I enrolled Scout, a 3 yr. old Jack Russell and Rat Terrier mix, in the 8 week obedience program with Matt. Scout is a very active, excitable dog with boundless energy that had some obedience issues. Matt was great from the start, explaining the program and established a good rapport with Scout. Matt was very professional, caring, with great attention to detail. Scout now walks on a loose leash with no problems, without pulling. I can now take him in the woods with no leash and complies with all of my commands. I can now take Scout to Lowe’s or Home Depot with no issues related to pulling, barking and jumping up on other patrons. It was worth every penny I spent for the program and is far superior to some other dog training schools that I tried.

We have two sibling ausidoodles that were very difficult to manage. We couldn’t even walk them on a leash.

My daughter and I happened to see Matt training another puppy at Tractor Supply and approached him to get his information. We looked him up and decided to give him a shot. It was absolutely worth it! Matt spent a lot of time with us explaining everything we were doing. He wrote everything down as well as made videos of our training sessions. We had access to him at all times to ask questions and share videos of our progress/challenges and he would respond with suggestions. We were very hesitant to use e-collars but Matt once again took the time to explain the benefits and proper usage of the collar. He was very diligent about making sure the collar was only used when necessary and set at the lowest level needed for the dog to make the necessary correction, but only once the dog had a good understanding of what they were expected to do.

I now have two doodles that I can confidently take into a store or to a park and know that I am in control.

Exceptional communication throughout the entire training process. Could not have asked for a better experience for both myself and my dog. Every future dog I have will be trained here as well!

I sent my puppy directly from the breeder to Matt for his 3-week board and train program, and the results were nothing short of incredible. When she came back, it was like having a plug-and-play puppy—completely well-behaved, responsive, and a joy to be around. Matt’s expertise and dedication truly transformed her, and I can’t recommend him highly enough. If you’re looking for a seamless training experience that delivers amazing results, Matt is the trainer you need!

I didn’t think so much could be taught in 3 weeks. My puppy came to Matt directly from the breeder, when I got him 3 weeks later he was crate trained, knew the basis commands, slept through the night and was almost fully potty trained. Through out the 3 weeks I was given updates and videos almost daily, Matt communicated the issues he was having with my stubborn puppy and how he was going to adjust the training to get him to learn. At the end of the board and train, Matt not only gave us a detailed schedule for the puppy, he trained us on how to continue training my puppy.
