Sully just completed his 5-day Structurally Harmonious Training, and he is a different dog! We sought out Martin because our 15-month-old Labradoodle was so fearful of people, dogs, noises, just about everything. His fears manifested into excessive barking, pulling towards cars, extreme nervousness, and uncontrollable energy. It wasn't easy to take him on walks where there were large numbers of people, cars, or dogs. Martin was so patient with him, and us, and built a good relationship with Sully based on trust. Martin provided us with hands-on training to demonstrate that all the skills Sully learned during his week with Martin were achievable at home. We returned for our one-week follow-up and WE were able to walk Sully around the neighborhood, to the train station, and a nearby church. We were able to practice "Teaching Calm" with him in real life, just like we saw Martin do! Sully just got groomed today, and the groomer said he was a completely different dog! She said she wanted to quit her job and go and work with Martin!!! Thank you Martin and Argos for such tremendous work! We are so grateful and look forward to joining your Pack Walks! Can't believe that is even a possibility!

We really enjoyed our training sessions with Martin! We have a 6 year old dog who is very well trained for obedience and skills, but also tends to be leash reactive on walks. Martin's training methods for leash walking and building confidence on walks are excellent and different from what we have experienced with other trainers in the past. We would definitely recommend working with Martin.

Martin help me with my dog Mister with his poor manners and his help was a game changer. I now have a better understanding of my dog and I’m now able to build an amazing bond with him. Thank you Martin for all your help 10/10 would most definitely recommend.

Couldn’t thank Martin enough. We did the 1 week board and train program. Snoopy is a rescue and has a lot of under socialization. Martin was able to teach me the tools to succeed after the 1 week Snoopy was there. Each day he provided videos about the training. It is so helpful to go back and watch them to ensure I can continue the training at home. I can already see a difference while on a leash, in the house, and being calm. I will continue to stay in touch with Martin and join the weekly pack walks.

We did the 1 week board and train at Argos with Martin and had the BEST experience. We also did his puppy kindergarten program when Finn was a puppy and really enjoyed his attention to the pups and the proper introduction to socialization it provided. The board and train has also been incredible. Martin provides us with the knowledge and support we need to continue to train and help Finn be a well mannered dog. During the 1 week board and train Martin posted daily videos showing what he was working on which we really appreciated. We are planning to continue our relationship with Martin at Argos and be part of the weekly pack walks and other training classes he provides. Would recommend!
