Testimonials
Matt was incredibly helpful with our high energy boxer. Before working with Matt our 1 year old puppy was pulling constantly on the leash, jumping up on us and guests, and we couldn’t trust him off leash anywhere.
After just a couple months of working with Matt once a week, our puppy walks much better on the leash, doesn’t jump up on guests anymore, and we can fully trust him off the leash in most environments.
He also gave us the tools and knowledge to continue working on the obedience training on our own.
This improvement really helped our quality of life. And we recommend Matt to anyone who wants to improve obedience, listening, or any behavior with your dog.

We couldn’t be more grateful for the incredible work Matt has done with our 5-year-old black lab, Sadie! After just a few sessions, we saw a noticeable transformation–not only in obedience but in our dog’s overall confidence and focus.
Our lab can be strong-willed and full of energy, but Matt approached every challenge with patience and professionalism. His techniques were positive, effective, and tailored to our dog’s personality and needs.
We also appreciated how clearly he communicated with us and taught us how to reinforce the training at home.
If you’re looking for a trainer who truly connects with dogs and delivers results with compassion and expertise, look no further. Highly, highly recommend!

I cannot recommend Matt and Alert Canine Training Solutions more! By the time Sadie, my two year old Bernedoodle had arrived at Matt’s for the 30 day training program, she already had experienced three different trainers, including one who told me she needed to be rehomed. Upon our initial meet and greet, I could tell Matt was the right person for Sadie and as important the right person for me! Matt cares so much about ensuring you’re successful with implementing his training techniques that he makes himself available for follow up lessons and texts whenever you have a question.
