About the caregiver

Hi there! My name is Matt. I am a professional dog trainer with 2.5 years of working with dogs for a living. I am proficient in handling dogs of all kinds, small or large, young or old, friendly or anxious. Through my job as a trainer, I help people every day to cultivate a happy life with their dogs. Puppy training, human or dog reactivity, noise sensitivity, separation anxiety, and leash-pulling are just a handful of topics that I help clients with daily. During my years of working with dogs, I have gained extensive training in how to recognize and deal with reactivity and signs of stress. If you have a dog that is wary of new people, you can be confident in my ability to recognize and respect that behavior. I am PetSaver Certified in First Aid and CPR and am capable of recognizing and addressing early signs of illness or medical emergencies. I believe that a safe dog is a happy dog. I strive to treat all dogs I encounter with the same regard for their well-being as I do with my own. I currently own a 5-month-old Dutch Shepherd named Amora, and I also help to take care of two huskies that live with me. I am eager to befriend your pet and help to brighten their day!
