The Hill Country Dog Trainer

My experience with Matt was nothing less than exceptional. He was very transparent about what training would entail and with every bit of progress my dog was making along the way. We put our 9 month old large breed puppy in the board and train program to give him a solid foundation on obedience and correct some behavioral issues before they got out of hand. Every concern I expressed in our intake forms were addressed thoroughly and after 3 weeks the dog I picked up was noticably more confident and aware of what I expect of him. I would highly recommend Matt to anyone wanting some help with their dog! Thank you again Matt!

Our three year old heeler went through the Board and Train program, and we're so happy we did so. He'd been exposed to the fundamentals, but didn't have enough repetition to really make them stick. Matt did an amazing job as not only taking him through the paces again and again, but also teaching us how to effectively continue and reinforce the lessons learned at home. Matt explained the program in full ahead of time, and sent us regular update videos. When we picked up our heeler Matt had a full print out packet of the skills, and took extensive time to walk us through them. I would recommend Matt's Board & Train program to those interested.

Matt was excellent! We have a Brittany mix 6 month old and sent him off with Matt to train after getting a recommendation from a friend. Not only did he listen to our concerns and correct our pup, he trained him on lots of different commands and overall has made him fit in even more seamless with our family! He is very communicative and sends videos about your pups milestones throughout the week. We have no complaints and would definitely recommend Matt to anyone looking to help your dog be his/her best puppy self!

We recently had the pleasure of working with Matt at The Hill Country Dog Trainer, and we can't recommend him highly enough! From the moment we walked in, Matt made us feel welcome and understood our goals for training our dog, Ranger. What truly stood out was Matt’s ability to tailor the training approach to fit Ranger's personality and energy level. The techniques used were not only effective but also focused on positive reinforcement, which made the whole process enjoyable for both our dog and us. Throughout the stay, Matt was incredibly patient and knowledgeable, answering all our questions and providing valuable insights into dog behavior. The progress made in just a few weeks was remarkable—Ranger is now more obedient, confident, and well-mannered. The environment was always positive and encouraging, making it easy for us to practice at home. We also appreciated the follow-up support and resources provided after the training. If you're looking for a trainer who truly cares about both dogs and their owners, Matt and The Hill Country Dog Trainer is the one to choose!
