Hill Country Training is amazing! Hank went from wild to well-behaved thanks to Matt’s patient, personalized approach. He truly cares, and the results speak for themselves. Highly recommend for any dog owner looking for real change! 🐾💯

After my dog at 42 pairs of shoes, 26 pillows, ate through two mattresses, her own bed, broke out of her kennel, and tried to dig up my septic tank, wouldn't stay off the bed or couch...I FINALLY sent her to boarding school with Matt.

After my dog at 42 pairs of shoes, 26 pillows, ate through two mattresses, her own bed, broke out of her kennel, and tried to dig up my septic tank, wouldn't stay off the bed or couch...I FINALLY sent her to boarding school with Matt. Matt spent 4 weeks training her and she came back a completely different dog. She is so well behaved and no longer exhibits any destructive behaviors. We can finally enjoy her and our household is better for it. We have given her a new birthday - the day she came home from training with Matt - it was a true rebirth, and worth every penny. Thank you, Matt!
Wow! There are not enough words to describe the awesomeness that Matt is. It’s so apparent when you pick up your dog from training that he truly loves what he does. Getting your dog trained as a puppy is a must and he’s the only one that I would recommend. Thank you!

Matt is so great! Our puppy chicken always looked so happy in all the update videos and pictures Matt would send us. He is much calmer and we’ve seen such a positive change in his behavior. We loved that the training was done in Matt’s home and around his family as Chicken is going to be our family pup! It was so nice that Matt would take him out on walks and in stores for training to help socialize him and get him used to listening in more distracted environments. Would definitely recommend

Matt has been awesome throughout the whole process. We dropped off Oakley for the board and train program and after 3 short weeks we have seen great improvement of all of his obedience. Oakley was a nervous dog and would choose to listen but after training he is attentive and calm which is very important to us. I would 100 percent recommend the great work that Matt does and if we get another dog at any point I already know who I am going to.
