Great Dogs Are Born, Then Built.
Whatever your dog is doing, they learned it somewhere. Once you know what you're looking at, you can change it — and we teach you how.

Taught by Garrett Ridley — twenty years of dogs, and he wrote the book the training runs on.
From Command to Commitment — Part Three
From Reactive to Reliable — Part Four

The lecture, no dog.
Come learn the system. Stay after lunch and watch the evaluations, or head home. Garrett teaches the Foundation — what drives your dog and how training is actually built — then reads dogs live in front of the room. No dog of your own to handle, nothing to manage, just the day and a notepad.
Placerville, CA. The workbook is optional — $50 at the table if you want one.
$200
The full Saturday, and your dog is evaluated live by Garrett.
Everything in the lecture, and then you work your dog in a small group with Garrett coaching — what drives him, what kind of dog he is, and your first handling skills with your own hands on the leash. You leave with your dog's training map in writing.
Comes with it:
Every dog is evaluated first. All dogs welcome with accurate disclosure, including dogs with a bite history. One adult handler and one dog per spot. Placerville, CA.
$400
Two hours at your house, built around your dog.
Garrett comes to you, evaluates your dog where the problem actually lives, builds the training map, and teaches you the work with you holding the leash. Everything in the Working Evaluation comes with it.
We book in-home by phone so we can ask about your dog first.

Evaluation seats close the Wednesday before at 9 PM. Open General Admission seats, up until Friday at 9 PM. Twenty evaluation spots per date. All sales are final.
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.
