The Ridgeside K9 Standard

We do not enroll dogs we cannot help.

Most companies pitch you no matter what. We will not. If your dog is not a fit for the program, if the timing is off, if we honestly do not think we can move the needle, we tell you and point you to who can. When we say yes to a Holly Ridge family's dog, we do it because we know we can help. And if you finish the program and get stuck, we keep coaching you for the life of your dog at no charge.

Holly Ridge FAQ

The questions Holly Ridge families ask us.

Do you serve Holly Ridge?
Yes. Holly Ridge is 20 minutes from our Jacksonville base and is a regular part of our service area. Pickup and delivery included.
My puppy is 4 months and we just moved here. Can you help?
That is the ideal window. Foundation training between 4 and 10 months holds for the rest of your dog's life. We build crate, potty, leash, door, and confidence work all in the first foundation program.
How does board and train work if I have never done it?
Your dog moves into a certified Ridgeside K9 trainer's home for 21 days. You get daily updates the entire time, three-plus hours of hands-on graduation coaching, and lifetime access to the Freedom Pack. Not a kennel. Not a facility. A real household.
Do you offer military discounts for Holly Ridge families?
Yes. Same military rate we honor across our territory for active duty, retirees, veterans, and immediate family.

Holly Ridge families deserve the same standard.
