Read What Our Clients Are Saying About Us

Maggie our 10 month labradoodle was developing traits that we were uncomfortable with. Her enthusiastic greeting of us and visitors were becoming more aggressive, we had to take her outside if anyone visited. She wouldn’t obey any commands other than sit for her dinner. Ate everything in sight and we were up to 12 holes in the back lawn. We met Matt and Danielle and Maggie went for a 2 night stay, what a difference. She now has a training program (written training plan) that is working so well. Matt and Danielle kept us informed with visual updates and texts. They brought her home and explained how to continue on with her training. We needed training too. They have provided good back up with any queries. We now have a delightful puppy that we can relax with and enjoy her company. I can’t recommend them enough. Wonderful people who have a great affinity with dogs. Thank you

Matt the magician plus he’s amazing accomplice. Truly, our Border Collie was next level biting and shredding our arms, legs, and clothes. Matt fixed that in one session. Now, Matt has cured Toby’s jumping out at cars, people, and dogs.

Before my puppy and I started working with Kirt, I was honestly at my wits’ end. Walks were stressful, visitors were chaos, and I felt like I was constantly correcting bad behaviour without seeing any change. I loved my pup dearly, but I didn’t know how to help him settle and just be. After working with Kirt, I can confidently say everything feels different now. My puppy is calmer, more focused, and actually listens. Walks are enjoyable, visitors can come over without a scene, and I finally feel like we understand each other. Kirt not only helped my dog but also helped me learn how to support him better. He explained everything clearly, sent videos, and gave me easy steps to keep building on the training at home. The care and patience he shows with dogs (and their humans) is amazing. I can’t thank Kirt enough for the change he’s made in our lives. If you’re struggling and want real, lasting progress with your dog, I couldn’t recommend him more.

We brought our 1.5-year-old poodle, Bodhi, to Kirt after struggling with reactivity and general overexcitement. He’s a smart boy but had a habit of tuning us out whenever something more interesting was happening. We’d started to feel a bit stuck and unsure how to help him focus. Kirt completely changed that. From the first session, he took the time to understand Bodhi’s personality and worked with us to build calm, consistent routines. We saw an immediate improvement Bodhi started responding better almost straight away and the progress has only continued with each week. Now he walks beautifully on lead, settles quickly at home, and listens even around distractions. What stood out most was how Kirt empowered us as owners. He didn’t just train Bodhi, he taught us how to communicate better and build a stronger bond with him. The progress has been amazing, and we actually enjoy training together now. We couldn’t be happier with the results and would absolutely recommend Kirt to anyone who wants a more balanced, confident dog.

Before we found Matt, we were completely rundown. Life with our boys had become exhausting...constant reactivity, fights, and stress that made even the smallest things feel overwhelming. We’d tried other trainers and nothing seemed to work. We were doing our best, but we were burnt out and honestly felt like we were failing them. Matt stepped in when we needed help the most. He took the boys in for a few weeks, gave them structure, confidence, and calm.... and then gave us the tools to carry it forward. When they came home, they were still our little weirdos, but more grounded, more responsive, and easier to live with. The biggest change, though, was for us.We finally felt like we could breathe again. We had a plan, the support, and the reassurance that we didn't fail them. We’ll never be able to thank Matt enough for what he’s done for our sausage family. Chico 🐀 and Jefe 🐕 are changed dogs and we will never forget the care and love they received from Matt. Thankyou again and this definitely isn't last you'll be seeing the rats.
