When it comes to behavior, your dog’s Training Matters
Sara Matters of Training Matters LLC delivers private professional dog training on a schedule that works for you either remotely or at her facility in Brattleboro. She also offers classes at her facility.
Sara focuses on both dog and household, creating a plan that accounts for what each family member can realistically contribute to teaching the essential behaviors you want as efficiently as possible.
