Testimonials

"Matt provides dog training that fits your LIFESTYLE. His knowledge and understanding of you and your dog's behavior is mind boggling. He has a kind soul and ability to communicate simple and effective training techniques. Our lessons are tailored to fit the family's and our dog's needs. He keeps it fun by exposing you to a variety of venues from your own backyard to Cabela's. Today, he incorporated fetching sticks in the river into an entire group lesson. It was fun and valuable to everyone involved! Thanks to Matt, we are able to enjoy all aspects of our life — vacations, celebrations, and dinners out on the patios of restaurants — all with our four-legged family member by our side."

"My husband and I have used Matt as our dog trainer for over two decades. We have always had rescues in a multi-dog household. Some of these dogs have been tough because of issues and stubborn personalities. Matt not only helped integrate our dogs, but helped make them into amazing family members. He is awesome at training the owners how to work with and train their dogs. His help and guidance has been invaluable over the years. We highly recommend him for any type of training, but especially for problem dogs."

"We are dog people and for over 20 years we have been bringing dogs to Matt Fischer for training. Difficult dogs, easy dogs, breeds from Australian Cattle Dogs to Chow Chows, a Maremma, and a long line of loveable mutts — Matt trained them all. He got to know them and would adjust his methods to the dog and their temperament. Shortly, their obedience would be such that we could trust the dogs off leash in all kinds of situations. Most of all, Matt trained us to be good dog owners."

"We have been working with Matt for over 13 years. We have recommended him to neighbors, friends, and colleagues. Everyone has been thrilled with his services. Matt has a gift for dealing with dogs and their owners. As a result of Matt's expertise, we have two well-behaved dogs that we can bring to our children's games and to any public venues. He is 'simply the best.'"
