Control is Key trained my 11 week old rottweiler puppy “Nyx”. I highly recommend Mike for anyone in need of expert puppy training – especially their board and train program! I was impressed with their two week boarding program, during that time they worked on housebreaking, crate training, and establishing a routine. Mike made the entire process stress-free and positive from the very beginning. During the overnight training, my puppy received consistent care, structure, and gentle guidance. I was amazed at the progress in such a short time. Not only was my puppy sleeping through the night and 98% potty trained, but she was also learning basic commands and becoming more confident and calm. Mike kept me updated with pictures, videos, and progress messages, which made me feel confident in their care. They clearly love what they do and it shows in the way they treat both the dogs and their owners. When picking up my puppy, Mike took the time to teach me the commands and how to present those commands to my puppy enabling me to continue training my puppy at home. If you are looking for someone who’s patient, professional, and truly passionate about dogs, look not further. Mike is a gamechanger!

Wonderful group. Worked with my new pup and me. Can’t say enough good things about this highly professional group. Very results driven and took personal care to ensure we had the tools to continue the training. Highly recommend.

I was referred to Matt @ Control is Key through a co-worker. I learned a lot about using commands, consistency and repetition. We worked in various locations to put what we learned into action. This allowed me to see that my pets were improving. It also shows how they are around other animals and people. Matt & Mike are very knowledgeable and professional. They go out of their way to find out what you want and need and how to get you to the finish line.

Ashley boarded and trained my dog Hudson for two weeks and I was extremely pleased with the results. I can hardly even recognize the behavior of my dog, he is so much more receptive to commands. I also appreciate that the team works with you after you board your dog to ensure you continue to work on training your dog the right way. Would highly recommend!

We met Matt and Susan at a community event and they took the time (a lot of time) to answer our questions. Being first time dog owners and dealing with a dog off the streets they were very eager for the challenge! We are extremely happy with their training of our American Staffardshire Terrior and especially us. We learned a great deal, not only about obedience, but on how to read our dog’s reactions. We would not hesitate to get additional training from Matt and his staff. Another trainer deemed our Amstaff as aggressive. Matt saw Shelby’s goodness. We can’t thank him enough! Matt, Mike and Susan – Thank You!
