Pet Sitting & Training
Ridgeside K9, LLC - Dog Training
19971 Ridgeside Rd, BluemontGina Furtado at RidgeK9 deserves a million trillion zillion stars. I drove five hours with my doberman Simon to board and train with her and it was the best thing I could ever do for us.
A little backstory- Simon is a stray with an unknown history and is approximately 2 years old. He’s a sweet boy but has impulse control issues and is highly reactive to people on motorcycles, scooters, and bikes. He tries to bite them and has unfortunately succeeded. I joke (while crying inside) he’s like Jekyll and Hyde.
Because we live in NJ, although I had heard of Gina from Simon’s foster, I sent him to a different trainer in NY who had extensive experience with dobermans (FYI who competed and won global doberman championships and trains personal protection dogs), with lots of 5 star reviews. A month after Simon returned from this NY board and train, I was still having the same issues, even though I was doing everything the trainer had taught me. I even spent an afternoon at the police station after Simon jumped out the car window at a VERY busy four way intersection and bit a neighborhood man who was riding his bicycle down the street, minding his own business. This was a very dangerous situation and the worst Simon had ever reacted.
I couldn’t afford to send him to yet another board and train unless I knew it was someone who could really help us. I was stressed out and hopeless. ENTER GINA! From the moment I reached out, her communication was so crystal clear. I knew her communication skills as a dog trainer would be just as excellent, if not more. She considers every angle and then breaks it down in simple terms I can understand. I told her Simon’s history, and just from this limited information she told me exactly what she thought the issues were and told me what I could do in the meantime, and what she would work on during the board and train.
During the three weeks Gina had him in Virginia, she sent me a very detailed daily update about what they worked on together, accompanied by the most beautiful pictures and videos. I love that Simon was trained by a woman, not some macho man, and such a kind and caring one at that, who not only showed him exactly what he should do, but gave him so much love during the whole process. She is so calm, patient, and clear, and this made all the difference! Although I was a bit delirious from the drive when I went to pick him up, we had a three hour turnover where she educated me on exactly what I should do in specific situations. We practiced on each other and then she patiently supervised and guided me while I practiced those skills and new knowledge on Simon.
Also, Simon was getting very chubz. Gina weighed him, got him lean and supermodel sexy in 3 weeks and even gave him a bath the night before pick up!
As soon as we got home that night, I took Simon out for a walk, and while on the walk, he suddenly just sat and looked at me. I was like, what are you doing cute boi? And then I saw the bike that had passed by us. LET ME REPEAT: Simon saw the bike before I did and simply sat and looked at me WITHOUT ANY CORRECTION. I immediately shoved pieces of steak in his mouth, and even though Gina told me I needed to be buddha level calm at all times, I almost cried with joy.
Being back home, I honestly felt a bit overwhelmed, questioning if I can really do this and am I going to mess it all up? But Gina continues to send me key pointers, encouragement, and offers me advice so that I can continue the good work.
Thank you Gina for all that you have done for us. I really can’t thank you enough. If I listed all the ways you went above and beyond, this review would be a hundred pages. The board and train was “bootcamp,” but Simon had the time of his life. You are truly a magician and we will never ever forget you.

Pet-Friendly Restaurants
Bear Chase Brewing Company
33665 Bear Chase Ln, BluemontBear Chase is always a great time, whether you want to listen to live music inside, or take in the amazing views outside. And of course, the beer is fantastic, too. Plenty of space for the kids to run around outside, and a number of fire pits to keep you warm during the colder months.

Henway Hard Cider
18780 Foggy Bottom Rd, BluemontThe cider was delightful, with the blueberry lavender being my favorite. Despite the busy atmosphere, our drinks and food arrived quickly. However, the food could have been warmer it tasted a little cold; while the tacos were decent, the chicken tenders and pretzel tasted like food you get in the frozen food section and put in the microwave not to mention they were also cold. I’d love to see more fresh, handmade options on the menu since we really believed the cider was amazing!!
