Springfield Side Kick Dog Training, Boarding, Daycare & Grooming

We have been using Side kick for 12 years now. First with out puppy in 2013 and again this past year with our new pup, Fritz. Ladina was our instructor for our puppy class and she's wonderful. She helps your work through problems you may be having in class and at home and builds your confidence as a pet owner. I still send her updates and pictures 6 months later. I would definitely go back to do other classes with them in the future.

Misty and her team are amazing! My dog had so much fun and I had peace of mind knowing he can't jump their fences!

If anyone is looking to train their doggie or doggies this is the place to take them. I would 100% recommend taking any class with Ladina. Not only is she knowledgeable, she is very friendly and enthusiastic about teaching. Archie’s first class with her was the “Star” puppy class. Archie learned recall pretty quickly in the class. Thanks to that training session Archie came back to me in an emergency situation. Honesty, without that training he more than likely wouldn’t be around today. He absolutely adores her and I’m convinced she could possibly be his favorite person in the whole wide world!!

We love the classes offered through Sidekick! We started in the puppy class, then mindful manners, and now in the therapy dog class preparing for therapy dog testing in the spring. Ladina is an awesome teacher who spends the time learning your dog's unique personality and offers suggestions that work to get you where you want to be with your dog. It's all fun and positive training that keeps your dog engaged and strengthens the dog\owner bond.

All the sidekick staff are so extremely kind, we had Ladina with Springfield academy. We graduated but she still answers all questions, during class she made it the best experience with our puppy! Their curriculum and training ways work very well, and they always are willing to accommodate to make the class work best for you! We completed the first puppy class, and are about to do the second!
