River Valley DOGS Obedience Training Dog trainer specializing in basic obedience, behavior mod., and puppies. Located in Prior Lake MN. Think of it as a K-9 K-12 education.

My goal as your trainer is to teach you and your family to speak the language of dogs and to provide you with all the tools you will need to build a high functioning relationship with your K-9 companion. This program is designed to challenge both the customer and their 4-legged BFF to learn to work together. Every member of the family that is old enough to handle the dog is encouraged to participa

te. Training a dog is not an easy task, but I will teach you what you need to know in order to accomplish your goals as a dog owner.

Thanks Prior Lake Chamber of Commerce!!!

🐶👏 A huge thank you to Jake, owner of River Valley DOGS Obedience Training for sharing amazing insights with our Tuesday 9:30 PriorNet group this morning!

Dog training is important, but it doesn’t have to be stressful. Jake offers private, in-home training (or virtual options!) to help strengthen the bond between you and your pup—leading to a happier dog and a happier family! 🐾✨

Nothin but trouble!!! But sweet as pie… Love this pup.

Miracles Story:

Miracle was 7 months old when she was brought to an emergency vet with life threatening injuries. She had been shot in the face, missing half of her lower jaw, and the bullet had lodged into her back leg causing permanent damage to her knee.

Needless to say, Miracle suffers from some serious behavioral issues as a result. At home, she’s as sweet and affectionate as any dog could be. But in public, she’s as reactive as any dog I’ve ever worked with. We’re about 1.5 months into the training, and the results have been miraculous to see. She’s extremely responsive to basic commands, extremely eager to please, and at 10 years old, she’s as fast to learn new skills as any young pup I’ve ever seen. She’s learning to be confident and cooperative with her owner, and he’s learning to guide her to make better choices, and her incidents of reactivity are becoming increasingly less intense, and less frequent.

This dog is a miracle, and she deserves a round-of-a-paws!

Naps after training allow the dog to process all the new information and helps them to remember it all! Follow a training session with a cool down activity and a nap for best results. #priorlake #dogsofinstagram #doberman #dobermanpuppy #dogtraining #shakopee

Underdstanding The Language of Dogs

My Basic Obedience Program is Designed to grow and foster a lifelong trust between the client and their 4-legged companion. Focusing on the “Relationship Based” approach to K9 Obedience Training allows me to remain fluid in my techniques, and cater each training plan to meet the needs of each individual customer. Whether you are a brand new puppy family with no idea where to start the training process, or an individual who needs a quick refresher on how to stop your dog from jumping all the time. Understanding K9 body language, and knowing how to effectively communicate with your dog are the foundational aspects of all obedience training. I started River Valley DOGS in order to help clients understand what their dog is trying to tell them. Once you can speak their language, there’s no limit to how far you can take their training. This program is meant to be a “K9 K-12” education for both the dog and you!
