This course is based on the Help with Hounds puppy class, which I run for hundreds of clients each year

However, you will benefit from lots of extra content and the ability to re-visit everything you learn, at your pace

Introduction to your instructor

Hi, I’m Matt

I am an accredited IMDT member and trainer (Institute of Modern Dog Trainers) and studied with the International School of Canine Psychology & Behaviour (ISCP), achieving a level 5 diploma in canine behaviour (with distinction) in May 2020. I am also an approved KAD (Kids around Dogs) trainer, helping children overcome their fears and teaching them how to interact with dogs. I am proud to display the UK Dog Behaviour & Training Charter symbol.​

My family has always had dogs, I have volunteered with the RSPCA as a dog walker, care for my own big and fluffy Labradoodle and have helped clients on a 1:1 basis and various weekly classes since June 2020

I only use modern, force-free and effective techniques.

Me and the doodle.................... :)
