient and encouraging, and she always made sure that we understood the concepts after Stella came home from puppy training. We look forward to working with her further when our puppy..."

"Be far the best experience from being to end! I have a fawn French bulldog and had issues with pulling, running up to people and other dogs. He had an abundance of energy that he couldn’t control. I had the pleasure with dealing with Kellen and let me tell you hands down the best. He is very transparent and sends updates daily. He spent a long explaining wh..." Read more

"Incredible group to work with and we are thrilled with the result! We brought our rescue pup Jasper to Ridgeside owing to severe fear reactions and insecurity - the dog had a rough start to life prior to rescue, but the Ridgeside K9 crew knew exactly what he needed. From day one, we had confidence that they would work with Jasper on his terms to equip him..." Read more

"I am so thankful I took the leap and did 4 weeks of training with Ridgeside K9! Charlie is a 2yr old Labradoodle, super hyper running around with his mouth open! It can make it hard for him to control himself around visitors and anything that caught his attention during walks. What he has learned has given us the ability to give him commands and an environm..." Read more

"Our German Shepherd/Weimaraner mix was 5 months old and developing some major behavioral issues when on leash. It became pretty much a chore just to take her potty and we were pretty burnt out with trying to handle it on our own. When I spoke to Mackenzie and she explained their program I knew it was exactly what we were looking for and 4 weeks later our lit..." Read more

"We have a 6 month old lab/hound mix. Kellen was great with our Stella. We did the two week board and train program. We got updates daily so we could see the progress she was making. We are very pleased with her results. She is still a puppy so she needs to mature but she now has an off switch. If she gets too crazy we have the tools to get her to focus on us..." Read more

"So we went with the 3 week program for our 7.5 year old rescue. She had regressed from all previous training and was quite a bit for my wife to handle by herself. Now our dog is well behaved and is listening to the basic commands she learned with her trainer Kenzi. I’d highly recommend them to anyone looking to get their dog back on track."

"I left my 5 1/2 month old French Bulldog with Kenzi, where he learned the five commands: sit, come, free, place and heel, after successfully completing the two-week program under her care. She picked him up in the beginning and dropped him off at my home at the end. Kenzi was very thorough, professional and extremely pleasant to work with throughout the whol..." Read more

"Chance stayed with Kenzi for a four-week Board and Train program. As a rescue, Chance has always been fearful, which caused unwanted behaviors that could no longer be tolerated. After being with Kenzi, Chance is much more mellow, and we both have a newfound respect and understanding for each other. Kenzi allowed Chance to be himself, but also molded his need..." Read more

"Old dogs can learn new tricks! My boy is 11 years old and has always struggled with anxiety - unable to be in busy environments, elevators, downtown, restaurants, near strangers, etc. He would shake, growl, and go to bite anything that got near us. Kenzi has done the unthinkable and has my boy living and loving the life of a downtown pup! I now take him..." Read more

"We could not have asked for a better experience for our dog. The entire Ridgeside team does a phenomenal job with the dogs. Brent communicated with us every step of the way to share updates and show progress in the training. Even after, we love the fact that we can send Brent a message anytime for questions."

"We were initially hesitant about sending our dog, Olive, to reactivity training. BUT we are very happy that we did. Kenzi sent us daily pictures and updates of Olive and was really good at responding to all our questions. When we got Olive back she was so much more confident. The confidence has made her more of her wild, cuddly and eccentric self. We have h..." Read more

"Brent and Carleigh made a difference in our life's and we are very grateful. Our little puppy Artoo who is a 7 month old German Spitz was out of control. We couldn't go out for walks because he would bark at everything cars, leaves, bugs, wind, everythinggg! to the point he would get so crazy he would hurt himself. Yes, we know puppy's have lots of energy bu..." Read more

The difference in all of their behavior after the 4 week program its night and day!My male Rottweiler used to be horrible, over protective,nervous in public, I couldn't have guest over and he would become over reactive at people even passing my driveway.
