We had a great experience with Matan Dog Training, enrolled our new 2-year old shelter dog for the 3 week program, as Evie had many behavioral problems coming from the shelter. When Evie completed the program she was well behaved, and could follow commands, what a difference, Evie is now a joy to be around. We are thankful for the work, care, and kindness that Matan dog training showed our new girl, Evie.

Matan and his team are irresponsible, disrespectful, unprofessional, and dangerous. I paid five thousand dollars to board and train my two year old German shepherd for four weeks. He had already received in depth marker training that started at seven weeks old, and was well versed in basic obedience. Our discussion prior to trusting my dog with Matan, was to work specifically on his reactions to other people entering my home and him jumping on them, as well as off leash and e-collar training. I was told I would get bi-weekly check ins with pictures and updates about what my dog was working on and how he was progressing. By the third week, I had received a total of two check ins instead of the six that should have occurred by then, and the only things reported in the updates were in regard to basic obedience and commands my dog already understood when I dropped him off. Furthermore, the office manager was walking my dog an a flat collar, after specific instruction had been given to only walk him with a prong collar because he pulls while on a leash. When a dog that pulls is walked on a flat collar, it compresses their airway. This caused him to cough and they were concerned he developed kennel cough. They took him to their vet, who said he did not have Kennel cough, however the next day they called me back and made me pick him up. I then took him to my vet, where he was evaluated and found to have lost ten pounds in the three weeks he was boarded with Matan. He also tried to bite my vet, who knows him well, and he has never shown aggression like this in the past anyone. My vet also confirmed he did not have kennel cough. In discussions with Matan after this, he assured me he would make things right, and then avoided my calls, refused to message me, and would not issue a refund as he had discussed. Thankfully my dog has made a complete recovery, and has returned to his normal weight and gentle demeanor.
