Maria Victoria Garcia
Training You & Your Animal Friends
Passionate. Patient. Persistent. Pet-lover. These are just a few of the characteristics that describe me. I know each animal is different, and I’ll work with yours to give them the specific guidance they need. Whether you’re thinking about getting an animal, have a new pet, or already own a pet with behavioral problems, I am here to help.
My Services
Private Lessons
Private Canine Coaching At Your Doorstep
If your animal needs help with a specific obedience or behavioral issue, Private lessons with Riverdog Academy may be a great option for you. Sessions begin in the comfort of your own home with personalized plans to fit your pet’s needs and your lifestyle. As your mechanics and dog's obedience proficiency improve we will meet every 1-4 weeks, beginning in your home, and venturing to parks and dog friendly spaces.
Day Training
Comfortable and Professional
Day Training is a popular service among owners who prefer faster pace results and less work-load than private lessons, but don't want to board their dog. I work closely with each one of my clients and their animals to implement my proven problem solving process. I know you have a busy schedule, so I will customize a plan that suits your lifestyle. Your dog will already have the knowledge when it is time for you to practice with him.
Board and Train
Leave It to the Experts
Riverdog Academy only offers this service to one dog at a time in a home environment and treated as a personal pet, for owners who aren't interested in kennel settings.
We offer different duration packages for different obedience and behavior modification levels.
Don’t wait - contact Riverdog Academy today and give your pets the tools they need to reach their highest potential.

Victoria (Tori) is a great trainer! She offers very flexible schedules for private lessons as well as a variety of classes for you and your pup. She goes above and beyond to make sure you have the best experience possible for both you and your furry friend. I would highly recommend Riverdog Academy to anyone in the Austin-San Marcos area!
Testimonials
Andrew Todd
I adopted a dog that was totally out of control. I took 5 training lessons from Tori at Riverdog Academy and it was life changing. She taught me how to train my dog and she helped me understand how to “talk”to my dog. Now my beautiful pup is a wonderful, well behaved, energetic, member of our household. I have recommended her to all of my dog owning friends.
Brenda P. Asmus
I highly recommend M. Victoria Garcia (Tori). She invests time in you and your dog(s); getting to know the "family" and building a training plan that will really work for you and your dog(s). I cannot stress strongly enough how knowledgable Tori is regarding dog training and behavior. She knows her stuff! Take the time to have a consultation with her and you will learn that you, and more importantly your dog(s) are in expert hands. Stop reading and call her now!
