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 Sneads Ferry 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.

Sneads Ferry FAQ

The questions Sneads Ferry families ask us.

Do you drive to Sneads Ferry for pickup?
Yes. Sneads Ferry is a regular part of our service area, about 25 minutes from our Jacksonville base. Door-to-door pickup and delivery is included in every board and train program.
My spouse is deployed. Can you help me get the dog under control alone?
That is exactly why we exist. Twenty-one days with us, then Graduation Day teaches you specifically to handle the dog on your own. Deployed-spouse cases are a large part of our client base. We understand the situation and we build the training for the person actually holding the leash.
Can you handle a dog around commercial fishing gear?
Yes. Sensory exposure to boat launches, nets, gear, and the general controlled chaos of a working waterfront is trainable. Tell us on the eval call that this is your reality and we build it into the program.
How much for military families?
We offer a military rate for active duty, retirees, veterans, and immediate family. Ask on the evaluation call and we walk through the specific pricing for your situation.
