15+ Years Professional Dog Training Experience
Trent is the lead trainer at Ridgeside K9 Charlottesville, bringing over 15 years of professional dog training experience to the Charlottesville area. He leads a team of industry-leading trainers who are so highly regarded that other professionals seek their guidance to improve their own programs. Trent specializes in addressing complex behavioral issues including aggression, reactivity, and off-leash reliability, using balanced training methods that create lasting results for dogs and their families.
“Trent and his team absolutely changed my family's life. Our Coco went from being unable to be in the same room as our cat, being very difficult to walk and disobedient to being the best big sister to our cat and the best partner for long walks. With constant at home training we have seen our girl's quality of life increase so much.”
“We used Ridgeside K9's 3-week board and train program for our 2-year-old pup, and we couldn't be happier with the results! Our dog showed significant positive changes, especially in her reactivity and her off-leash recall during hikes. This improvement has been a game-changer for us.”
“Ridgeside K9 Charlottesville exceeded every expectation I had. This wasn't just another dog training facility—it's a sanctuary for truly understanding and enhancing the relationship between you and your dog.”
