Matt

Matt's passion for dog training began at 20 years old, and it has shaped every step of his career since. He works with dogs of every breed and every age, from puppies to seniors, and he specializes in behavior modification, foundational and advanced obedience, dog reactivity, and anxiety-related cases. Beyond family-dog training, Matt competes in PSA (Protection Sports Association), where he has developed high-level skills both as a handler and as a decoy, experience that gives him an unusually deep read on canine drive, body language, and pressure, and that he brings back to every dog in his program.

Matt believes there is no one-size-fits-all approach to training: you train the dog in front of you. Every dog is an individual, so every program he builds starts with who that dog actually is, not a system forced onto them. At the end of the day, his passion is working with dogs and helping owners bring out the best in them, because trained dogs are cooler!
