At River Valley Veterinary Service we recognize that each dog is an individual. Different breeds require different training methods. The River Valley Veterinary Service Dog School offers friendly, experienced instructors, with classes available for the young and older dog. Our Pups ‘R Us class offers a great experience for the whole family with exceptional information on behavior, socializing and training the new young puppy. It allows your puppy to earn the AKC S.T.A.R. puppy certification. Other adult dog classes are offered to help make a well-mannered and obedient family dog.
