Outstanding dog trainer. Expensive but WORTH IT!The method of training is very well explained and how it replicated the same way canines learn as an animal (pack mentality with an alpha who communicates well). Collar, and e collar and included and instruction is provided on how to use effectively to communicate with the dog.You’ll see a difference in the very first lesson - my dog was following Matt around like a soldier at attention. New skills are taught each lesson and the more you practice at home and faster you master them. The training is more on how to teach you as an owner to communicate with your dog so you can train them with the repetition needed to make it a behavior change.I would recommend this trainer to anyone looking to improve their dogs listening, leash walking, staying, and the other basic dog commands.

Matt and Lisa are super knowledgeable! They helped us learn how to effectively communicate with our dog. Prior to working with Follow The Leader our dog was on track to end up in a bull terrier rescue. We were feeling hopeless after working with two other trainers previously. Literally, after one lesson we noticed immediate results. Now, we're 7 months of off leash 100% of the time, and we don't worry about our dog reacting and biting us or anyone else. The training is invaluable. If you have a reactivate dog, do yourself and your dog a favor, don't go anywhere else!

Working with Lisa has opened so many doors and given us so many tools to help our dog, Jax, be the most confident and relaxed that he can be. By learning how to communicate clearly, teach Jax how to calm, and provide a more structured home environment, he has grown into a much more enjoyable dog to have in our home! He used to be very impulsive due to high prey drive, and he would bolt out of the yard or any open door, and ripped holes in our window screens trying to get outside to chase animals. Now, he has learned to control his impulsiveness to the point where we can even have pet guinea pigs and a rabbit out in the same room as him, and he will respect their space. He is able to run free on our land and enjoy spending days outside with us because he doesn't bolt anymore, and has developed a great recall, even when there are deer tempting him to chase. He also had a lot of anxiety due to being a stray and having been attacked by dogs 3 different times, so he would react very aggressively towards other dogs on walks. Using the tools and strategies Lisa gave us, he is learning that we will protect him, and he is safe to relax more on walks instead of being on alert and guarded the whole time. Training and continuing our education will be a lifelong journey, but we have all benefitted greatly from Lisa's knowledge, training and patience, and have a better relationship with Jax because of it.

Went in with a reactive, fearful dog. Came out with a happy, confident dog and a wide array of new knowledge and skills to handle a multitude of situations with any dog. It was worth the hour drive to and from training every time.

This is the best decision and investment i have ever made. We got the whole package seven sessions and it has changed me and my dogs life. I have tried so many trainers whether in person or online nothing was working. Matt knows dogs and their language. if i could give him 20 stars i would. Thank you, Matt!
