Riverbend Canine Training

If you are here reading these reviews wondering if anyone can help your dog and researching for someone to finally help you, you are in the right place. Maybe you feel alone because your dog isn't like other dogs. Maybe you just wish you had a 'normal' and 'behaved' dog. If I am describing you, please contact Brandon and the other trainers at Riverbend Canine Training. You won't regret it. My dog Pike was a tough one to crack. Brandon not only helped train Pike, but gave me tools to help Pike live the life he deserves. So happy I chose Riverbend Canine for my Pike. You will be happy you chose them for your dog too!

There aren’t even words to express how grateful we are for Brandon and RiverBend Canine Training. Our 3 year old pittie rescue was out of control and we were at our wits end. We’d tried another trainer and the behaviors kept getting worse. We were a bane to the neighborhood and law enforcement said if something didn’t change we’d have a legal situation. They said we might just have to put her down. She was anxious and out of control and we felt helpless. When Aspen’s board and training program was up we went and spent several hours being trained by Brandon. The dog we came home with was a completely different dog. She’s obedient, more confident and my daughter can even take her for a walk- something that was impossible a few months ago. We couldn’t have people over before or walk around the neighborhood out of fear of what would happen. Now everything has changed. She’s a pleasure to be around. And he equipped us on what to do when challenges arise - and they work! Brandon not only trained our dog, he also trained us and gave us the tools we needed and gave us a big part of our lives back. And we got to keep a member of our family we were afraid we’d lose. It was worth every penny and we’ll always be grateful.

It is a great pleasure to give Riverbend Canine, Brandon, Cody, and Alisha a Five Star review and kudos for the amazing transformation with Abby. We received Abby from a friend who raised Poodles. She was no longer able to raise and breed them. Abby is a ten month old puppy that was a wild child when we received her. Looking for dog training and possible therapy training we choose Riverbend based on reviews and personal friends who had Brandon and the team train their fury friends. The team brought out the best in Abby and us. Their training treats both the dog and the family to be great partners in doing life on the journey. The transformation was amazing. We now have a great family member and a therapy dog that works with individuals that need some love. Abby is so loving and enjoys doing her good. I would recommend giving them a call for a consultation in order for them to evaluate the issues you may be having and possible remedies so you can have a great family member. Be well and encouraged,

The team over at Riverbend Canine are life savers. My pup marlboro was having intense reactivity issues, we could hardly walk him without him lunging at other dogs, barking, and a whole myriad of other bad behaviors. I reached out to Brandon about getting some training and he instantly set us up with the perfect plan to get marlboros issues resolved. I surveyed 10+ other facilities to train marlboro, they were all lacking in my core values to train my dog and did not make me comfortable with leaving my dog with them, this was until I found Riverbend. Brandon, Alisha, and the entire team made me feel so comfortable with leaving my puppy with them. They do not only train the puppy, they also educate you and help you learn how to continue making your dog a better dog. After two weeks of Marlboros training with Alisha and Brandon, marlboros obedience was immensely better and he was able to go out in public without reacting and showing signs of aggression. Marlboro now walks in crowded public spaces, knows commands, and is a completely better dog! Getting this training has not only made my life easier, but it has made my dog a more confident and proficient dog. There is not a better team to learn from and send your puppy to than Riverbend Canine. The pictures Included are marlboro now in public working on obedience and his confidence. I would recommend them for anyone looking for the perfect team to work with!

This training was amazing! I’ve had my dog Leo for almost 5 years now. Most of my friends and family didn’t like him. He was the dog that everyone wanted to stay away from. This forced me to keep him locked up when guests were over. He’d also bark a lot while I was trying to work (I work from home) so I’d have to put him away while working. So he ended up being locked away all day. I’m also going on a trip out of country this summer. I asked a few people if they could watch him but they wouldn’t do it even if I paid them. It’s very sad to hear that about your pet (especially knowing they are right) I was scared for a minute that I’d have to get rid of him bc I wanted to travel and I know it would be rough to bring him with me. He is a good dog, he just gets a little skittish around new people. But luckily Brandon and his team at riverbend were able to not only teach him how to be more well behaved, but also show me how to make sure he behaves himself long term. Now I can keep him with me while I work and bring him around friends. And ofc I can leave the country knowing my dad won’t be scared of Leo bitting him. Thank you Brandon, you have done amazing work! Would definitely recommend to EVERY dog owner (not just if your dog is misbehaving) I think every dog could benefit from this service.
