Riverview Bark

I can’t say enough about how incredible the whole team at Riverview Bark is. We signed up our 5 year old reactive beagle bull Penny for day training, and in just THREE DAYS we saw a difference. Alex was able to identify Penny’s unique problems, part of which involved retraining us as owners. Together, we worked through her reactivity, separation anxiety and overstimulation… and what we as owners were doing that contributed to those behaviors. Today, Penny can walk by other dogs without freaking out and without pulling, she knows her commands, and has become an overall more calm dog. We are even able to let her off leash in wide open spaces, knowing that she will pay attention to us—something I never thought was possible. I’m so glad we took Penny for classes and would recommend RB to anyone who needs training.

I couldn’t be happier with the care and attention my dog received! They truly are dog whisperers—gentle, patient, and completely tuned in to what pets need. My pup, who’s usually nervous around new people, relaxed within minutes and even wagged his tail through the first session. Beyond pet care, they gave me practical tips that made a huge difference in leash walking and managing separation anxiety. It feels great to know my dog is safe, happy, and understood. Highly recommend to anyone who wants more than just basic pet sitting—this is real connection and care

I sent my dog here for a 6 week board and train program. We were having a really hard time with his reactivity and lack of control. From our first meeting, Alex was incredibly informative and gave us a very honest and thorough assessment of our dog’s behavior. After 6 weeks, our dog returned home so much calmer, confident and comfortable with his surroundings. Most importantly, we received tools to continue working with him at home. Bringing our dog to Riverview Bark was the best decision I made since adopting. It’s been life changing. I only wish we had done it sooner. I can’t say enough good things and recommend them to anyone who needs help with their dog.

I was honestly hesitant to sign up my 4.5 lb Chihuahua, Noor, because of her size, but I knew she needed some basic obedience training. She joined the day training group, and every week I noticed such a difference in her. Crate time used to feel impossible, but now she goes in and settles down like a pro. After 5 weeks, I’m so glad I made this decision—Noor has learned so much and really feels like part of the PACK now! RiverviewBark is such a wonderful place—the trainers are knowledgeable, patient, and caring. Your dog is in good hands with them. I cannot recommend them enough!

Alex has truly been a lifesaver! Our Boston terrier, Vito, is full of energy and personality, and we were struggling to manage his impulses and behavior. Alex not only helped Vito learn how to channel that energy in a positive way, but also taught my husband and me how to work with him effectively. The training offered at Riverview Bark has made a huge difference in our day-to-day life, and the daycare services give Vito a fun, safe outlet to socialize and play. We feel so supported and confident now, thanks to Alex and the amazing team at Riverview Bark. Highly recommend to any dog parent looking for expert guidance and a caring environment!
