No matter your dog’s age, breed, or behavior, we’ll help you build the calm, confident relationship you’ve always wanted — with free support whenever you need it.
I’m Matt, the owner of Freedom K9, and my passion for dogs started when I was just 16.
I began my journey working in dog shelters, where I developed a deep interest in canine behavior and the bond between dogs and their owners. To deepen my knowledge, I attended the National K9 School for Dog Trainers, where I earned my Master Trainer certification.
Since then, I’ve had the privilege of working as head trainer for multiple training companies and learning from some of the best dog trainers from around the world.
Today, as the founder of Freedom K9, I’ve trained over 1,000 dogs, helping families build strong, lasting relationships with their pets through effective, compassionate training.
My mission is simple: to bring out the best in every dog while creating harmony and understanding between dogs and their owners.
At Freedom K9, training is balanced and tailored to each dog.
We combine structure, consistency, and accountability with praise and positive reinforcement, creating a system where dogs understand what’s expected while building trust and clear communication with their owners.
We prioritize mental stimulation, consistent guidance, and real-world reliability, helping dogs develop confidence and composure in any situation.
Every dog is unique, so we also adapt our methods to match their temperament, learning style, and energy level.
Our goal is simple: a happy, well-behaved dog and an owner who feels confident and in control.
Whether you choose Private Lessons or Board + Train, dogs 4 months and up always receive these program essentials.

We loved the experience! Matt was professional, calm and wonderful with our dog. We certainly noticed a difference before and after and it was worth every penny we spent. He answered questions, taught us how to train additional things for fun and walked us through every step. 10/10 recommend
Money well spent, our dog returned from her two week board and training a changed for the better dog.
Matt took scooter for two weeks and he was a completely different dog in the best way possible. Without him I probably would have had to put scooter down.
Matt is the absolute best. It's amazing how well behaved our dog is now. No matter how naughty or defiant your dog can be, Matt will get them turned around. Best money I've ever spent on dog training. Matt will also make house calls to make sure your dog is doing well and maintaining his training. Highly recommend!!!
