Tame Dog Training

Matt Ganim and the Tame Dog Training staff exceeded all of my expectations! I sent my 1 year old German Shepherd Mix dog through the Standard Off-Leash Program(17 days). Before I sent my dog to training, he was reactive towards cars, people, and other dogs. Matt and his staff sat down with me before the training and listened to my concerns and needs for the training. Their staff keeps you informed along the way with pictures and updates on the progress of your dog while in the program. At the end of the 17 days, my dog was completely transformed for the better. Better around dogs, cars, and people. Matt not only trains your dog but also trains the owner how to better care and train their dogs as well. I have since used Tame Dog Training for boarding and experienced the same professional and top-notch training as the program. I have recommended their services to friends and family and will definitely use them again for future training and boarding needs.

My boyfriend and I brought our 3 month old German Shepherd puppy to Matt at the right time. He was sweet and has a playful personality, but he was getting out of hand all ready at such a young age. A lot of training programs only focus on dogs a lot older and so we were happy that we actually saw that Tame offered a 2 week boarding course for those that were as young as 3 months old. This program aimed at building some important foundations that was much needed. Even though our pup knew all of the basic commands, he had some MAJOR puppy issues like biting. I was able to speak with Matt over the phone before we dropped off our little velociraptor and he immediately reassured me that we were not experiencing anything new. When the day came to drop the puppy off, we knew it was a great choice. Matt walked us around his house and kennel area while giving us a break down of what a typical day would like like for the dogs staying with him. Okay, so you want to know if my GSD is now like Lassie and will bring me my slippers every morning? Not quite, but he is a million times calmer and does not bite nearly as much as he once did. Of course he picked up a new trick ("Place") as well as became more confident. We honestly can't wait to bring the dog back for the more advance training program, that focuses more on obedience as well as walking off leash. Matt is an awesome trainer and we couldn't have chosen someone more qualified. He makes it known that he's not just a dog person but a people person as well and is willing to help out anytime.

Sending our goldendoodle to Matt and his team at Tame Dog Training has been the best investment we have made in our dog! We have now sent him through two of their courses: we sent him as a puppy, where they successfully taught him obedience fundamentals that allowed us to immediately break him of jumping, puppy biting, etc.. We had no hesitation to send him back at about 14 months old for more advanced training and learning boundaries after my wife and I had a baby. We have been very happy with the results and very strongly recommended it to anyone considering it. They also offer boarding to previous clients, which is a no brainer because they work on reviewing the concepts from the dog's initial training course(s) while they are there. Finally, I'll add that we are only one of many people I know that have sent their dog to tame dog training and the positive results are consistent across the board. Very highly recommended.

We adopted a GSD last year that is a big sweet heart but, she grew more and more aggressive to strangers and other dogs. Just vicious. We couldn't find a pet sitter, trainer, or trust her around anyone. Even when I dropped her off for training at Tame Dog the first day she was trying to attack the trainer but, within 2 minutes she was settled down and hasn't done that since. She won't even run after rabbits.

Tame Dog Training worked wonders for our GSD puppy, Butters! We did the Standard Off-Leash program and boy was it worth it!! Butters can now consistently walk off-leash and is very responsive to commands. The training even includes a wireless collar package that is great for reinforcing training at home and in public. The owner is very responsive, knowledgeable, and has a clear passion for dog training. I highly recommend Tame Dog Training!
