Dockside Dog Training - Ventura, CA

Josh Spivak

Rich is a really knowledgeable trainer. He has helped me immensely with training my dog for dog sports. His method of training makes sense and explanations are short and to the point. Rich also breeds in my opinion some of the best German shepherds you will ever come across! I have one of his breedings and I cannot say enough good things about the temperament, drives, and the overall resilience of the dog. Thanks Rich for all your help and guidance over the years!

Rich is a great dog trainer. After one session he was able to stop our stubborn Frenchie from sprinting up to other people and furry friends at the park. He also spent a few weeks boarding and loved his time with him.

Worked with Rich initially after getting my Bully breed and was just what I was looking for. Straight forward, knowlegable, flexible, and always available if I have a quick question.

Rich was wonderful to work with - very communicative and also very flexible when our travel plans changed last minute. He sent us text updates and photos of our two dogs while we were away, which we really appreciated. It was comforting to know Rich is a trainer and that our dogs were in very good hands. We will definitely use his service again - highly recommended!!
