Right Way K9 Training

I’ve been working with Matt for the past 10 sessions over about two months with my 3 year old Akita, Brownie, who is very reactive. I’ve seen a huge amount of progress in a short time. Before training everyday situations were extremely difficult. If I had guests over Brownie would nonstop bark for hours. It made it hard to have anyone over. Now he does well in his crate when people come over. He may bark a few times when someone first walks in, but he is able to settle and relax afterwards which is a big improvement. Walks used to be very stressful. I couldn’t take him to any park or public areas without him lunging at people or other dogs. Now I can confidently walk past people and dogs without that reaction. He also no longer pulls on the leash the way he used to and walks calmly by my side instead of in front of me. Brownie no longer barks excessively at the window when people, bikes or animals pass by. He also has better impulse control when doors open. He won’t rush out of doors or the car door unless I give him the command “come.” Overall his anxiety around people has improved significantly. We still have some work to do, but compared to where we started the progress in just two months has been incredible. On day one he wouldn’t even walk through the front door of the training facility without being forced in. Seeing how far he has come has been very rewarding. I would recommend him to anyone looking for real improvement with their dogs behavior.

We had an amazing experience with Matt at Right Way K9. We were struggling with leash pulling, some nuisance behaviors, and overall obedience with our dog Sully. I can't thank Matt enough, the transformation from the beginning of the course to the end was incredible. His approach was professional, patient, and easy to follow. We looked forward to attending each week. Highly recommend, thanks again Matt!

It was an eye-opening experience when we got our first Australian Shepherd. We had doubts about having to go to a trainer since we've had many dogs in the past, but we never had a dog like Kaiya. She had extreme separation anxiety, was highly vocal, jumped, pulled on the leash, darted near doorways, and had very high energy. Matt at Right Way K9 Training put our minds at ease starting with the first session. His dog psychology, expertise, knowledge, and training techniques were amazing. After our first two sessions, we noticed a big difference in Kaiya. We signed up for 10 sessions. It was a valuable experience, and our journey with Kaiya has been very rewarding. We are so glad we called Matt. We can't praise him enough—he is remarkable! I don't like comparing people, but all we have to say is: Cesar Millan, look out! There is a new King in town, and his name is Matt Slaughter! Thank you! H & S Zimmer
