Testimonials
Matt is an amazing dog trainer! He helped me to train my 9-year-old Spanish Waterdog, Shadow. Before working with Matt, I couldn’t walk her down the street without her overreacting to other dogs. It was so stressful for both of us. Now she is a pleasure to walk! We are living proof that owners and pets can learn at any age! I highly recommend Matt for any dogs. Thanks Matt!

Matt rocks! He’s professional, fun and Gemma loved learning from him. He was so patient with her. He’s someone you feel like you’ve always known, and we loved that he came right to our home to see Gemma in her everyday life and help her get acclimated to her new environment. His training is done the right (and best) way! Thanks, Matt!
– Gemma’s Owner
One of the best decisions we made regarding our fur baby was calling Matt of Jersey Shore Dogs. We are wedding photographers and while shooting a wedding one day, we noticed how incredibly well-behaved our bride’s dog was. She said Matt had a big part in that and if we were ever to get a dog to call him right away. About 8 months later, we adopted our Gemma and contacted Matt. From the first phone call we knew he was well-educated, had a passion for dogs and would be a great fit for Gem. Sure enough, he was FANTASTIC! Gemma took to him right away and he was so patient with her as she learned obedience, tricks, how to walk nicely on her leash and more. She also loves Matt’s wife’s product called SnuffleMutt (keeps her brain and body busy while searching the special matt for treats). We highly recommend Matt and Gemma says FIVE stars isn’t enough. 🙂

About the Trainer
Jersey Shore Dogs offers professional in-home dog training and puppy training services in New Jersey, specializing in basic obedience, problem behavior solving and modification, and group training classes like puppy kindergarten. Their force-free training methods are grounded in animal behavior learning theory and scientifically proven to be more effective with fewer negative consequences than force-based techniques. They help owners of dogs of any age resolve frustrating behaviors such as reactivity, leash pulling, separation anxiety, and fearfulness, creating a less stressful environment for both pets and families. Matt, the primary trainer, is praised for his patience, approachability, and ability to tailor training to each dog’s needs in their home environment.
They also promote SnuffleMutt, a product by Matt’s wife, designed to mentally stimulate dogs through treat-seeking play. Clients report significant improvements in behavior, including calm walks, reduced barking, and better responses to triggers like doorbells or other dogs. Training is delivered with positive reinforcement, and Matt is available for ongoing email support.
The business serves dog owners across New Jersey with a focus on home-based sessions to address behaviors in the dog’s natural environment.
