River Valley Dog Training

River Valley Dog Training offers private in-home lessons and immersive training camps conducted in a real home setting.

The Private Puppy Session is a single in-home session focused on puppy management, potty/crate training, proper play manners, and leash introduction. Their immersive camps, ranging from 2 to 4 weeks, cater to different needs: the Puppy Camp (10-20 weeks) focuses on potty training, leash walking, and socialization; the Basic Camp (5 months to 4 years) covers basic commands, house manners, and leash walking; the Standard Camp (over 5 months) addresses common adolescent behaviors; and the Premium Camp (older dogs, extreme cases) is tailored for advanced training and behavior modification, including aggression, extreme fear, or separation anxiety. All camp programs include private lessons at pickup and follow-up lessons.
