It can change your life from chaotic to wonderful when it comes to living with your dog. A professionally trained dog listens all the time, every time in spite of distractions, and responds to you without fail. 

 Basic On-Leash Dog Training, Uncle Matty Style   

with love, praise and affection 

is not a one-size-fits-all program.

It is customized for you and your dog with Problem Solving

Basic commands are necessary functions for your dog's safety and the well-being of people and other animals. Commands are important at all times for a variety of reasons. If your dog is well trained, you have the control and that is important if you are a responsible dog owner. A well trained dog is also able to communicate and function in your home and around others. Training is about function, control and prevention. 

Consider the following: A well-trained dog always responds to a command -- not just some of the time or part of the time. Why is this important? 

  • A dog cannot SIT and jump on a person at the same time.

  • A dog cannot SIT and STAY and run out the door into traffic at the same time.

  • A dog that obeys the HEEL command will not pull you down the street.

  • A dog that responds to DOWN and STAY can enjoy being in the room with you without interfering with your mealtime or guests.

  • A dog that COMES WHEN CALLED is not going to have to be chased.

  • A well-trained dog is not a destructive dog. Destruction is expensive!

Frustrated because of your dog's behavior?     Never hit or yell at your dog. Here's why.

Verbal and physical abuse can never be a part of the relationship between you and your dog. Abuse destroys love and trust in dogs as well as people. How is a dog going to learn if he is afraid of your hands, your feet or your voice? Why should a dog "Come" to you if he is frightened? Yes, yelling will scare him. Your dog's hearing is five-times better than yours. If you are yelling at him and he cowers, it's not guilt. He is afraid of the sound.
