Tame Dog Training & Boarding

Matt and his team did a wonderful job with our dog, Graham Cracker. Graham struggled to not pull on walks and demonstrated some aggression against kids as well as generalized anxiety. We did the 17 day training, and it was so worth it! Matt did an excellent job making sure we had all the tools and knowledge we needed once we got home. Graham is now perfect on walks and seems much calmer in general.

Tame Dog Training is the best! Matt and his team were so helpful and insightful from start to finish. We brought our 7 month old Bernese Mountain Dog, Monty, to Tame because we simply could not gain control of him. He thought he ran the home and was constantly unruly in our apartment - biting, jumping, grabbing clothes and towels, etc. He bit my fiancé a couple of times, and developed separation anxiety to the point where we could not leave our apartment without him being loud and distressed in his kennel. We worked with a trainer for many months of his puppy stage (from 4 months to 7 months of age), and even though this individual had many years of experience, it was to no avail. When we decided to call Matt after a friend recommended Tame, he helped walk us through the best program for Monty, and we sent him to Tame for 2.5 weeks for the Standard program. While it may seem like a pretty penny to pay for an animal's training, Matt and his team make it worth every dollar. Matt makes the whole experience very personal, and will answer any questions you may have with very in-depth responses. Not only did he walk us through everything prior to drop-off, but he also sat down with us for extended periods of time during the two in-person sessions and made it a point to clarify every detail for us. Perhaps the best part is that everything Matt taught us was so simple yet effective! All three of us (myself, my fiancé, and Monty) are so much happier with our daily lives since we got our pup back 3 weeks ago. It is no longer a daily battle, and we can simply enjoy the relationship with our dog. Monty is still his fun-loving and goofy self, but responds to order and is much more responsive to both of us. Our multiple daily walks are relaxing and enjoyable now that Monty is so responsive and easily walks with a loose leash. He can be in his kennel without any fuss and responds to slight corrections so quickly and successfully. Who would've guessed that a rolled up 100% cotton "bonker" towel could be so effective 😂....kudos to Matt. We will most definitely be taking advantage of Tame's exclusive boarding program many times throughout the year. We completely trust them with our dog, and could not ask for a better team of trainers to have as a resource. Thank you Matt and the rest of the Tame Team!! - Tristan and Emily

We brought our Golden Retriever puppy to Tame Dog Training for 3 weeks. She was really bad on a leash and wasn't consistently following commands. When we got her back from Tame, she was like a new pup! We were really impressed with the results, as well as the time Matt spent with us to make sure we understood the process and his team's methodology. I would absolutely recommend Tame, as I already have to multiple friends!

Matt and Team did a tremendous job with our 6 month old English Cream Golden Retriever, Brinkley. Prior to enrolling her in Tame we were fed up with the jumping, bitting, bad behavior on walks, slight food aggression, ... to the point I was on the fence about keeping her. Our busy lives simply didn't allow us to dedicate the time needed to properly train her ourselves. After two and a half weeks boarding at Tame, which was also a nice reset for us, we have a well trained dog that can easily fit into our busy household. We would highly recommend Tame and plan on using the boarding program going forward to reinforce the foundation they setup.
