What My Clients Have to Say

Edie, Lurcher Cross
“We can’t thank Matt enough for his incredible work with our rescue Lurcher puppy, Edie. From the very beginning, he showed such compassion and understanding towards a very nervous little dog, guiding her with patience and kindness every step of the way.
Matt helped Edie gain confidence around people, taught her the essential basic commands, and ultimately gave her the gift of safe off-lead freedom — something we never thought possible so soon. His knowledge and genuine approach made the entire process feel calm, clear, and rewarding for both of us.
Edie was completely at ease working alongside him thanks to his friendly and reassuring manner. The in-person sessions, combined with the excellent resources provided for home practice, made training feel both structured and supportive. His online guidance and presence have also been a great source of encouragement.
We’re so grateful to Matt’s Mutts for helping Edie find her confidence and joy. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, caring, and professional trainer.”

Belle, Cavapoo
“Matt came recommended to me by a friend and we have had 5 one to one sessions.
Matt is extremely knowledgable and will teach you all the basic tools you need, I felt as though I learned more than Belle and we practice a little every day which makes the learning fun.
I now take Belle for a walk and not the other way around, her lead walking is much improved and we have even managed to visit some shops which would have been unimaginable a few months ago, I was so proud of her.
We have worked on getting her to remain calm and not seek my constant attention by barking and I have seen significant improvements. I would highly recommend Matt we thoroughly enjoyed our sessions”

Buddy, Rottweiler x Staffy
“I rescued Buddy 3 months ago now and I knew once I started this journey the training was as much for me if not more than him. He is a 3 year old Staffy Rottweiler X who had been escaping from his previous owners garden regularly.
He was not getting the exercise he needed and had picked up a lot of bad habits along the way. He is the most loving gentle soul inside a 37kg body and I knew I owed it to him to give him the structure and discipline all dogs need to thrive and be truly happy.
When I first got Buddy he used to walk me, he didn’t listen and was afraid of everything resulting in extremely stressful walks for both him and me. He is reactive to other dogs and just seemed totally overwhelmed with the world outside.
I’ve had 5 sessions with Matt now and the progress is exponential. We have good days and bad days as you’d expect but I cannot stress enough how grateful I am for the work we have done so far. I would recommend Matt to anyone, he’s passion and love for his job is palpable.
You can truly see he wants to help overcome whatever unwanted behaviour you may be experiencing. Thank you for all of your support Matt, Buddy and I look forward to continuing our work with you.”

What Other Clients Have To Say
“We’ve been working on Milo over the last few weeks now for his lead walking, reactivity, recall and generally being relaxed around other dogs! He’s doing incredible and we would never have got where we are without Matts help. Milo’s really learning the beauty of doing nothing and having a relaxed walk. We’d recommend to anyone.”
“Thank you so much Matt for all your help & guidance with Molly. On our first session you told me that we definitely could make a difference with Molly and wow today we walked around the shops with a calm dog, came across a few furry friends & no reactions from Molly. Your kind & caring approach is amazing. After seeing numerous trainers I have to say I wish we had gone to Matt at the very beginning. Can’t recommend him enough.”
“After 7–8 months of getting pretty much nowhere (and spending an eye watering amount on other trainers), I wish we’d found Matt sooner. Sullivan’s made more progress in a few weeks than he did in all those months before. Matt’s calm, confident, clear, and properly supportive. You never feel judged, just guided in the right direction.”
