With so many "trainers" in the area its hard to make a decision on where to send your dog and you get so many different people telling who is the best. When I tell you it only took 5 minutes for my dog to start reacting to there commands and listening i knew this was gonna be good. Matt has done a heck of a job with our doberman Kash. We can take him anywhere now. Pulling on the leash. No more. Acting crazy around other dogs. No more. Every behavior issue we had with him Matt worked on it and improved it ten fold. Bring your dog to AweDogs you have nothing to loose.

Highly recommend Matt He completely transformed how we communicate with my dogs. Instead of just training the dog, Matt took the time to help us truly understand the mechanics of training so we could succeed at home.
With Matt's guidance, we mastered foundational behaviors like place, stay, recall, and heel. Beyond basic obedience, Mat was incredible at helping us navigate aggression calming techniques. We now have the structure, confidence, and tools we need to keep our dogs calm and focused. If you want a trainer who empowers you as an owner, Matt is the best!

Matt was absolutely awesome with our Golden Retriever, Willow! He was incredibly responsive and kept me updated throughout the entire training process, which gave so much peace of mind. We could tell she was genuinely cared for and she came home having learned so much each week that went by. She’s still the same sweet girl we fell in love with, just a more confident, and improved version of herself! We’re so grateful for everything Matt did for her and would highly recommend to anyone looking for a trainer. All of the staff we met as well were super friendly and helpful. Will always recommend AweDogs!

Called for a consultation on getting my chihuahua to use his ramp to get off the bed instead of jumping. Walked me through the process over the phone no issue, worked like a charm, took 2 days and he was using his ramp, no encouragement needed, like it was never an issue.

10/10 recommendation. With a few weeks of training with Jordan and my pup is a new dog. Dior went from being an 80lb fur missile that would lunge and bark at any other animal to a happy and calm dog that could be off leash. Most importantly I learned how to work with a dog who is not motivated by treats or praise.
