A Personalized Approach

Every dog that stays with Ridgeside K9 receives an individualized plan based on temperament, goals, and lifestyle. Owners receive daily progress reports and photos during board and train stays, along with a multi-hour turnover session covering communication techniques and lifetime support such as monthly refresher training and pack walks.

Dogs arriving for boarding or daycare must be current on rabies, distemper/parvo, and bordetella vaccinations. The facility accommodates special diets, medication administration, and extra care for anxious or senior dogs, making Ridgeside K9 a well-rounded option for owners who need their dog trained, boarded, or cared for during the day.
