    Matty B's Dog Training

    Matty B's Dog Training

    (2 reviews)

    In December of 2019, I adopted an abandoned puppy. Not knowing anything about this dog's breed we…read morenoticed she was timid, had anxiety and was unaware of how to act on a leash. When people would come to my house she would bark constantly and would not settle. I research many dog trainers in the St. Louis area. I liked the fact that Matty B's Dog Training had a personal approach to dog training and years of experience. After the very first lesson my dog was responsive and attentive to what we were teaching her. Matty B took time to study how my dog responded to the training and gave us tools to help her cope with her anxiety. It has been amazing the difference! When people come over now she knows she goes to her bed and is comforted knowing that she is safe there. When we go on walks she stays by my side. My dog is happier and we are enjoying our sweet unique dog. I highly recommend Matty B's Dog Training!!

    I am SO happy I chose Matty B's Dog Training. I have an 80 lb German Shepherd who didn't do well on…read moreleash and was terrible around other dogs. It would be close to impossible to control him if there was another dog around. I would avoid taking him on walks in fear of seeing another dog. I knew this wasn't the life I wanted for my dog so I finally decided to get help. I chose the 15 day bootcamp- I was terrified to send my dog away for that long but I am so happy I did. I was regularly updated and sent pictures which was great. You can tell Matt really cares about the dogs he works with. When we picked our boy up, Matt gave us a lesson about everything he had learned the last 2 weeks. We were amazed! Walks are now enjoyable- he is a completely different dog on leash. We now have the confidence of taking our dog in public. We just finished our 2 week followup where Matt came to our house to check on our progress. I highly recommend Matty B's Dog Training, and plan to utilize his services again in the future.

    The Tom Rose School

    The Tom Rose School is a complete fraud. My partner and I moved across several states specifically…read morebecause the school advertised itself as a place to train directly with Tom Rose. However, when my partner, toured the school last spring, it had already been sold and placed under new ownership and instructors. This crucial detail was never disclosed--then or now. Tom Rose is rarely involved with the school, yet they continue to exploit his name and reputation to mislead prospective students. Meanwhile, tuition has been increased, courses shortened, and important parts of the curriculum removed. The misrepresentation doesn't end there. They advertised Tom as a head instructor however, Tom met the students for lunch the first week and came to the school once to do a demo, and the methods he demonstrated were vastly different from what is currently being taught. Students no longer have access to the Tom Rose Ranch--this class toured it once, and that was it. In the past, students were taught pet first aid and CPR, but this class didn't receive that training. I feel this school has grossly misrepresented itself to both students and the VA. The new owners lack the knowledge, experience, and competence to run a program like this. They advertise job placement and claim to teach business and marketing for dog trainers, but none of this is true. Graduates leave with no assistance finding work, and the business and marketing training is practically nonexistent. The training methods taught here are outdated, excessively harsh, and unethical. The school relies heavily on compulsion training, emphasizing "yank and crank" corrections with prong collars and e-collars. To prevent exposure of their aggressive practices, students are prohibited from recording during class. I've personally seen dogs broken down, with tails between their legs, and many of them are just puppies. Some dogs are malnourished and treated poorly, I've witnessed puppies being subjected to e-collar corrections set dangerously high and other aggressive means of corrections. Whether the dog is a pet, a future service animal for a veteran, or a potential working dog for law enforcement, they are all treated with the same harsh methods. This school is nothing more than a cash grab, riding on the coattails of Tom Rose's name and legacy. It has misrepresented itself to students, veterans, and the VA. If you're considering this school--especially as a veteran using VA benefits--don't waste your time, money, or effort. There are far better programs out there that are ethical, transparent, and genuinely dedicated to dog training.

    I had a great experience at the Tom Rose School. I was a student that attended the professionals…read moreprogram and learned a lot! Hayssum and Keirsten care deeply for the students, clients, and staff. They always put the dog's health and safety first. I was very impressed with how well they managed both the school and the boarding facility.
