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 dog whisperer- you can tell he has a deep passion and love for dogs. His training methods worked wonders on Timber! Timber is now eight months old and has successfully completed Basic Manners and Beyond Basics. When Timber started the Basic Manners class, he could barely sit still and would pull on his leash constantly. He is maturing into a well-behaved, confident, and happy dog thanks to Focused Dog. We highly recommend Focused Dog to all dog owners!
