K9 Learning Academy, LLC

We adopted a dog from a shelter in February 2025 and quickly realized he was demonstrating anxiety and fear. We originally hired a trainer to help us acclimate our pet, but discovered he was not the “trainer” he proclaimed to be. We did try a few of his methods, but we still did not feel our dog was adjusting. After some extensive research, we found Matt at K9 Learning Academy LLC. We reached out to him and made an appointment to meet him, and for him to meet our dog. After some discussion we all felt he would benefit from the Board and Train so Matt could have one on one with him. It was a difficult decision to make as our “fur baby” would be away from us for several weeks, but we wanted to help him any way we could. When he finally came home, it took a few days for him to adjust to our routine again, but he adjusted well. Matt made us aware his anxiety was from fear. Matt is very knowledgeable of behavior as well as nutrition and has an extensive “tool box” of staff as well as connections with other professionals he has reached out to. If he is not quite sure of a behavior, diet or medication he reaches out for advice. We had questions about several issues, and he always gets back to us with answers. We have also made some changes to his diet and it seems to be helping. Matt continues to train at home with us once a week and will continue to do so until our dog has overcome his fears. We highly recommend Matt and his staff at K9 Learning Academy. We can’t thank the entire staff enough for assisting in his training as well as the compassion they provided our dog while there!

Our Diesel was almost 1 year old when he went to be trained with Matt. He is 165 lbs. We had not been able to walk him in over a month! He pulled so much when my husband was walking him, my husband was having terrible back pain. Diesel was with Matt for 3 weeks. Diesel is now able to be walked with no issues! Everyone is amazed at how much calmer and obedient he is now! Matt is wonderful! We are very satisfied with the training Diesel recieved! Worth every dollar!

I have a pit bull puppy that was wild as can be. Sent her to the academy for the board and train program and she came back a completely different dog. Im absolutely amazed at how well she behaves now. Thank you Matt and the rest of your crew for helping with my molly!!

Matt and Stu were both fantastic. They provided all the necessary knowledge. Not only did they help train the dog, the provided me with all the necessary skills and knowledge to work on training her myself. They always answered my questions every week, and gave me great insights. My puppy is well on the way to being the dog I had hoped for, and I believe they greatly contributed to that. Highly recommend

Matt, the owner of K9 Learning Academy and Stewart the trainer was awesome in helping us with Toby our 7 year old Yorkie who we adopted and who had previously been mistreated and a mill dog. Not only was Stewart able to work with Toby and correct various behavior issues which included both walking , interacting and control behavior both around people and other dogs but he explained why Toby does what he does, and how each dog responds differently. I highly recommend K9 Learning a very good investment!
