Riverview Bark

River View Bark has been amazing for my dog’s reactivity. Before training, walks were stressful and I didn’t feel confident handling certain situations. After working with Alex one-on-one, I’ve seen such a positive change. Alex took the time to understand my dog, gave me clear tools to use, and was incredibly patient throughout the process. Now my dog is calmer, more focused, and I finally feel like we’re a team. I’m so grateful for Alex’s help and highly recommend River View Bark to anyone dealing with reactivity or behavior issues.

​Alex and the team at Riverview Bark are absolutely incredible. They helped our dog, Moose, overcome his reactivity towards other dogs and transformed him from an unconfident, reactive dog into a calm and self-assured one. Alex was able to get to the root of Moose's problem—his lack of confidence—and created a clear plan to address it. ​We enrolled Moose in several of Riverview's programs, including SmartPlay and their board-and-train program. Both helped him gain confidence and a better understanding of his role in the world, all without changing his lovable, people-pleasing personality. ​Riverview Bark is more than just a dog school; it's a growing pillar in the community. We often see Alex and his team around Jersey City Heights, either training other dogs or simply enjoying life. It's great to see a business so involved in the community. ​I can't recommend their services enough.

We brought our extremely fearful rescue dog to Riverview Bark in hopes they could help her build some confidence. Alex was amazing with our pup and did lots of exposure and obedience training, she went from pulling on the leash with her belly on the floor to being able to walk beside us with a loose leash. She still had a long way to go but thanks to Alex and the team at Riverview Bark she made immense progress in just 3 weeks. They were always very kind and clear with their directions. We could not recommend them enough!!!!
