Yes. We offer a follow-up session to help you continue with your dog’s success.

Just like with people, every dog learns differently and we adjust to your dog. No cookie-cutter training programs. Our trainers truly bond with your dog and care about their success.

First, we don’t fat shame humans or dogs, but it’s okay to be worried about your dog’s health and this is a big concern for many people. When clicker training, it is best to use tiny pieces of food and subtract these calories from your dog’s daily food ration. Clicker training is also good exercise and highly stimulating. Dogs work when they clicker train! You may also substitute a training session for one of your dog’s regular mealtimes.

Yes we train Dogs of any breed, age and size.

Clicker training is a training method that involves holding and clicking a training clicker during sessions with your dog. Training clickers emit a distinctive clicking sound when pressed. By triggering a click while simultaneously teaching a technique or offering a treat, you can condition your dog to associate the sound with the command or reward. This, in turn, can help reinforce their training. Clickers can be especially useful for the come command.

If you want a well-behaved dog, you have to teach it how to behave. It's often advised to train the dog frequently, for example to have three short training sessions a day. On the other hand, if you go to training classes, they are usually once a week (though of course you can practise at home).

With over 10+ years of experience, 1000’s of dogs successfully trained we have the experience and knowledge to help transform your dog into the perfect obedient pet for your home. We treat every dog like family, with respect and aim to provide top-notch service for you and your pet. If you are looking to get your dog professionally trained by an expert trainer in Chico, CA or any surrounding nearby city contact Ridgeside K9 NorCal Today.

All of them! Regardless of age, breed, or temperament.

We are often the last stop after clients have been through multiple trainers. Unlike other training approaches that only focus on developing rehearsed behaviors, bribing with treats, or merely managing/bandaid-ing the problem, we have developed a unique approach that fundamentally changes the dog’s state of mind. Once we address the dog’s state of mind, the sky’s the limit for what we can create. By cultivating new habits, teaching the dog to make better choices, training calmness instead of excitability, and employing our unique duration work, we are consistently successful with dogs that others are unable to help. This will be the last dog training you will ever need.

Yes. We work with aggressive dogs. Aggressive dogs will be trained using the same unique and progressive methods used on all dogs but will only be trained at our board and train facility. We have found that aggressive dogs take a little longer to work with. I will determine the length of training during our initial consultation.

Though we can’t make official results guarantees (because we’re not allowed!), we only choose to work with the most dedicated and diligent owners so, in our experience, no matter how severe the issues, we consistently see breakthrough results and amazing transformations. We have never come across a dog we could not help. We work hand in hand as a team in your dog’s rehabilitation. This process of teamwork and collaboration begins before we even meet your dog, moves through the training process, and continues long after your dog has gone home. Once you choose a program, we consider you part of Ridgeside K9 NorCal Dog Training, and your success is our utmost priority.

If you have a puppy or young dog and you want to make sure that your training is effective and appropriate, private training is for you. If you have a dog with some training but you are confused how to move forward, private lessons are ideal. Do you have some behavior problems with your dog and cant seem to get past them, our private lessons can help you help your dog.

Yes! Group classes run for 6 weeks in a row, and give you an opportunity to learn in a group setting.

Dogs should be up to date with rabies and core vaccinations. Proof of current Rabies vaccination is required for all in-person and in-home training sessions for dogs 4 months of age or older.

Treats, toys, a 4 to 6 foot long nylon or leather leash, and a buckle collar are essential, but we will review some optional training methods and tools with you at the first visit. Some tools that may help you and your canine companion succeed with training include a clicker, no-pull harness, or head halter. It’s also important that you find treats and/or toys that your dog loves! These will help motivate and reward your dog during training.

Training should start as soon as you bring your puppy / new dog home. You can schedule an appointment to meet with a trainer for a puppy of any age. Although we require that you keep up to date with your dog’s vaccinations in accordance with the vaccine schedule recommended by your veterinarian, it is not necessary for the dog to have completed their puppy series prior to beginning training. Group classes start for puppies 12 weeks of age and older.

Yes! You can teach an old dog new tricks! It is never too late to start training. Whether you have a young pup in need of basic obedience and socialization, or an older dog that needs assistance with specific issues, our trainers are here to help!

Clean, monitored and climate controlled living space for your dog. Multiple one on one training sessions with our experienced trainers. Multiple field trips to work in real world environments. Multiple updates per week of your dog’s progress. Multiple pictures and videos of your dog’s progress. Easy access to your trainer via email, phone and text. An extensive go home session to teach you how to work with your dog and to show you all their new found training. One follow up session to help you continue on with your dog’s success.

Our trainers have worked with thousands of dogs of various breeds. With that experience, we understand how to customize training programs for the needs of you and your dog. We take the time to get to know your dog and what training style works best for them. Just like with people, every dog learns differently and we adjust to your dog. No cookie cutter training programs. Our trainers truly bond with your dog and care about their success.

We start out by just getting your dog settled in. During this time we open up a line of communication with your dog and ultimately start to bond with it. Without a bond we have nothing. Once we have a line of communication and understand what motivates your dog, we begin to tackle your dog’s individual needs for training. Throughout the process we slowly challenge your dog by introducing heavier distractions and triggers for your dog.

Our puppy training will help alleviate jumping, biting, barking, anxiety and security that could lead to aggression. We also help you teach your dog how to learn so that she will continue to be a receptive student into adulthood.

It is important for you to start training with you puppy as early as possible. Young puppies are a blank slate. They are constantly absorbing information from the environment around them. If you provide them with structure and knowledge at a young age, they will develop into well mannered canine members of your family. All puppies deserve the best we can provide them at a young age. That includes balanced training and appropriate socialization from a young age.

Your puppy will first and foremost learn how to learn. We will create an environment that makes learning fun and easy for you and your puppy. Specifically, your puppy will learn basic obedience (sit, down, loose leash walking, place command, recall and name recognition). We will also introduce crate training to your puppy and explain to you how to train your puppy to go to the bathroom outside of your home.

Board and trains range from two to six weeks depending on the needs of your individual dog. Included in the board and train is a clean, climate controlled environment for your dog’s stay. Multiple one on one training sessions with our highly skilled trainers. Your dog will also receive some play and cuddle time while in our program. During our board and train program we take the dogs out on field trips working them in real life environments. Your dog will be under 24/7 supervision. During the board and train you will receive multiple updates which include photos and videos for you to follow along with your dog’s progress.

Is your dog in need of a board and train program? If you lack the time and ability to be consistent in their training, our board and train program is a great option. Dog training is about creating habits, we create those with consistency and repetition. Dogs are constantly learning through every interaction, whether you’re training or not. The Board and Train program submerges your dog into a controlled environment to ensure they are learning the behaviors we want them to learn. Not only correcting issues, but providing a good foundation to prevent issues from arising. Every dog needs training. Is your dog exhibiting any behaviors you don’t like? Does your dog sit and stay in any environment, walk nicely on leash, have any behavioral issues? Is your dog reactive or aggressive towards dogs or people? If so, then a board and train is right for you. Board and train programs provide your dog a clean, and clear training plan. In this program your dog is receiving clear and consistent training and communication. Dog training is nothing more than creating habits. We do that through consistency and repetition. A board and train ensures that consistency with our experienced trainers.
