Pet care experience
I'm a full time dog trainer, handler, and walker and I take you pet care seriously, whether you want to see your pup improve, or maintain all the good behaviors you have taught them. I offer training/behavior modification as well as walks and check ins. Ask me about any of your dog needs! I specialize in dog behavior/relationships and recognize that in order to have a confident, well trained dog that communication with you, the owner, is key. Id love to talk with you about the goals you have for your dog so we can work together to provide a fulfilling life for your dog. I've had so many incredible relationships with both my pets and all of the animals I've worked with over the years. I'm more than comfortable with any kind of dog, and look forward to meeting every new personality, no matter how wild! I'd love to work with your dog, please use code MATTH31460 for a first time discount. We can discuss any options you need or want for your sweet pup. I'd be more than happy to make custom plans to fit your needs.
Reviews
More than just a dog walker! We just started using Matt to walk our two 4 yr old labradoodles. They are mostly well behaved and I work hard on their training but I started having trouble with one becoming a picky eater. A quick conversation and great tip from Matt and breakfast of plain kibble is all eaten up the next morning. He reinforces the training I am doing and also corrects some lingering trouble spot while doing his walks.
Matt does a great job. My dog loves him. He waits anxiously for Matt to come and walk him. And he gets such a great walk with Matt because he’s tired and ready for a nap when he gets home. Matt knows what he is doing; as you can tell he understands dog behavior and how to handle dogs. And he does such a caring manner with.
Matt was extremely friendly and professional. He clearly knows what he is doing and loves dogs. I fully trust him and love that he communicated with me all along the way. Definitely going to hit him up in the future.
Matt has been very reliable, communicative, and takes great care in taking care of our Frenchie, Freddie! Thanks Matt

Safety, trust & environment
I strive to care for your dog the way you care for your dog. You'll recieve cute pictures as well as comprehensive updates about your dog. I will help reinforce any commands (sit, stay, leave it...) that you use and can help guide training for you and your pup Caring for dogs is a passion of mine. I take the time to make sure they're comfortable and happy because it make me feel great when I see a happy tail wag. Putting in the extra effort for whatever the dog needs to feel at home and relaxed because it's what they deserve for being such incredible companions.
Information matt h. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know, not only, any medical or special needs your dog may have, but also what motivates them, whether it be a certain toy or treat. I want to help create a filling routine for your dog that includes training exercises.
A typical day
My dog and I are an active pair. We love going to the beach (Rosie's dog beach) to throw her ball, going on hikes together, and she loves to run alongside a bike or skateboard. I'd love to help exercise your dog in whatever ways they love and I'm excited for whatever that might entail.
