*Best Dog in the Campground* Skeeter went to training with Brandon last fall and came back the same loveable, sweet goofy boy but with MANNERS! Before, any family trips were just us, with Skeeter left behind as we couldn’t trust him to behave and it was stressful constantly pulling him back on the leash. Now, we’re leash free at the campground, with perfect recall and he has been declared the best dog there. He listens faithfully and is a constant companion with us on all our adventures! I can’t thank Brandon enough! Skeeter has a much better quality of life as he’s with us on all our adventures now!

I cannot say good enough things about Riverbend Canine Training! Brandon was extremely attentive and had a thorough phone call with me when deciding which training would be best for my golden retriever puppy Bruce. He answered all my questions and more! We dropped Bruce off with Maryl for the month and WOW! She was the most loving, caring, and passionate trainer. She kept us updated throughout the entire month and also cared SO much about just making sure Bruce was taken care of and loved on. We recently picked him up and there is such a difference in his behavior. I am so happy with the care we received, but also the effort put into Bruce. You can tell Maryl truly spent so much time training him. He is such an amazing pup now! He is calmer, more well behaved, and listens so much better. Thank you to Maryl and Riverbend Canine Training!!!

Turned over my Labradoodle to the care of Brandon for 6 weeks. I was unable to finish Blue’s service training myself. We got home and it has been an awesome experience. Taking him for our first walk together was refreshing! No pulling with him taking me for the walk. Staying where I place him. What a great experience. I am looking forward to continuing a few lessons for myself. lol, I’m in need of that.

Sent my 1 year old coonhound mix for the board and train. She is much calmer and is listening so much better. Love that her trainer kept me updated with pupdates while she was with her. I highly recommend them

I can’t speak highly enough about Marc Hiser’s training. After working with Marc, our once fearful and reactive dog is living his best life. Marc helped us change how Franklin sees the world and feels about himself in that world. If you’re serious about training your dog (and yourself) or have the slightest desire for rock solid off-leash freedom and obedience, you need to give Marc a call - he’s a game changer!
