The Matson Pack Dog Training is a family-owned dog training business founded by Zechariah Matson. Zechariah started the business after experiencing frustration with his own dog’s behavior and feeling hopeless with local trainers, which ignited his passion to learn extensively about dog behavior and psychology from leading experts.

The business’s approach focuses on strengthening the bond between humans and canines. They emphasize understanding each dog’s unique nature, building mutual trust through play, establishing authority with clear communication, and educating owners on dog neurobiology to achieve lasting results. They are committed to helping struggling dog owners find the support they need.

The Matson Pack offers private lessons, board and train programs, and various additional services. All programs are conducted one-on-one between the owner/dog and the trainer, with sessions typically spaced one week apart to allow for practice. These sessions can be adjusted based on the student’s progress and can take place at the client’s home or a public venue.

They provide a lifetime warranty on training, a 100% satisfaction guarantee, lifetime access to refresher classes, and include dog training equipment in all programs.
