Matt and Rylie took Duncan, my adopted crazy GSM, from wild child to the best behaved boy! I highly recommend Tame Dog Training for your puppy or older dog like Duncan. You will be very pleased with the results! Thank you to Matt and Rylie!

Matt and the team at Tame Dog Training are fantastic! From basic on/off leash and obedience training to advanced behavioral correction. Thanks again Matt & team!

Can't say enough good about Matt and his trainers. Our Great Pyr had been abused and was not responding well to training but they taught her how to learn and conditioned her very well. The ecollars they use are not shock collars at all, just very high quality muscle stimulators. I would take my dog back for boarding or refreshers anytime.

We sent our 1 year old Goldendoodle, Melon, to Matt and his team, and we were genuinely impressed with the results. Before training, it felt like Melon had little to no obedience with us. He had even started to growl at times and was becoming more openly defiant, which was stressful and honestly a little scary. The biggest win for us wasn’t just the behavior change, it was learning so much about Melon and how to work with him in a way that actually made sense. I also really liked how the training was structured and easy to follow. The first session focused on foundational commands, the second built on that with more advanced work, and the third session will be done in our home to make sure Melon could generalize the skills in our everyday environment. Matt explained everything clearly, kept things practical, and made the process feel doable for us as owners. We had a really positive experience and would recommend him to anyone looking for real results and solid support.

I can’t recommend Matt enough for the incredible job he did with my dog, Sky. After completing training with Matt and his team, Sky has shown remarkable improvement in so many areas. Sky’s recall and door manners are excellent now, making life at home so much easier. One of the biggest changes is how much Sky’s whining has decreased – he’s so much calmer and more relaxed. Walking him has also become a joy; he’s no longer aggressive and has significantly improved with leash pulling. On top of that, he consistently obeys basic commands like sit, down, stay, and no. What sets Matt apart is his ongoing support – once your dog is trained by him, you have the option to board with him in the future, where the training continues every time. It’s a fantastic way to reinforce everything Sky has learned. The pricing is reasonable for the quality of training provided, and the results speak for themselves. I’m grateful to Matt and his team for their dedication and patience with Sky. If you’re looking for a skilled and compassionate dog trainer, Matt is definitely the person to go to!
