We're grateful of our experience with the 10-day package of day school for our 6 month chocolate Lab, Seamus. Behavioral and obedience improvements were evident after one day. After each session, Matt taught us how to connect w/Seamus and reenforce the base knowledge that he'd instilled through the training, an aspect of dog training often overlooked. We're an experienced Lab family and Matt delivered what other trainers only promised with our other Labs. Seamus has now graduated to mentor dog and we couldn't be happier with the progress. We never expected to have a Lab this well behaved at what is now 7 months. Thanks Matt!
Absolute game-changer and highly recommended!For months, I searched all over social media trying to find the right dog trainer, and I ultimately chose Matt because I believed he was the absolute best around here. I am so glad I did!Before working with Matt, we were really struggling, but he has done wonders for my dog, Rocky. The patience, expertise, and personalized guidance we received made an immediate difference. The improvement in Rocky's behavior is incredible, and our daily life is so much more enjoyable and stress-free now. Matt is professional, knowledgeable, and gave me the exact tools and confidence I needed.If you are looking for a skilled and effective dog...read full review
I cannot recommend Matt enough. Before we started, my dog struggled with severe reactivity, making simple walks stressful for both of us. He didn't just give us a few tips; he completely changed our lives. We went from constant lunging and barking to calm, confident walks. The level of expertise and patience shown was incredible. If you feel like you’ve tried everything and are losing hope with your dog's behavior, please call Cochran K9!
