We have had 2 dogs go through different training programs. Both are rescue dogs so we didn't know their prior histories. The younger one did the day training and currently does doggie daycare. After a couple of times at daycare we realized she needed more training to deal with her anxiety and help her confidence. She definitely needed the socialization and daycare was the best thing for her. The older one did the obedience class, it was good for him to go through some training again, this time with me and my daughter. We have learned so much from each program and appreciate all the help everyone there has given us. The staff is amazing and so helpful. We will continue to use their services in the future.

4 WEEK BOARD & TRAIN We sent our 7 month old bully mix puppy to Kacey and Jason from Ridgeside K9 NorCal, and couldn’t be happier. We felt so comfortable leaving our dog with them. We could tell immediately how much they cared for dogs, and they were so warm and understanding. They came to pick up our dog, and we sent her off with all her favorite things. Jason and Kacey were so communicative during the 4 weeks she was gone. We always knew she was in good hands. The day she came home was amazing. We were blown away with the skills they were able to teach her in such a short amount of time. She is able to walk perfectly on a leash, has a moveable, designated place, her recall is incredible, along with sit and down. We are so grateful for this incredible team, and would refer ANYONE with ANY dog to them. We know have a happy, calm, and confident dog and she still has her goofy personality! We will be clients for a lifetime. Special thanks to Kacey and Jason, you guys changed our lives!

Look no farther….this is your place! We use the overnight care option often and we always know that our dog, Ruby, is well taken care of. Due to such a great experience, we enrolled our one year old husky/shepherd in the 3 week board and train program. She came back a different dog! They helped train her with basic obedience, running alongside a bike, no jumping, voice commands and overall diet and exercise plans. We were also pleased with the e-collar that we purchased along with the personalized advice on how to use it. We were given exactly what we needed to be successful with her upon our return home. Rich and Jacqueline are the BEST in the business. You have our vote for best program in the north state! ~ Jason and Kendra

Does my dog need private training?

Ridgeside K9 NorCal Dog Training | Jul 15, 2022
Ridgeside K9 NorCal Dog Training | Jul 15, 2022

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.

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

Will my dog get fat from all the food ?

Ridgeside K9 NorCal Dog Training | May 16, 2022
Ridgeside K9 NorCal Dog Training | May 16, 2022

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.

Do you train dogs of any breed, age and size?

Ridgeside K9 NorCal Dog Training | May 16, 2022
Ridgeside K9 NorCal Dog Training | May 16, 2022

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

What Is Clicker Training?

Ridgeside K9 NorCal Dog Training | May 16, 2022
Ridgeside K9 NorCal Dog Training | May 16, 2022

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.

How many sessions does a dog need to be trained?

Ridgeside K9 NorCal Dog Training | May 16, 2022
Ridgeside K9 NorCal Dog Training | May 16, 2022

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).

I have tried other trainers before and didn’t get the results I desired – what makes your program and approach different and more effective?

Ridgeside K9 NorCal Dog Training | Apr 16, 2022
Ridgeside K9 NorCal Dog Training | Apr 16, 2022

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.

My dog is really aggressive. Do you work with aggressive dogs?

Ridgeside K9 NorCal Dog Training | Apr 16, 2022
Ridgeside K9 NorCal Dog Training | Apr 16, 2022

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.

What happens if I don’t get the results I want from the training? Is there a guarantee?

Ridgeside K9 NorCal Dog Training | Apr 16, 2022
Ridgeside K9 NorCal Dog Training | Apr 16, 2022

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.

Do I Need This Type Of Training?

Ridgeside K9 NorCal Dog Training | Apr 16, 2022
Ridgeside K9 NorCal Dog Training | Apr 16, 2022

Ridgeside K9 NorCal Dog Training | Mar 17, 2022

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

What vaccines are required for training sessions?

Ridgeside K9 NorCal Dog Training | Mar 17, 2022
Ridgeside K9 NorCal Dog Training | Mar 17, 2022

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.

What tools do I need to train?

Ridgeside K9 NorCal Dog Training | Mar 17, 2022
Ridgeside K9 NorCal Dog Training | Mar 17, 2022

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.

What age can I start training?

Ridgeside K9 NorCal Dog Training | Mar 17, 2022
Ridgeside K9 NorCal Dog Training | Mar 17, 2022

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.

Ridgeside K9 NorCal Dog Training | Feb 15, 2022

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.

Do I Need Puppy Training?

Ridgeside K9 NorCal Dog Training | Feb 15, 2022
Ridgeside K9 NorCal Dog Training | Feb 15, 2022

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.

Ridgeside K9 NorCal Dog Training | Jan 16, 2022

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.

Does My Dog Need a Board and Train program?

Ridgeside K9 NorCal Dog Training | Jan 16, 2022
Ridgeside K9 NorCal Dog Training | Jan 16, 2022

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.
