Matt is a certified dog trainer with the Animal Behavior College, and is an assistant trainer for Kate Perry Dog Training working closely with his mentor, Kate Perry. The philosophy and methodology used, centers around positive reinforcement. We also employ a scientifically proven teaching method derived from dolphin training that uses a marker signal to reinforce a desired behavior. This method helps dogs learn faster and better enables both dog and owner to enjoy the training experience.
Matt began his career by opening his own dog walking business in New York City in 2008 inspired by his passion for animals. He was invited by Kate Perry of Kate Perry Dog Training to be her assistant and continues to study intensively with her on more advanced cases.
