At Whits End Dog Training

AWE Is absolutely fantastic! Spoke with Matt multiple times to get an idea of what I needed in regards to training my three pups! Matt was not only very knowledgeable, but personable and a realist! After talking it over, we signed up. Stephanie was our trainer and I can't say this enough, she was fantastic. Stephanie understood what we were looking for, explained the routine we needed to get on and listened to our concerns. Most of the training didn't land on the dogs, but with myself and the way I was giving commands. I learned so much about my dogs and myself throughout dealing with AWE! After 2 lessons, my dogs were behaving better and actually listening. CRAZY. I feel more confident with my dogs and their abilities with on leash and off leash commands. 10/10 highly recommend if you want quality training. You will be surprised at what you can accomplish with your pups if you listen to what they tell you and actually apply it! THANK YOU AWE for your everything!

AWE is outstanding and I feel like saying that is an understatement. I don’t think my wife and I can say enough good things. We have been working with Matt, Candace, and Stephanie since May with our dog Mabel. When we adopted Mabel she had been through 3 owners in 2 years. Mabel has a number of behavioral challenges, notably reactivity and anxiety, that others had tried to manage and failed; and we had tried through other trainers and also failed. Being “at our wits end” we reached out based on others’ positive feedback. Matt came by and helped us assess her and you could immediately tell things were finally on the right track. We put Mabel in a 3 week board and train with Matt and Stephanie, and she came back a dog we could finally love AND manage and control with confidence. She has been back for a tune up since then with all positive success and improvement. To be clear, it is a two way street - as owners we also need to change our behavior and approach which we have (thanks to AWE). But we feel that we finally have to tools and resources to truly help us, love the dog we adopted and give her the life she really deserves. Life changing, truly. Thank you AWE!

AWE changed our lives as far as our dogs go. We did in home training but they also offer board and train. We struggled with our older dog for 4 years on leash training, which also translated into poor habits for our younger dog when she came along. No matter what we did/tried, they pulled us through every walk no matter how long or challenging it was. Matt came to our rescue, and now we have two well-behaved, easy to manage dogs who we can enjoy walks and hikes with. We can let the girls go off leash when visiting houses without fenced yards. Also, I can live my best "crazy dog mom" life making them pose for ALL the pictures. Lastly, we have also used AWE for boarding with a tune up. The girls were well taken care of and I LOVED seeing the video of their training at the end of the stay. 100/10 recommend AWE for all your dog training needs because having best friends instead of beast friends makes being dog parents the best!
