Great Dogs Are Born, Then Built.
Whatever your dog is doing, they learned it somewhere. The pulling, the barking, the lunging — every behavior got rewarded, whether that was with you or in a life before you. That's why a trainer can't fix it for you. Our job is to teach and help you work with your dog. And you can, once you know what you're looking at — lay the Foundation, and build a solid canine.

The full Saturday, and your dog is evaluated live by Garrett.

I asked for help with a rescued foster dog, pulled from a high kill shelter, and unadoptable. Garrett identified the source of the dog's disobedience right away and I saw an immediate change in the dog's response… Garrett doesn't just tell you what to do and leave. He offers ongoing support that I am very grateful to have while working with this dog.

After I left a voicemail, Garrett Ridley, the owner, personally called me back first thing in the morning. He was extremely insightful, professional, and took the time to really listen to my concerns… I feel confident moving forward with his guidance to help train my dog.

Great day with a lot of very valuable information Garrett and Nicole… Again great job with all the dogs.

Garrett Ridley has trained dogs for over twenty years and wrote the book this system runs on — Building A Solid Canine. He doesn't train your dog for you. He teaches you to train your dog, then helps you through it — session by session, phase by phase, until the behavior holds.
