In-home behavior-driven dog training for families in MN, SD and IA
All About Rlc
Our Story
In Person Program
Meet the Trainer
Ridgeline Canine was created to bring practical, real-world dog training directly into the home. Instead of relying on generic class-based methods, the focus is on where it actually happens — around daily routines, neighborhood triggers, and real-life distractions.
The mission is simple: provide clear communication, effective structure, and realistic strategies that support long-term success. From reactivity and anxiety to basic manners and overexcitement, Ridgeline Canine helps families build a more confident and balanced relationship with their dogs in the environment they share every day.

Meet the Trainer
I’m Jess Pohlman, a certified dog trainer with five years of experience working hands-on with behavior cases of all kinds. I’m known for taking on the dogs often labeled reactive, stubborn, dramatic, or difficult — the dogs that simply need clearer communication and a structured approach.
My style is calm, direct, and focused on understanding behavior at its source. I pay close attention to a dog’s environment, triggers, and communication so I can give families practical strategies that work in everyday life.
If your dog has big reactions, big energy, or big emotions, I’m here to help you make sense of it and move forward with confidence.
