Alert Canine Training Solutions

Matt was incredibly helpful with our high energy boxer. Before working with Matt our 1 year old puppy was pulling constantly on the leash, jumping up on us and guests, and we couldn’t trust him off leash anywhere. After just a couple months of working with Matt once a week, our puppy walks much better on the leash, doesn’t jump up on guests anymore, and we can fully trust him off the leash in most environments. He also gave us the tools and knowledge to continue working on the obedience training on our own. This improvement really helped our quality of life. And we recommend Matt to anyone who wants to improve obedience, listening, or any behavior with your dog.

I cannot recommend Matt and Alert Canine Training Solutions more! By the time Sadie, my two year old Bernedoodle had arrived at Matt's for the 30 day training program, she already had experienced three different trainers, including one who told me she needed to be rehomed. Upon our initial meet and greet, I could tell Matt was the right person for Sadie and as important the right person for me! Matt cares so much about ensuring you're successful with implementing his training techniques that he makes himself available for follow up lessons and texts whenever you have a question. As a first time dog owner, he was patient with me and continued to model anything I needed further help with. I also love that he provided me with a recording that I can watch any time for refreshers. My one regre

We couldn’t be more grateful for the incredible work Matt has done with our 5-year-old black lab, Sadie! After just a few sessions, we saw a noticeable transformation—not only in obedience but in our dog’s overall confidence and focus. Our lab can be strong-willed and full of energy, but Matt approached every challenge with patience and professionalism. His techniques were positive, effective, and tailored to our dog’s personality and needs. We also appreciated how clearly he communicated with us and taught us how to reinforce the training at home. If you’re looking for a trainer who truly connects with dogs and delivers results with compassion and expertise, look no further. Highly, highly recommend!

It seems redundant to say how amazing and effective Matt/Alert Canine Training Solutions is since he already has so many wonderful reviews, but it is also important to know how skilled he is at pinpointing exactly what the specific dog/situation needs. It is definitely NOT a one-size-fits-all experience. My 10-year-old mixed breed rescue came to me very under-socialized, and I'm guessing he had never been walked in his life. While perfectly polite and behaved at home, he was extremely dog reactive on leash. I live in a neighborhood where you encounter many dogs on walks and decided to reach out to Matt to fix the situation rather than spend the rest of his life avoiding dogs. Truly in the first 30 minutes Matt gave us tools to manage his walks, and to my surprise, we peacefully parallel wa

So glad we chose to bring our new rescue pup to Matt. He gave us the tools to make our 7 month old a great dog. Matt is straight forward and extremely knowledgeable. We are lifelong dog owners who thought we knew everything, boy were we wrong. We learned so much. Matt responded quickly to our first inquiry as well as any subsequent questions we had. By far the best decision we have made with our pup. Thank you so much Matt!!!
