FirstBarkRiverview Bark is hands-down the best dog training and daycare I’ve ever been to. The dogs are well-behaved, get along great, and the staff is selective about who joins; creating a calm, safe environment. Obedience training has been going so well, and I have total peace of mind leaving my dog in their care. Highly recommend!

Have seen this man being rude to people in Riverview Park multiple times because HE needed space for his training in addition to having dogs off leash which is a clear violation of NJ law. Unsure why someone would trust him with their dogs…
Alex is so knowledgeable and a really great teacher. We go for our five year old bully breed who we rescued for private training and she’s learned so much obedience (who says an old dog can’t learn new tricks)! I highly recommend private training especially for bully breed parents and anyone who wants to learn more about dog behavior. It’s been a really rewarding learning experience!

Alex and Christian were invaluable in helping us communicate with our (mostly) good boi! We were having some issues that we were hoping would “fade out” with time (just not a good approach with our dog’s character) and that were increasing. They understood what was happening, patiently explained to us what was needed (healthy boundaries and clear communication and expectations) and by week 4, we basically left with an entirely new (and very happy!!) pup (and owners)! Incredible! The dog psychology and techniques really worked. Our pup is looking for us for leadership and guidance and we know exactly how to communicate limitations clearly. Absolutely love working with Alex and Christian. Their patience and experience helped us tap into the good boi we always knew our dog was. We just needed guidance! If you’re on the fence about needing dog training, you’ve come to the right place!
Alex’s genuine love for dogs and wanting the best for everybody’s dog that comes in for boarding, is refreshing to see.
