CLASS IS IN SESSION

Welcome to the Riverview Bark Day Academy – where canine potential meets expert guidance! At our academy, we are dedicated to helping your dog unleash their full potential through a combination of proven techniques and consistency. Our comprehensive program covers a spectrum of essential skills, focusing on key areas such as confidence building, engagement, reactivity, resource guarding, basic manners and obedience, leash etiquette, proper socialization, addressing aggression and more.

We understand that every dog is unique, and we tailor our methods to suit individual needs, ensuring a personalized and effective learning experience. Through our Day Academy, we not only equip your dog with essential skills but also empower you, the dog parent, with the knowledge and tools needed to reinforce positive behaviors at home.

Consistency is the cornerstone of our training philosophy. Our structured program, combined with follow-up sessions for dog parents, ensures that the training principles are seamlessly integrated into daily life. By fostering a strong bond between you and your dog, we strive to create a more manageable, well-behaved, and ultimately happier dog - and better quality of life!

Join us at our Day Academy, where we're committed to guiding your dog to become the best versions of themselves.

    Please note:

    • We require an evaluation of all dogs prior to Day Academy. This is an essential process to assess a dog's behavior, temperament, and suitability for our program.

    • For the safety and well-being of younger pups, we are unable to accommodate dogs under 6 months in our Day Academy program.

  • Certain behaviors may require more time for correction, given that each dog learns at its own pace. Our tailored weekly programs are designed to accommodate your dog's specific requirements. For instance, basic obedience and leash manners may take approximately 2-3 weeks, while addressing resource guarding or aggression may require a minimum commitment of 4-6 weeks. Our approach ensures that the duration and focus of the program align with the unique learning pace and challenges of your individual dog.

    After the evaluation, we'll design a tailored strategy specifically for you and your dog. Your personalized plan will be crafted based on the unique aspects of your dog's behavior, ensuring a customized approach that addresses their individual needs and enhances overall well-being.
