Want to work with us in Person?
Experience the most effective, personalized training for your dog with our one-on-one sessions. Work with Matt, a trainer with two decades of experience—starting on the front lines in the Army with his dog Xzar and spending the past 14 years training and working with incredible dogs and their humans.
When needed, Matt’s specially trained dogs can assist in your dog’s progress.
The best part? Matt travels across the UK with his dogs to work with you in person!
Why work with Matt?
Matt doesn’t just train dogs—he trains dog owners. Your dog goes home with you, not the trainer, so our goal is to ensure you know exactly what to do. You’ll learn how to stop unwanted behaviors in stressful situations, guide your dog toward better habits, and build the confidence to handle everyday life together.
That’s what we do. We specialize in working with people who want to enjoy life with their dogs in the real world. If that sounds like you, then we’re the right fit.
Our only ask? Stay committed and stay consistent with what we teach you.
-
Immediate Results: From the very first session, we’re committed to making a noticeable, positive change. We will show you what is possible if you stick with us.
-
Tailored to You: Every dog is unique, and so are their challenges. That’s why we provide one-on-one attention, customising each session to meet your specific needs and goals.
-
Ongoing Support: We're not just here for a quick fix. We stay with you every step of the way, ensuring that you and your dog are fully supported as you continue to grow together.
-
If you're ready to transform your dog's behavior and enjoy your life with your dog then we're for you.

How does it work?
We ask that you contact us and fill out our form so we can learn more about you, your dog, and your location. From there, Em—our admin ninja and biggest hype woman—will get in touch with training options that best suit your needs.
Availability & Waitlist
Matt currently has a four-month waitlist for new clients. Please keep this in mind when reaching out, as there may be a wait before you can begin one-on-one training with us.
Training & Booking Process
Once Em has shared the best options for working with us—whether that’s one-on-one 2-hour sessions, a boot camp, or our unique Train & Stay program—we’ll arrange a call with Matt. This allows him to discuss your training needs, answer any questions, and finalize your booking.
Commitment & Online Program
Matt only works with clients who commit to being consistent with their training. As part of this, we require you to join our online program as soon as you book. This ensures you can start building strong foundations right away, giving you a head start before your in-person sessions.

What do you get when working with us 1-1?
Training Tailored to you & Your dogs needs
When you book one-on-one training with us, you’re getting a completely personalized approach designed to meet both your needs and your dog’s unique challenges.
Matt will guide you step by step, adapting and adjusting his training methods in real time to ensure you and your dog get the best results. He’ll work with you in your home, on your local walks, and out in the real world—where real-life situations happen. You’ll learn exactly what to do, how to handle different scenarios, and how to continue progressing long after your sessions.
Ongoing Support
When you train with us, you’re never left to figure things out alone. We’re with you every step of the way—not just during sessions, but in between and beyond.
You’ll have direct access to Matt via WhatsApp and phone calls, so you can ask questions, get guidance when challenges arise, and receive video feedback on your training progress. If unexpected situations come up, Matt will help you navigate them with confidence.
Once you’re part of our pack, we take that seriously—it’s our job to make sure you feel supported, empowered, and set up for success with your dog.

Hey Matt & Em - well now that I'm finally feeling human again, after sleeping like a baby all weekend, I want to say a massive thank you once again. I think my tears when leaving, really say it all. Despite us both being exhausted, I would've happily stayed another 3 days! Bless poor Ricky trying to say hello to a 42 year old woman, with greetin panda eyes & snotters tripping her 😂 I think it just hit me that this was it, I was letting go of you & we would have to go do this on our own.And haven't we just! We got up on Saturday & straight into the garden to start somewhere easy. Kicked off practising engagement, then into walking to heel & free time - just so he realised this is what we do now. Then ventured out later, but only up & down our road. My husband took him out for a run yesterday before it got too hot, but my condition was that he wasn't allowed on lead at all, as I didn't want him ruining our progress with any pulling. He had to drive to somewhere, then do some engagement work before setting off. It worked well & he payed much more attention while out. I've been using a firm 'enough' for any barking that is unwarranted, in addition to ending play with toys. This morning we went our first proper walk (to nowhere). Switching between heel & free, stopping to do nothing, engagement randomly dotted throughout & when a dog jumped at us barking through a fence - was brilliant! My boy done so well & I feel great.What both of you have built, in an enviable location, is nothing short of amazing. Matt - I could honestly listen to you talk dog all day - you have an obvious passion, your experience/knowledge is clear & you have a wonderful, easy going, approachable way about you, very natural. I have learned more than I thought possible in such a short time and it's all stored in my head in a Lancashire accent 🤣🤣 Em - you are one of life's angels ❤️ I felt so welcomed & Phoebe is so cool & just lovely. You have thought of everything for a comfortable stay & the little details really make a difference.Thank you - there's no going back for us!
