At Whits End Dog Training

AWE trained both of my German Shepherds, one year apart from each other!l. My male in 2020 and my female in 2021. They are literally the best dogs I have ever owned. We still get compliments on them every time we are out about how well behaved they are! The best part, Matt’s heart is completely in it. You can tell by the way he works with them, talks about them and how they react to HIM! Our female absolutely LOVES Matt! Matt is just as good with the puppy parents as he is with the pups. The training isn’t just for your dog… it’s for you too! His wife Candice is amazing as well! She’s got great customer service, quickly returns missed calls and is super friendly! The training doesn’t end when the dog comes home either! We opted for the board and train and have a lifetime guarantee that if anything does go wrong, Matt comes and helps correct it! I recommend At Whits End to everyone I know. A few have gone to him as well and their dogs are just as amazing as mine. If you’re looking for a good trainer, you’ve found it. I promise you won’t be disappointed. Plus, you’ll be supporting a small business!!!

At Whits End saved our dog's spot in the family; they were the last stop before re-homing. We spent substantial money with a respected breeder, but going on ten months later, we still could not enjoy our dog. We had tried local day programs but lacked time to reinforce the skills at home to achieve any change. So we opted to invest in Matt for his expertise and speed to turn around our dog's behavior. Three weeks later, we had a dog who would listen to commands, walk without pulling, and could sit at the bus stop without trying to tackle our daughter's classmates. It's not a silver bullet, you will have to follow through at home once your dog completes the program, but you're not starting from zero. The other half of the equation is how Matt educates you to become a consistent and effective trainer/owner; this is key to your success. Listen to Matt's instructions and do not ad-lib here. Boarding training is a significant investment, but I feel it is worth every dollar. You're not going to be able to produce these results this quickly on your own.

I found out about At Whits End through a neighbor of mine and I’m so glad I called! Candice was so nice and we’ve become life long friends although we haven’t even met yet and Matt is one hell of a trainer. My rescue was a slightly angry boy when I first got him and I was afraid I wouldn’t be able to control his actions. Matt is training us owners on how to control and guide our dogs and because of him, I’ve been able to gain more confidence in walking my dog and controlling him. Thanks to them, I’m not longer walking on eggshells when we’re outside or having people over!
