TESTIMONIALS Click here to view a wonderful letter we received from the Schmid family! Thanks you guys! Garret Ridley "Zeus and I are very pleased with the outcome of training with Garrett Ridley. Before training, Zeus was un-ruly. Now he is obedient, well-mannered, sociable in public and fun to be with. Thank you Garrett!" Brian
“After raising and training Sporting Dogs for over 20 years, I was having a tough time with my new German Shepherd pup. Garrett’s experience with this breed was invaluable. As a dog trainer, he has a real gift for reading a dog, to understand what's going on (e.g., is this stress? is this confusion? or what?). His methods are positive, inspiring, gentle, and effective. “ Helen |
