Ridgeside K9 Nashville

I recommend Ridgeside K9 Nashville to everyone in need of a dog trainer. Jeff and his team took care of our dog like she was their own. My husband and I had been talking about getting a dog since before we got married. We made the, arguably questionable, decision to get a puppy when I was 3 months pregnant. We knew she needed training, especially before the baby was born, and our skills weren’t cutting it. So we did some research and found Ridgeside K9. Jeff offers full service training where the dog stays with him and his team for the duration of the training. I felt completely comfortable because I knew she was receiving excellent care, structure, and love while she was away. We received updates with pictures everyday about progress and overall wellbeing. We were still careful once the b

I have two 5-year-old littermate bulldog/staffy mixes with completely opposite personalities. One was very timid and struggled with fear-based aggression, while the other was extremely confident, stubborn, and openly disobedient. For years, I carried so much guilt, blaming myself for not taking the time or making the sacrifices to properly train and socialize them when they were puppies. Because of their low social skills, reactivity, constant leash pulling, and non-existent recall, they essentially couldn’t leave our home. The only places they ever went were the backyard or the vet. I couldn’t invite people over, travel without them, have them boarded, or trust anyone else to care for them. Working with Jeff completely changed everything. Through his training using an e-collar (which is

We couldn’t recommend Jeff more! We got Ozzie from the animal shelter a little over a year ago and were dealing with random, intermittent episodes of resource guarding and aggression towards our other dog Miller with seemingly no triggers to warn us. His recall needed work, his prey drive was through the roof, and he struggled to control his excitement around new dogs. Jeff drove all the way to our house to meet us privately to make sure he was the right fit and spent the time explaining his methods and making us comfortable. Ozzie left with him a few weeks later for a 2 week board and train, and we are AMAZED with the progress he came back with. Jeff sent us photos every night detailing the work and progress Ozzie was making (great photos too, not your generic iPhone ones). When Ozzie ret

Jeff is amazing! My dog Moose stayed with him for three weeks, and he came back like a whole new dog. You can really see the time, effort and love Jeff puts into every dog he works with. Moose learned so much, and it was obvious he was genuinely cared for the entire time. Jeff also took the most incredible photos of Moose! Not just regular iPhone snaps but actual professional quality pictures. He even dressed him up for the holidays as a cute little reindeer! Moose is definitely going to miss him, and I’ll for sure be using Jeff for boarding in the future. If you love your pup leave them with Jeff. He’s the best!!

A few months into owning our new Doberman puppy, we knew that we needed a professional to help us train her. After visiting several training facilities, reading reviews, and speaking to several trainers, we knew that Ridgeside K9 Nashville was the best choice. Jeff has been wonderful to communicate with. The daily photos, videos and updates on Kendra’s progress solidified that we made the right choice. Kendra came home a happy girl and we’re just as happy with her training and results. No more leash pulling, great recall, and she places on demand without hesitation. We’re so excited to continue our training journey with Kendra now that she knows the basics, plus some! Thanks Ridgeside K9 Nashville, we appreciate you!
