Ridgeside K9 Pittsburgh Dog Training

Ridgeside K9 Pittsburgh believes there is no “one size fits all” approach to dog training. Each dog and owner are evaluated on what training they need and then a training package is customized to meet their needs. We use a mix of marker training, free shaping, and classical and operant conditioning to establish real-world, measurable, and reliable obedience and control. Clear communication and expectations are the key to a happy life with your dog.

WHY RIDGESIDE K9 Dog Training?

Are you a pet parent looking for the best puppy training classes or pup programs for potty training? Are you hoping to enjoy loose leash walking with your pooch but have an extremely busy schedule? You may be looking for a pup training program that includes a training collar. Whatever the case, at Ridgeside K9, based in Colorado Springs, CO, we offer a wide range of pet training solutions. We can train your dog to obey basic cues, such as:

Basic commands (sit, stay, down, etc.)
Door manners
Leash manners
and much more

We currently offer immersive home-based board and trains and plan to open a facility in the near future to expand our training services, including daycare and classes.

OUR DOG TRAINING PROCESS IS SIMPLE

Training The Dog

First step in training is teaching a clear communication system to the dog. We have to have a way to clearly communicate with dogs what we want and don’t want from them. We will teach them obedience that works anywhere! Doesn’t matter where you go, whether it’s a busy park or grandma’s house, our system works!

Training The Owner

The second and most important step to training is training the owners! At graduation, we spend 3 hours educating you the owner! We teach, show you and coach you. We want you to learn how to properly communicate with your pup so you can build a stronger relationship.

Maintenance Training

Here at Ridgeside K9, we offer various ways to keep up with your training to be able to include lifetime support. We hold group refresher training for all prior clients. Also, we offer pack walks and have a Facebook family group to be able to ask questions and connect with other owners.
