Matt’s classes are excellent, his private sessions will definitely get your dog to the next level ! He explains everything to you . He’s not just worked w/me but helped my wife & 2 kids learn how to handle our Malinois. Our dog is always excited to see him!

The folks at IronHeart can teach you from new handler to experienced. I was a handler before going to pick up my new pup and still learned from these wonderful folks!
