River Town Retrievers is a full-service retriever training facility located in Natchez, MS, along the beautiful bluffs of the Mississippi River. We specialize in Retriever Training, while also offering Obedience Training and Boarding for dogs of all ages and experience levels.

Owned and operated by Leo and Michelle Joseph, River Town Retrievers began in 2016 with a simple goal: to develop outstanding gundogs with solid foundations and steady drive. What started with training hunting dogs and participating in UKC Hunt Tests quickly grew into something more. As we continued to learn and push our program forward, we set our sights on competing at the highest levels — including the Super Retriever Series.

Over the years, we have expanded our experience across multiple competitive venues and built a strong team of trainers, each bringing specialized skill sets to our program. Today, we are proud to work with dogs and owners at every stage, from first retrieves to high-level competition.

At River Town Retrievers, our mission remains the same: build reliable, confident dogs and support the bond between handler and companion — in the field, at home, and everywhere in between.
