Right Way K9 Training

We had a great experience training with Matt at Right Way K9 Training. He is extremely knowledgeable, patient, and truly understands dogs and their behavior. From the very beginning, it was clear that he genuinely cares about the dogs he works with and takes the time to build trust with both the dog and the owner. My dog is aggressive, anxious, and fearful and I went in not knowing how it was all going to go down. She went into her first session muzzled and tried to get Matt a few times. By the end of our sessions, she no longer needed the muzzle with him, recognized who he was, and no longer lunged at him. I also learned a lot as an owner. I initially expected my dog to come out of training as a “dog who loves everyone,” and I now understand that wasn’t realistic. What Matt helped us do

I went into this pretty skeptical. We’d had a couple rough experiences with trainers/behavioralists in the area who jumped straight to “Let’s medicate your dog,” before trying any actual training. So my hopes were….low. But Matt changed that immediately. From our very first session to our last, he gave me the tools to help her to be a happier, more confident dog. Dolly, my Saint Bernard went from fearful and reactive to being able to calmly be in the company with other dogs without lunging or barking. Which felt impossible before. I’m also a crazy animal lover and was very happy with his tactics. I can walk her now without fearing being launched into traffic. Not exaggerating on this either. It’s happened. She now walks calmly beside me and everyone is happier and safer. Rightwayk9train

We cannot say enough wonderful things about our experience with Matt! From the moment we met him, it was clear we were in the hands of someone not only incredibly knowledgeable, but also genuinely passionate about helping both dogs and their humans. Matt worked with us and our dog Ridley, and the transformation has been amazing. He was endlessly patient, friendly, and encouraging — the kind of trainer who makes you feel completely comfortable asking any question, big or small. It honestly felt like working with a good friend who truly cared about our success. One of the things we appreciated most was the real-world application he brought into our training. Matt didn’t just teach us in a controlled environment — he took us out into public spaces, dog-friendly stores, and everyday situatio

We had a great experience working with Matt! I reached out to Matt to help with training our dog, Votto, to be a therapy dog for my office. Matt did a great job getting Votto prepared not only for the office but also helped with some nuisance behaviors we were accidentally reinforcing at home and on walks. As an added bonus, Votto loved his training visits and we could tell Matt genuinely loves dogs and is passionate about his work!

We first approached Matt for help with our puppy, Marceline. She had more than a few behavioral issues - some aggression with our older dog, unable to walk on a leash (she would bite at her leash and scream!), and resource guarding. Within just the first few sessions of training we started seeing results! Now she is the BEST walker and her relationship with our other dog is great! Little did we know that our older dog was feeding into her behaviors! Matt did a great job helping us target little things with our Mabel that we didn't know were issues! We thought we were experienced dog owners who had a good handle on training, but he helped us develop the proper skills to help our pups live their lives anxiety free! Mabel can even enjoy a nice off leash walk at the park now! AMAZING! We als
