Board/Train with a MWD pro

Pet care experience

I work as a Military Working Dog trainer out of Hanscom AFB. I have nine years of experience handling, training, and caring for dogs. Earlier this year, my 13-year-old retired Military Working Dog, Mina, passed away due to old age. She was a big part of my family's lives and it is too early trying to replace her. That's why we are opening our home to your fur babies and hoping I can share my passion for training with them.

Matt was great, this was my first time using Rover so I was a little nervous despite having boarded my dog at her daycare facility. We did a meet & greet a couple days prior, they asked a bunch of questions regarding Myla’s daily routine & habits. Felt completely at ease when I dropped her off for the weekend. Will definitely reach out to Matt again if I need to board again

Information Matthew R. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog has any medical concerns I should be aware of and their temperament around children or other animals. If they have any behavioral issues, you would like me to look at them to set them up with a training plan.

A typical day

I love doing engagement drills, basic obedience, and finding what drives your dogs. When I'm not playing with them outside my two boys (7&10) will love up on them while they are relaxing.
