I'm so grateful to Matt with his help with our Brendoodle. I have always had dogs and never had an issue with training them until her. We too her to two sections and saw an improvement but then had to be out of town for a week so Matt boarder trained her. We cam home to a new dog. She comes when we call her and follows all command. The best part she is still a fun loving puppy. He trained her with love along with disabled so she is very lovable and well mannered. Thank you so much Matt. Not sure I would have got the same results with any other trainer.
