Matan is the ideal dog training and kennel facility. The staff are effective, skilled, and very friendly and caring. Whether you’re looking for training or boarding you cannot find a better choice, and… they’re very reasonably price.

We are so happy to have Matan and his team in our lives! We rescued Hudson (age 4) a little over two years ago, during COVID and he had a few issues, mostly stemming from a lack of confidence and socialization. He was very reactive to other dogs, and we needed help managing him. After a private consultation with Matan, we signed up for the Advance Obedience Training package (8 private + 8 group). The sessions were always very hands-on and the feedback was invaluable. Matan not only built up Hudson’s confidence, but ours by providing us the tools to be the leader he needed. Since our initial lessons with Matan, we’ve continued to bring Hudson back to work with other trainers (Rafi and Jillian) whom he loves. They are all very knowledgeable, engaged, and most importantly, they care about dogs. With MDT’s help and our consistent training, Hudson has made so much progress. His reactions to other dogs and humans have improved tremendously. We’re so grateful for MDT and would highly recommend them!
These guys are awesome! I took my dog there a few times when we were out of town, you get photos and videos daily, my dog look happy every time. I'm very pleased with them, definitely recommend it!

Amelia is wonderful and I’m so grateful for her and the entire staff! We brought our young Jack Russel (Hank) for training when he had started showing signs of resource guarding. Everyone there made me feel confident that he would be loved and well taken care of for board and train. He spent 3 weeks there and they helped so much with not only the resource guarding but also basic commands and explaining how to continue at home. Matan checked in on our weekly visits and we also got almost daily videos and photos. They trained him and us in a loving way that will have a huge impact on Hanks happiness.
