I just wanted to give a huge thank you to Matt White! Last year I enrolled my full pit bull terrier in Matt's Focused Dog dog training school and I can truthfully say that I have seen so much improvement with my dog.  As a puppy my pit bull, Maggie, was very easy as far as potty training and being very gentle and loving with me and my family. At about 6 months Maggie developed this INTENSE liking to chewing up every single thing in my home she

Our chocolate Labrador Retriever, Timber, started training with Matt when he was five months old. He is a happy puppy, but can be very rambunctious. We all learned so much through the Focused Dog program and had a lot of fun too! We wanted to find an independent dog training program where Timber would get a lot of individual attention. We really enjoyed the small class size and the focus on positive reinforcement in Matt’s classes. Matt is a true

I recommend Focused Dog training for a positive, fun and successful experience in creating a closer bond with your dog as you both learn obedience techniques. Matt is super encouraging, supportive and always responds to questions offering advice. I believe all dogs and their humans can benefit from positive training! Johanna- Visalia

I highly recommend Matt's program for anyone interested in a positive, low stress environment for training your dog.  His method of positive reinforcement really works, and he was always available for questions and advice. Thanks, Matt, for a great experience. -Julie - Tulare

I have had a dog before that I took for training. Matt's course was far superior. He explained how to handle your dog and how dog's think. I learned so much about dog behavior. I loved too how Matt also emailed information on training. That was a big help and good reference.

  Focused Dog Testimonial I know, isn't he cute? Well, Buddy's personality was more like that of a terrorist before training. He's a much happier dog now that he focuses on me and what I want. He has his set backs but with reinforcements and consistency in home training he's much more obedient all the time.   I am so impressed with Matt's gentle but firm, patient methods that give dog and master a real connection.
