Riverdog

We provide a positive, balanced approach to canine training, daycare, and grooming services for families who own and love their dogs. Founded in 1996, we've trained and cared for thousands of dogs -- and even more people. With over two dozen gifted dog enthusiasts on staff, we do our work on a fir-lined campus in Issaquah, Washington-a patch of dog nirvana about 30 minutes from Seattle by car (with or without your head hanging out the window.) See our Services. Why Riverdog is a breed apart. Nobody in the Puget Sound region trains and cares for dogs like we do. Our programs-based on the concepts of positive rewards and clear communication-are developed in consultation with the finest trainers in the world. And we never stop learning: we continually update our methods, seeking out and studying with leading dog behaviorists to ensure that our daycare and training programs are based on the best concepts and research. Most importantly, we know our superior skills are only helpful if we're as good with people as we are with pooches. So we only hire gifted dog enthusiasts who are as adept at working with you as they are at working with your pup. Life is not the Westminster Dog Show. Our training, daycare, and grooming programs are for regular dogs living with regular families-people pressed for time and energy, who, much as they love their dogs, have things to do besides perfecting Rex's pose. Whether your dog needs training, more exercise, or simply a decent haircut, our work is completely focused on helping almost any dog become a better, more enjoyable family pet.
