Training begins long before a behavior becomes a problem. Starting early helps puppies build confidence, understand expectations, and develop habits that make life together easier.

Good dog training is not a contest of wills. It is a relationship built through timing, attention, trust, and communication as dogs and their people learn how to move through life together.

Force-free training does not mean training without rules or boundaries. It means teaching dogs without relying on pain, fear, or intimidation, while still providing clear guidance, structure, and accountability.

When a dog barks, pulls, refuses to come, or seems to ignore us, it is easy to assume stubbornness. But behavior is often communication. Before correcting your dog, pause and ask what they may be feeling, what they understand, and what they are trying to tell you.

For years, our community has known us as Riverview Kennels. While we're proud of that history, the experience we've been building has grown far beyond what the word "kennel" represents. After years of facility improvements, expanded enrichment programs, enhanced pet care services, and a growing vision for the future, we're excited to introduce Riverview Pet Lodge. Discover the story behind the name change and join us as we celebrate this next chapter of caring for pets and their people.

This Women’s History Month, we’re celebrating Kimberly Guzman, the passionate owner of Riverview Kennels in Bandon, Oregon.

Her story is a testament to the power of women in business and the impact of family-driven entrepreneurship. Read more about her inspiring journey and vision for Riverview Kennels! 🐾✨

We are upgrading our pet care software to Goose. It’s the industry leader and will provide so many new conveniences and tools at your fingertip.

We have so many things to celebrate as we approach the three-year mark of owning Riverview Kennels.

Gasp!!! We aren’t offering complimentary food any longer. You will be surprised (and delighted) to read why we made this change.

Service levels are a convenient and powerful way to maximize your pet’s stay at Riverview Kennels. Your pet will thank you for the upgrade.
