Tame Dog Training & Boarding

I connected with TDT regarding my dog's fear-based aggression. I was at the point of being uncertain whether I could keep him and was also being told it would not be advisable to rehome him. Matt was amazingly helpful and provided me with insight that restored my hope. I was also in a time crunch as I am relocating and need to be able to safely board him within a few weeks. He was so accommodating and went above and beyond for us. I haven't even met him in person yet, but I would recommend him without hesitation.

We had pleasure of bringing our puppy Loki to this fantastic dog training facility and we couldn’t be more impressed with overall experience. It was clear that Matt (owner) takes great pride in keeping the facility spotless, which instantly put me at ease. This level of cleanliness showed me that they genuinely care about dog’s health. Matt was incredibly friendly and welcoming. You could tell right away that they are passionate and love what they do. Matt and Rylie took the time to greet our dog the first time and made sure to explain the training process clearly, answering any questions we had with patience and expertise. It’s rare to find this kind of reception given everything is so corporate now. One thing we really appreciate is Matt’s training philosophy. Matt and Rylie always focused on positive reinforcement, also recognize that a little guidance is sometimes necessary for puppy/dog to set boundaries and encourage good behavior. Matt found a perfect balance, always emphasizing trust and clear communication between me and my pup. Loki responded incredibly well to this approach and we noticed significant improvements after puppy training. Overall, I highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a safe, clean, and caring environment. Matt’s philosophical approach, professionalism made it an outstanding experience for me and my dog.

We can't say enough about Matt and his training of our little Frenchie. He was so wired all day long and never would nap or just stay in one place. He chewed everything, pulled us all over the place when we took a walk and just barked all the time. After completing Matt's standard program he has shown so much progress in all of those areas. Now don't expect perfection as soon as you bring them home, you still need to work with him to reinforce what he learned with Matt and his group. But it is only for 5-10 minutes a day and Leon just bounces back to his training. I also love Matt's guarantee that anything they taught we can bring them back for some help if they are struggling with it to get him back to doing those things. Also we plan on using his boarding service so Leon can get a refresher while we are out of town. The area around Matt's house is very shaded so even in the hot summer the dogs had a place to work out of the sun. The main thing is we are confident that with the tools Matt has given us to work with we have a loving dog that people are excited to meet when they come over to our house. I highly recommend Matt and his training methods and would use him again if we were to add another dog to our family!

We highly recommend Matt and his team as his training techniques and philosophy definitely changed our anxious and semi-aggressive 8 year old 125 pound German Sheppard. Despite good boot camp training at an early age and continuous reinforcement, due to unfortunate attacks during our walks by irresponsible pet parents "unleashed dogs" Khoda became extremely anxious and aggressive towards people and others dogs, so it was difficult to ever take him on walks or have people over our house because we had to put him away in our rooms or introduce him to our friends or family a certain way in order for him to be fine with them and not fear a bite or aggression. We needed help again. People would say, we want to pet him, he's such a beautiful dog, we want to love on him and it would break my heart to know, he was such a loving dog and deserved that but he needed that training to help him overcome the fear of people and other animals. So we called Matt. When my husband and I sat down with him and he explained his methods of training and then at the end when we picked Khoda up and saw how he was just so relaxed around the other animals I just could not believe it. I thought, well let's see how he does with a big crowed of people; let's host Christmas! OMG! As people started walking in, he just sat there, relaxed, came up to everyone and asked for pets, didn't bark and interacted with all the company, no incidents. I was so relieved and beyond happy. I didn't think this was possible. I understand as a pet owner, we have the responsibility to know our pets limitations and we need to watch for signs and be mindful, we too need training :) Thank you Matt. You are awesome and thank you from the bottom of my heart for helping our Khoda be his best version of himself and helping us understand our baby is not an aggressive dog but anxious baby that just needs redirection. Well Khoda will be visiting you soon for Boarding so see you soon! THANK YOU AGAIN!!
