In December of 2019, I adopted an abandoned puppy. Not knowing anything about this dog's breed we…read morenoticed she was timid, had anxiety and was unaware of how to act on a leash. When people would come to my house she would bark constantly and would not settle. I research many dog trainers in the St. Louis area. I liked the fact that Matty B's Dog Training had a personal approach to dog training and years of experience. After the very first lesson my dog was responsive and attentive to what we were teaching her. Matty B took time to study how my dog responded to the training and gave us tools to help her cope with her anxiety. It has been amazing the difference! When people come over now she knows she goes to her bed and is comforted knowing that she is safe there. When we go on walks she stays by my side. My dog is happier and we are enjoying our sweet unique dog. I highly recommend Matty B's Dog Training!!

It would be close to impossible to control him if there was another dog around. I would avoid taking him on walks in fear of seeing another dog. I knew this wasn't the life I wanted for my dog so I finally decided to get help. I chose the 15 day bootcamp- I was terrified to send my dog away for that long but I am so happy I did. I was regularly updated and sent pictures which was great. You can tell Matt really cares about the dogs he works with. When we picked our boy up, Matt gave us a lesson about everything he had learned the last 2 weeks. We were amazed! Walks are now enjoyable- he is a completely different dog on leash. We now have the confidence of taking our dog in public. We just finished our 2 week followup where Matt came to our house to check on our progress. I highly recommend Matty B's Dog Training, and plan to utilize his services again in the future.

I enrolled him in the teenager course but they said no because he was fearful and offered me private lessons for 900.00 Which he had already completed so they were useless for me!

I paid and we made arrangements to attend them all. I even changed a flight and made special nanny arrangements to not miss them. The day of the first class, a couple hours before, they called to tell me we were the only one registered and it would be canceled. I had the option to use it as two private sessions (we already have a private trainer) or for another month class, which doesn't work for me. This is pretty annoying since we scheduled our day (and month) around this class. And I was never warned this could happen.

I adopted a second dog last fall, and it quickly became apparent that she didn't have the best manners when encountering other dogs while out walking, and would instead become unruly and animated. Cait is a phenomenal trainer and has completely changed the quality of my dog walks immensely. She uses positive reinforcement and really has a way with animals. After just one private lesson, Dahlia is so much more manageable on walks around other dogs! I would definitely recommend for your dogs!

I suddenly had a dog aggression problem between two of my dogs. I called other trainers in the…read morearea and I was told there was nothing I could do and that I would need to rehome one of them. I had a behaviorist come in who recommended Pawsitive Principles. They have been working with my dogs and we have made tremendous progress. Thanks to them both of my dogs are doing so much better. They only use positive reinforcement so the dogs even enjoy the skills that they are learning. I have been so impressed with this company that I now have another dog working with them to become a therapy dog. I would recommend Ashley and Suzanne to anyone who has dogs with behavioral issues or who just wants basic skills, therapy dog or service dog training. They are so easy to work with on training times and even payment options.

Her special insight honed in on a special treat making the older dog jealous. We removed that problem and she guided us having them interact unrestrained. It went super well and within a day they were sharing the back yard for #2 simultaneously. She explained dog behavior and helped us to not overreact to appropriate dog manners. We're going to have her come back and help us with training of the older dog and the new puppy moving forward. We plan to do it right this time. Highly recommend.

I've been telling everyone I know with new puppies about STL Obedience Training and wish they offered more classes for me and my fur babies!

I got him and took him home and within an hour realized that he had third-degree Burns and had to take him to an emergency vet then was informed by the emergency vet and my regular vet that he would never be able to go to a groomer again after the emotion and pain he suffered.
