I almost thought I was going to have to rehome one of my dogs till I found Matt. Our boxer was starting fights with our other dog after being together for 4 years(both female). Not anymore. Our boxer has become more calm and obedient since working with Matt. Now they curl up together and get along great. Our house is finally calmer. If you’re looking for a great trainer call Hard Nose K9 Services. Thank you Matt!

I had a little experience with training bird dogs and ended up with a rescue mutt, I did not want to repeat mistakes I made in the past. Mr. Matt show me the skills I was missing and worked me through the issues (it’s always the two legger that’s messing things up). Matt showed me how to make my pup confident in herself and in me as her Dad. He is easy going and a true dog person. I would recommend him to anyone ….!

Matt was great to work with. I took our pup to puppy class’s but I need someone to see to come to our home & give advice & training. I loved how he interacted with Skye. He knew immediately what our problem was. Private lesson’s we’re the BEST.! We plan to have him back in the spring….he also trained us💕

Our 5 year old dog struggles with managing her emotions. We spoke with many different dog professionals and worked consistently with her but couldn’t really help her manage her high arousal. Her obedience is pretty good but she would constantly “scream” when she saw something move on walks. After a board and train with Matt, we are now able to successfully go on walks again with her without the constant stress we all felt when she was in that high arousal state. She is still a work in progress but it’s like night and day when you compare before and after the board and train.

Our puppy was reactive to other dogs. We reached out to Matt when other trainer’s techniques didn’t work. Our puppy showed unbelievable improvement after one lesson. A second lesson fine tuned our training and we continue to see improvement.
