With 13 years' dog training experience and 8 years as a qualified service dog handler, Matt from Your Dog Coach has the skills and passion required to manage the behavioural issues other trainers have failed to fix.

Matt has trained dogs of all different shapes and sizes, from Chihuahuas to Great Danes, and possesses the ability to fix problems other trainers have failed to rectify.

In his professional life, Matt has brought up several puppies to become successful service dogs. He also has a passion for residential dog training, and for helping your furry family member to become well mannered, calm, obedient and non-aggressive, with the ability to listen on command.

He believes that “one size (or method) doesn’t fix all”, and has a range of tools, tips, and tricks at his disposal to solve the most challenging pooch problem.

As the Operations and Accounts Manager at Your Dog Coach, Danielle is the first port of call for all enquiries and support. For the past three years, she has had the privilege of assisting senior Dog Trainers, deepening her hands-on experience in dog training and behaviour. Her role blends a genuine passion for working with both people and dogs—helping clients resolve challenges, large and small, and ensuring their journey with Your Dog Coach is smooth and rewarding.

Danielle thrives on problem solving and finds fulfilment in helping people build confidence and lasting bonds with their dogs.
