Bio: Alex’s work is grounded in over five years of hands-on experience, ongoing study, and a deep passion for canine behavior. He specializes in behavior modification, aggression rehabilitation, and building functional obedience that fits into real life.

Before opening up Riverview Bark and transitioning to this field full-time, he served as a Director of Client Services in the corporate world, where he developed a strong foundation in leadership and communication. That experience taught him how to break down complex concepts, meet people where they are, and build trust—skills that now play a central role in his coaching style.

Alex believes that true success in dog training comes from empowering the human. When owners feel confident and clear in their leadership, it creates lasting change for both them and their dogs. His approach is tailored to each unique dog-human team, focusing on trust, structure, and clear communication to build stronger, more balanced relationships.

Training Philosophy: Lead with empathy, guide with structure. Behavior change starts with trust—and ends with empowerment on both ends of the leash.

Certifications: Certified Professional Dog Trainer – Knowledge Assessed (CPDT-KA®), AKC Canine Good Citizen Evaluator, with continued education through multiple professional seminars and workshops.

Pack Member: Proud dog dad to Jodie (English Staffy).
