The Muttley Cru

I can’t say enough good things about The Muttley Cru. I brought my dog Cosmo to them because she has serious anxiety, especially around people, and I honestly wasn’t sure how much progress was even possible. From the first sessions—both private dog training and group dog training classes—it was clear these trainers truly know what they’re doing. Michelle and the team, including Madeline, worked closely with me and Cosmo on reactive dog training, dog behavior training, and dog obedience training, and the results were real—not quick fixes, but lasting change. They helped me properly use a prong training collar (safely and responsibly), successfully crate train Cosmo, teach her core commands like sit, stay, and most importantly, showed me how to correctly walk her on leash, read her body language, and handle situations around other people and dogs. What really stood out was how much education I received as the human. I learned what to do—and what not to do—when dealing with anxiety, reactivity, and overstimulation. They gave me practical tools to calm her down, redirect her focus, and build confidence instead of reinforcing fear. That made all the difference. If you’re searching for professional dog training near me, dog obedience training, reactive or aggressive dog training, or even in-home dog training, The Muttley Cru is absolutely worth it. They offer effective, structured training that actually works, whether you’re doing one-on-one sessions or group classes. Their dog training facility is based in Chester County, PA, but I would easily recommend them to anyone looking for dog trainers in Montgomery County, Berks County, Delaware County, or the Lancaster area. This was one of the best investments I’ve made—not just for Cosmo, but for myself as a dog owner. Nothing happens overnight, if you stick with it (it is a grind), your patience will be rewarded. Highly recommended. Thank You Guys!!!!!!

My experience with Muttley Cru so far has been nothing short of life changing for my (fear reactive) dog and I. Michele and her team are knowledgeable, discerning, caring & encouraging. They have given me some very effective tools and steps for managing/rehabilitating my reactive rescue. I appreciate their transparency regarding the amount of work/dedication it takes to help my dog to become more confident/less reactive and their willingness to take it session by session. Their “homework” and advice is simple and practical. Even if I don’t ultimately “succeed” in rehabilitating my beloved pup, gaining knowledge in how to handle him and become a more assertive/confident leader for him (and in life) has been invaluable.
